Even your HTML needs some work, a mix of css classes and inline styles. Is it functional, sure. Does it make sense from a maintenance point of view, no. In response to this (and other replies) If what you have works for you and you don't have the time or inclination to learn modern practices nobody has a problem with that, but they way you write code "does nothing to dispel the image of Perl being old fashioned, outdated and obsolete.", and if you keep asking how to improve things you're likely only going to get the same answer you've had before, which has seemingly been dismissed without proper evaluation. At work (and elsewhere) I'm a lone developer frameworks and modern methods help me in my life, you don't need to be in a team to benefit from this. If you were to go down this path I'd suggest familiarising yourself with MVC and the Mojolicious docs, for me this along with just playing around with the thing was the way forwards.
