The idea of using something like HTML::Template is definitely worth looking into -- it can simplify your perl code a lot, and make it easier to tweak/fix the HTML display without having to change the perl code.

Based on the code you've posted, it's not clear to me (because I lack CSS experience) how the div and br tags are being transformed into a table layout. In any case, if I were to try to do this without HTML::Template, it would probably look something like this (note that I'm not using div or br tags, either, but maybe you can work that out yourself, if it matters): 

# create a reference to a hash with @$times as keys and values:
my $times_href = { map { $_ => $_ } @$times };

# add the image tagging to the $icon elements:
$icons->{$_} = "<img src=\"$icons->{$_}\" alt=\"\" />" for ( keys %$ic
+ons );

print "<table>\n";
for my $dref ( $icons, $times_href, $conditions, $hilo, $temperatures 
+) {
    print "<tr>";
    print "<td>$dref->{$_}</td>" for ( @$times );
    print "</tr>\n";
}
print "</table>\n";

Since most of your data is in hash refs already, putting the @$times data into a hash ref as well means that you can treat all the table rows the same way, and you still use @$times to run the loop that prints the columns on each row in the proper order.

(updated to add (and fix) the for loop that modifies the contents of the $icons hash ref, so that they can also be used the same way as the other hash refs when printing the table)

(another update: I realize that I've left out some of the details in the OP code, like adding the "°F" on the temperatures, the "abbr" tags, etc. But these would be handled the same way as adding the "img" tagging on the "%$icons" data.)
