script help needed

I have the following code inside a postcard script that was given to me, I want the text to come up against a white background, perhaps inside a table w/ a white background. Could you modify this part of the code so it will do that? Thanks in advance!

print "If the postcard is the way you want it, press the send button.\n";
print "If you need to make changes, use the back button on your browser.\n";
print "Please wait a few seconds for the postcard to be sent. Pressing the button more than once\n";
print "will send additional postcards. During periods of high usage, the system may be\n";
print "slower than usual. Thanks. \n\n";

#this is more of an HTML wuestion than a Perl question
print '<TABLE><TR><TD BGCOLOR="white">';
print "If the postcard is the way you want it, press the send button.\n";
print "If you need to make changes, use the back button on your browser.\n";
print "Please wait a few seconds for the postcard to be sent. Pressing the button more than
once\n";
print "will send additional postcards. During periods of high usage, the system may
be\n";
print "slower than usual. Thanks. \n\n";
print '</TD></TR></TABLE>';
