Here's some code I did earlier:-
my $request = new CGI();
my $cgi = new CGI();

print $cgi->header( -type=>'text/html' );
print $cgi->start_html(-style=>{'src'=>'/styles/fred.css'} );

# more Perl ....

If all else fails, then there is 

print <<HTML_HEADER;
Content-type: text/html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Sorry, Help File Not Found.</title>
    <link href="/styles404.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
HTML_HEADER

You can of course, interpolate variables in the here document in the second 
example, to customise content appropriately.
