Although such constructs are not IMMEDIATLY apparent, if you
read the pod docs, you will see that html which is not
"built in" can be added to any function.

However, I agree (at least in part) with the others when I say
that using CGI.pm to write your html is extremely usefull if your site depends on a back end to produce the text, such as pages which are dynamically generated from data in a database, etc. For static flat files, it is literally a waste of time - yours, and your servers.

CGI.pm can be and often is an unbelievable help in coding many sites and interfaces. It can also be an albatross if used when it's features are more work than regular html.
