Yes the CGI.pm can be used with a template system, though you are not likely to use some/most of the HTML building features. Personally I have a home grown system that works well, but you are right to evaluate the above suggestions before going down my route. In my case I use CGI.pm for parameter parsing, cookie handling, etc. but avoid the HTML/response related pieces. Yours is a very subjective question, in your shoes I would create a small site/application using both and decide which interface makes the most sense for your development style, your users, etc. Sorry I can't provide more concrete advice but I have used neither to any real extent, others on the list I am sure will chime in...
