Aside from the fact that its ugly, unintuitive and breaks perl builtins, why not just steal even more from php and simliar things and allow flow control to wrap html? Something like: 
<html>
    <body>
        <table>
            <% for( @loop ) { %>
                <tr><td><% $_ %></td></tr>
            <% } %>
        </table>
    </body>
</html>
