Part of what he wants to do sounds like including a table definition, which would be config, not code.
I got the impression that he mostly wanted to include text/html and some external code (e.g. functions). I saw the part about using do for config purposes in that other page that I linked to, which is why I said "in general" don't use it. I assumed that if he read the node that he'd get the idea. I've seen do abused too many times (post perl 4) to just say "here's how do works, go ahead and use it!" It's better to give context and better alternatives when possible.

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).
