i am generating all this web pages using Perl so can't I put menu bar code in separate file, and call it whenever required.

Sure you can :) you can do the same with frobnits.cgi/pagename ... Path::Dispatcher, CGI::Application::Dispatch

example :) run it (maybe  perl moannoy.pl daemon -l http://localhost:80/ ), click the links in your browser .... 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use Mojolicious::Lite;
get '/' => { template => 'index', title => time };;;
app->start;

        <button onclick="annoying()"> hi </button>

or should i write a simple module

You should write that regardless -- doesn't have to be a real module, but each page should be a function DebugCGI
