What makes you think that I don't understand what you're posting? I'm merely pointing out that, even when you disagree, you still can be polite, hence my "explaining what is wrong with producing CGI.pm HTML in a normal way"

I disagree on the way that embedding HTML generation in the code is always wrong. For simple scripts, it can be damned handy to keep everything in one big file. Although I haven't benchmarked it (and I'm not planning to do so), I believe for some scripts it's way faster not to use templates.

Besides that, your second point is of course totally ridiculous. So because you think the "embedded form of the code is extremely ugly", the OP shouldn't even think about using it?

So, yeah, to conclude, I have to give you credit for the "two clear criticisms". Those are totally non-biased arguments. Totally not based on opinion and zealotry. Sorry for that. I stand corrected. It's all very clear to me now.
