Sure CGI does, it's just now only documented in CGI::HTML::Functions

And though it's not officially maintained anymore it's for sure a better bet than "19 year-old abandonware" (quoting Your Mother here)

edit

and after further reading there is also HTML::Tiny

update

And there is DSL::HTML which "takes the alternative approach, but does it in a significantly more elegent way."

I intentionally left the typo in the quote ... you'll notice it has an "early version warning" and no changes since 2013

    Thanks for the pointers. I already have the CGI module, I didn't know it was the html-generation stuff broken out. I also found another module that is fascinating me: HTML::TagTree. Everything is objects and the HTML tags are methods. whtn you create a table, your $table is a TagTree object {it says that every HMTL tag is a method} and it seems to produce nice-looking code. More to play with :)
