Something like this, only a more advanced form fields module might be better if you're doing a professional app rather than a quick hack, and you'd want to put your site design in a template file rather than just hard-coding it here. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI qw(:standard);
use strict;
use warnings;

my (@errors, %data, %forms);

### Validate fields
if (param('submitted')) {
    $data{$_} = param($_) for param();
    ### Do whatever convertions on %data

    push @errors, 'My field is required.'
        if !$data{'myfield'};
}

### Process form data somehow
if (param('submitted') && $#errors == -1) {
    ### Do something, like submit to database or display result
    ### Forward to another page, or display form again by just
    ###    letting it run through to the bottom
}

### Generate form fields, filling in previous values
$forms{'myfield'} = textfield(-name => 'myfield', -value => $data{'myf
+ield'}, -size => 10, -maxlength => 50);

print qq|
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<b>Page Title</b><p>
|;

if ($#errors != -1) {
    print '<font color="#CC0000"><b>';
    print join "<br>\n", @errors;
    print '</b></font><p>';
}

print qq|
<form method="post" action="$ENV{'REQUEST_URI'}">
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="1">
$forms{'myfield'}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>
|;
