You should learn the HTML shortcuts that are provided with the CGI module. The following subroutine from this web page generates a Web page using Perl, with no HTML in the Perl, which is what I assume is what you are asking for. 
sub create_web_page {
    my %in_data = ( @_ );
    my $file       = "C:/windows/desktop/cgi_course/appendices/appendi
+x2.html";

    # Always check return codes!
    open OUT, ">$file" or die "Cannot open $file for writing: $!\n";

    print OUT $q->start_html( -title => "URL and HTML Character Codes"
+,
                              -style => { src  => '../style.css',
                                          type => 'text/css' },
                              -author=> 'poec@yahoo.com' ),
      $q->h1( 'URL and HTML Character Codes' ).
      $q->p(  'This Web page was created with Perl, using CGI.pm and s
+everal other modules.',
              'See the source code at the end of the page for how I cr
+eated it.' ),
      $q->p(  'Some may object to my listing HTML character codes for 
+"unused" characters',
              'such as ASCII 127 (hex 7F), but browser support for the
+se characters is spotty.',
              'Different browsers will choose to render these characte
+rs or not (e.g. IE 5.01',
              'recognizes € as the Euro "€" symbol, but Netsc
+ape 4.7 does not).  Owing',
              'to this difficulty, I have elected to leave things as t
+hey are and let you pick',
              'and choose the characters you need as you like.' ),
      $q->em( 'Amongst other things, the program reads its source code
+ to create this page.' ),
      $q->p(  ' ' ),
      $q->table( $q->Tr ( $q->th( $in_data{ headers} ) ),
                         $in_data{ data } ),
      $q->p( 'Back to the ' . $q->a( { -href => '../index.html' }, 'ta
+ble of contents' ) . '.' ),
      $q->pre( { class => 'program' },
               $in_data{ code } ),
      $q->end_html;
    close OUT;
}

However, this is usually a bad idea if you want to create large, scalable sites. http://www.template-toolkit.org has a great discussion of why templates are typically the way to go. If the Template Toolkit is too daunting, try Using HTML::Template. It's a simpler solution and very easy to implement.
