Three solutions:

Role your own SSI parser; namely, watch for the #include statements, and open up the file, and read it in, recursively following the #include links. This sorta works, and particularly if you mix static and dynamic pages.

Look at CGI::SSI. Haven't used it myself, but it should basically do the same as above.

Look into the Templating modules Text::Template, HTML::Template, and Template, all which easily support SSI-like features.
