If the text files looks like the one you have below, with entries
separated by blank lines, here's a rough outline of what you could do:

Hope this helps, 
Briac

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);

my @entries;

{
        local $/ = '';  # Paragraph reading mode
        while (<DATA>){
                chomp;
                my @datas = split(/\n/, $_);
                push( @entries, [@datas] );
        }
}

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper @entries;

print header(), start_html('CGI people'),
        table(
                map { Tr(td([@$_])) } @entries
        ),
        end_html();
