As Anonymous Monk already pointed out, the answers are all in Html Template CSS and CGI PERL

I would like to comment on your template though, for you have quite a few errors in there (small as it is):

<html>
    <head>
<center><h2>Registration Form</h2></center>
    <title> Registration</title>
 <body>
     <p>my text goes here.
   </body>
</html>

First of all, please, oh please remember to close your tags. head and p aren't, providing you with your next problem, the <center><h2>Registration Form</h2></center> within your head block.

Secondly, if you want to use CSS, you might aswell get rid of the <center> tags... (h2 { text-align: center; })

Rewritten template:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
 <head>
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/path/to/your.css" /> 
   <title>Registration</title>
 </head>
 <body>
   <h2>Registration Form</h2>
   <p>my text goes here.</p>
 </body>
</html>

All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.
