Both previous replies already answer your question - it's very possible.

I'd like to add, that I've created a few websites with the help of CGI::Application and HTML::Template, and I cannot recommend the duo enough. Read the excellent tutorials here, if you want a good start:

• CGI::Application tutorial
• HTML::Template tutorial
• CGI::Application module review

Note, that HTML, as well as basic CSS knowledge, is usually needed, if you want the site to look at least decent. The good news is, that HTML::Template provides very little overhead - you can give the template file to a fellow web designer, and he'll be able to make something decent out of it. You can also use any free web template with HTML::Template with very little work.

Good Luck!
