PHP and Perl can exist just fine, but you sound like you need a templating solution.

Template::Toolkit has a [% INCLUDE section %] tag where you can setup 1 template to handle the css linking for the entire site. You can easily convert the frames to templates with a simple script. Just setup each of the frames as a template and include them during the content conversion.

Very Simple Template Example: 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <title>FOOBAR</title>
    
    [% INCLUDE css %]

  </head>

  <body>
    <table>
      <tr> 
        <td colspan="2">[% INCLUDE top_nav %]</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>[% INCLUDE side_nav %]</td>
        <td> Insert your content here </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
