Well, it is dangerous in the sense that it is only, IMHO, a partial separation of Perl and HTML. As a pragmatic point I consider that the programme and the presentation should 'always be separated when it is reasonably possible to do so'.
The viewpoint I was hoping to express here is that if this technique works for you, then use it. But beware, it is only a half measure and wilst I would consider it appropriate for small or simple applications. I think the original question included a remark about the writer preparing some scripts for a friend where a simple script and a single template were involved. As a method of packaging the script and template where the author is likely to be the one modifying both parts then it might be a pragmatically acceptable alternative.

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).
