Another way to do it would be to have the user supply a fully written html tempate but use special tags in it to place different items. You define those tags in your script
$item1 = "blah blah blah blah"; $item2 = "<img src=\"http://sitename.com/images/foo.gif\">"; $pagecontents = "Hello world\n"; $pagecontents .= "
\nHow are you\n
\n";
Then when you're ready to display the page results, open the template, read in the contents and replace the tags with the information you want

$templatefile = "template.html";
open(LOCAL, "<$templatefile") || &error('Cannot Open Template File');
if ($^O eq "dos") { binmode LOCAL; }
else { flock(LOCAL, 2); }
@template = <LOCAL>;
close LOCAL or &error('Cannot Close New File');
foreach $line(@template) {
    $line =~ s/<insert item1>/$item1/g;
    $line =~ s/<insert item2>/$item2/g;
    $line =~ s/<page body>/$pagecontents/g;
    print "$line";
}
