does anyone of you have an idea how i simply can design a dynamic "menu" (don't know if you know this word, navigation-bar?) for my page?
i don't want to edit my html for every change...
thank you for your help!

You could use Server Side Includes (SSI)
to do this easily (if your host supports it).

Place the following where the side menu is suppose to go,
<!--#include file="nagivation.html"-->

Nope

SSI doesn't have anything to do with perl.
If your host you to use SSI, just put
<!--#include file="nagivation.html"-->
where the navigation bar should go on every page, and than have a
navigation.html containing the navigation bar.
Simple as that
