This sounds very good. I'll have to add more SF links to the website.

Basically, it's pretty good. fwiw, in general I use:

open OUT, ">$filename"
or die qq(could not open "$filename" ($!));

Oftentimes the $filename has surprising contents that 'could not open
file' doesn't reveal, and sometimes errno is interesting, too.

Also, you really don't need start_html() and end_html(). I would use Here
Documents for the long strings with '%s' for $title, and printf():

$Preamble=<<"HTML"
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC
[...]
HTML

printf HTML $Preamble, $title;

I guess we're on topic.... ;-)
