Hello
akapoor,
I recommend using a templating system like
HTML::Template or
Template, which is part of the Template Toolkit. They are will do what you are asking and give you flexibility for later.
HTML::Template is lighter, and might be a good place to start. By the way, the language is
Perl (as you have it in your title) and not
PERL (as you have it in your post). There is a
difference. :-)
