Howdy all, I was perusing some of the threads today and noticed one thread which claimed that putting html inside a script was poor programming practice.

I *always* put html inside my scripts, usually as a subroutine, so its out of the way. I've occasionally used templates and then brought those in as a filehandle, and inserted code with markers, but this seems awkward to me.

For instance, I usually have a headers() subroutine, to print my css and javascript as well as a content() subroutine, through which I may pass values to be placed in the html. I work for a very small business, and as such, I am the only web programmer and have learned everything in a vaccum. So, I'm curious as to what methods you guys(and gals) use.

thanks,
Elam
