From the context of your post and this being your first writeup (as per your homenode), I presume (perhaps falsely):

With regard to the latter, check out the HTML 4.01 Specification (particularly note your misuse of form inputs). As to the perl... it would help if you actually posted the perl code as opposed to the HTML, however:

Your first question is purely HTML in nature. The problem is that the value itself is a mere string -- I believe you're looking for:

<font size=4><input type=radio value="HTML is not Perl"></font>

Ultimately you may have to use CSS for that purpose as the rendering of forum widgets (even the text of the values) is largely left to the individual browser. If you have any further questions regarding HTML or CSS, consult the specifications.

With regard to the latter question, you appear to be using a bit of Perl -- but with the wrong HTML. To title an HTML document with $title merely include the title tag in the head, eg:

<html>
<head>
<title>$title</tile>
</head>
<body>
This is sparse CGI Output
</body>
</html>

Hopefully that should get you started. If you still need help, please post the actual code -- at least the pertinant sections.

UPDATE: After re-reading your post it's aparent that you used the term 'title' to reference a particular "feature" of your site as opposed to the actual HTML tag. Nevertheless, the problem appears to be a malfunctioning Perl CGI -- please post the relevant code.
