You can use the CGI module this way:
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
my $username = $q -> param('username');
my $password = $q -> param ('password');
...
#That's all with the CGI module.
#Now you can use the normal HTML style of printing the page:
print <<end_of_page;
lot of html
end_of_page
This way you won't need to remember all the CGI functions for generating
HTML, but only the functions for getting the data from forms, and eventually
for setting some headers, etc.

Really?
How could I mix something like:
print OUTPUTFILE $q->start_html('Application');
print OUTPUTFILE $q->center(
$q->h2("My Company Name"),
$q->p($q->strong("Application")),
);
print OUTPUTFILE $q->p("Applicant's Name: ",$q->b($q->param("Name"));
With something like print >> End_of_form? Isn't that producing two HTML
headers, which is illegal?
...unless I just use CGI.pm for variable processing. Hmmm. Would this work?
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI();
print OUTPUTFILE >> End_of_form
<B>My Company Name</B>
Applicant's Name: $q->param("Name")
End_of_form
??
If that's a legal syntax, then that solves my problem!
Thanks all!
