I wonder what's worse. Some guy writing code the way he wants (using CGI.pm) or some (HTML::)Template( Toolkit) zealot...

Your reaction is nothing but a Pavlovian reaction. Instead of explaining what is wrong with producing CGI.pm HTML in a normal way, you try to make the OP look bad for even talking about CGI.pm. You don't know anything about the project (s)he's working on, so you can't tell wheter using CGI.pm is really a bad choice.

Just because you think(/read that) using CGI.pm for HTML creation is bad, doesn't mean that others can't be happy with it.

Please, please give some more structured criticism instead of this zealotry.
