gotta use some kind of template.
All those print statements are one of the top arguments

Perl can do so much more than vanilla CGI scripts like this one.
Templating for instance
- Template Toolkit (Probably the most versatile and powerful)
- HTML::Template (A lightweight html oriented templating system)
Database Abstraction
A well designed perl application can use any database backend supported by the DBI (DataBase Interface) module or others - these include Postgres, ODBC, Oracle and even flat files.
Web server integration
Apache allows you to use and write modules in apache written in Perl and C, this provides a huge amount of power and flexibility, as well as the benefits of caching and compilation, database connection pooling, etc
