I wouldn't mod you down, but I'd still use CGI.pm, even for something this simple, mainly because it takes care of the fact that improperly capitalized headers will make your page behave strangely on some browsers. I'd rather not worry about it, and it's quicker to develop a script like this with CGI.pm than to go and check the exact, proper method to make a header.
Do I use strict and taint checking for little scripts like this that don't take input? Nope. But for everything longer than 5 lines or that takes input I do, just in case.

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).
