The way I normally do it, is use HTML::Template, so you have a Error page template, then just load error message into it.

Template:

<hmtl>
  <head>
    <title> Error <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="err" --></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <H1>Error <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="err" --> Occured</H1><BR>
    Explanation: <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="Explain" -->
  </body>
</html>

Perl Code:

use strict;
use CGI;
use HTML::Template;

my $cgi = new CGI;
my $template = HTML::Template->new(
                  filename => 'error.tmpl',
                  associate => $cgi,
                  die_on_bad_params => 0
              );
                 
my $explanation = &get_explanation($cgi->param('err'));
$template->param(Explain => $explanation);
print $cgi->header(), $template->output();

sub get_explanation{
  my $err = $_[0];
  ##Get Explanation
}

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.
