Perl's equivalents of "include" are use, require and do. However, all of those methods expect the file that you're including to be Perl code, not HTML.

So I think that perhaps you want to just open the files and read the contents. Or maybe you should be looking at Server Side Includes or a decent Templating system.

undef $/;
open (FILE,"/path/to/header.html");
my $file = ;
close(FILE);
print "$file"; 

Hi sbhar,

In perl, you can read the content of the file and can print in the html page. Like the sample code above given by perlsen. And also, there is a module HTML::Template you can refer the link. There is a function 'TMPL_INCLUDE' using that you can include the files. It's very simple and effective module for the usage of htmls.
