Since you mention this is on your main page, it sounds like you are worried a bit about performance. A static page is much faster than a page that requires a DB lookup, however, some web server setups already incur much of the expense of establishing a DB connection so the "cost" might not be so high; it depends on your particular circustances. Let's assume that the choice is between a static page and the full cost of establishing a DB connection and quering the DB for the info.
You can build a semi-static site quite easily. Use HTML::Template (or other templating module) to merge semi-static db data into static .html files. Psuedo code below: (note this does one file, but you could easily do many with this same script )
use HTML::Template
my %vars = getStuffFromDB();
# open the html template
my $t = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'ffff.tmpl');
$t->param( foo => $var{'foo'};
# open $filehandle to .html file
.. snip ..
# output
print $fh $t->output;
