perl -pew "s/\b;([mnst])/'$1/g"

Good point, belg4mit. I've actually gone one beyond this and, combined with one of crazyinsomniac's suggestions from below, I've made the program quite a bit more customizable. The CGI script now has the following line, allowing me to set both the path top the templates and the main application title:

my $webapp = AuthorWeb->new(
                        TMPL_PATH => '/path/to/includes/',
                        PARAMS    => { apptitle => 'Corwin\'s AuthorWe
+b'}
);
