At first, I thought that you wanted to parse an HTML file as an input, to get information out of it. For that purpose, I would have suggested that you search for "html parse" at http://search.cpan.org.

But instead I think that you may want to generate a customized HTML content using the file shown above as a template. There are numerous templating engines available in Perl. My personal favorite happens to be Template::Toolkit. Although it is most often used in interactive web-sites, it can be used very well in situations like this, especially when you would like to vary what is produced, e.g.: "Thank you for your payment! :-)" vs. "Pay Up Now, You Scum, Or Your Parakeet Gets It! :-[" depending on the balance.

Start with this tutorial, which deals specifically with how to generate a file (or a string) from a templated source: Template::Tutorial::Datafile.

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.
