I often use HTML::Table for this sort of thing. I think it's pretty easy to read and to maintain. Here's an example like yours:

use CGI ':standard';
use HTML::Table;

# Create the "Days" sub-table
my $table = HTML::Table->new;
$table1->addRow('Days With Appointments');
$table1->addRow(scrolling_list(
                -NAME     => "daysList",
                -VALUES   => [keys %calendar],
                -SIZE     => 5,
                -MULTIPLE => 0,));
$table1->addRow(submit({
                -name  => 'dateSelectionButton',
                -value => 'Display Appts'}));

# Create the "Appointments" sub-table
my $table2 = HTML::Table->new;
$table2->addRow('Appointments');
$table2->addRow(scrolling_list(
                -NAME     => "apptsList",
                -VALUES   => \@apptTimeList,
                -SIZE     => 5,
                -MULTIPLE => 0,));

# Create a table to act as a container for 
# the previous two sub-tables
my $bigtable = HTML::Table->new;
$bigtable->addRow($table1, $table2);
print $bigtable;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
