I usually don't have very complicated web pages so it's always seemed easy enough to do what I've done. Can you be more specific then "For the love of god, HTML::Template"? You don't make a very convincing case for why I should learn an entire templating system for a few substitutions. Now, I am sure you have good reasons for why I should use HTML::Template, but can you elaborate? I'd love to improve my code.

I could state most of my reasons, but I think other people have stated them far more convincingly then I have. So I'll just refer you to a couple of interesting threads/articles.
Choosing a Templating System
I am about to write my very own templating module..
A general search
In short the reason for using a module for this as the same as the reason for using a module for anything else. The module is (usually) extremely well tested and highly developed. It's been used by large numbers of different people so must of the bugs have been worked out and the interface is usually well suited for the task at hand.
