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.
