We are basically on the same (web) page. A lot of us have legacy HTML pages that we are integrating into new projects, and it is better to reuse them than to redo them as templates or using CGI.pm's HTML functions.

I prefer to include the legacy HTML pages as here documents rather than as separate files. That way everything is one one file. In my office we are still working the kinks out of our version control system and anything that avoids adding to the number of files in a project is a plus.
