Sounds like you want a templating system.
Check out these modules. All 3 are excellent.:
- Template Toolkit.
- HTML::Template
- HTML::Mason
How you would use Template Toolkit:
Create a template 'my_template.tmpl':
<html>
...
<body>
Hello [% name %], how are you today
</body>
</html>
Your perl code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Template;
my $file = 'my_template.tmpl';
my $vars = {
name => "Schmidy"
};
my $template = Template->new();
$template->process($file, $vars)
|| die "Template process failed: ", $template->error(), "\n";
You get to seperate your presentation from your code. No more digging through html in your perl code.

If these are coming from CGI, you can even use CGI.pm directly in your template:
[% USE c = CGI; name = c.param("name"); %]
<html>
...
<body>
Hello [% name %], how are you today
</body>
</html>
