"many lines of code" = about 1,500
How do you create your html? If it is generated with print and heredocs within the script, you probably can reduce its size by using a templating mechanism and moving the html to separate files.
Also, if you have such a big number of constants in your script, I would put them in some kind of configuration file, so you can change them without having to edit the script.
- reduced total code lines because common elements are not rerpoduced in separate scripts
- during development, a change to any common element only has to be made once instad of four times.
There is another way to achieve this. Put your common code into modules.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
