if you decide to go with a template system , a good simple one I use quite a lot is the module HTML::Template . this allows you to have separate html template pages with place holder tags that your CGI script would process and then output to the calling browser. You could then just take your regular html page with your css stuff applied and replace those bits that have to have a calculation or other function with a template var. you then can maintain the look of your static pages with your dynamically generated pages .
