Including an HTML file in PERL print

appaulled has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How do I insert an HTML in the print ""; portion of a script. I would like to keep a sript's HTML output looking the same as the rest of the website. To do this I need to input a header and footer HTML file.

Look at the various template modules for perl, including but not limited to Text::Template, HTML::Template, and Template (aka Template Toolkit 2). All of these allow you to develop skeleton pages for both static and dynamic pages for a consistent website look and add little overhead for dynamic page generation when used right.	[reply]
