This is for primarily static web sites which are managed by a CMS. The CMS publishes out pages which would contain HTML + various bits of code to generate possibly navigation and semi-interactive bits of the page. (Imagine a list of the users currently logged into the site or a database query on the 5 products most relevant to the current page, for example.) For any serious application dev, we'd probably reach for an MVC framework... CGI::Application/HTML::Template, for example.
