in reply to importing HTML code into perl

If you use a here page you do not need to quote stuff or add escapes, plus interpolation of variables is possible: 

my $stuff_to_interpolate = 'Just another Perl hacker,';
print <<END_OF_HTML;
Content-type: text/html

<html>
<head>
  <title>
    $stuff_to_interpolate
  </title>
</head>
<body>
Blah blah blah
</body>
</html>
END_OF_HTML

[download]

Make sure the token you use (in this case END_OF_HTML )appears on a line by itself and you will be fine
