Hi David,
Perl may be the best choice. There may be other ways to do this with 
html, but all I know is to use framesets. And that means rebuilding 
the page totally with frames and the problems that frames raise with 
printing, accessibility and being almost invisible to search engines. 
You can reverse you problem with compatibility and use inline frames 
but netscape doesn't seem to like that. You might consider a 
javascript pop-up window. Another issue with placing content on a 
page like that concerns copyrights and getting written permission to 
include somebody else's intellectual property  inside of your pages.

best,
Michael
