Opinions differ. I think including these "HTML generation" functions
in CGI.pm was a bad design decision (a module should do only one
thing) and that they are hard to read and maintain.
If you have the HTML outside the script or at least inside the
script, but in big chunks even people who have no idea about Perl can
tweak the HTML and they do have a chance to make it right. Plus you
can let a designer create the page for you and then just turn the
static HTML into a template. Whether the template is outside or
inside the script file is not that relevant then.

P.S.: I wonder how experienced a Perl programmer Mr. Dyer is.
-value=>"$user" ?
Why the quotes dude? If you are lucky they just slow things down, if
not they'll break your script.
