The answer to this one may seem a bit simplistic, but bear with me please. The 'main' frame should be a cgi script that does not ever change. You want the behaviour of this frame to change by passing parameters.
The main file could be named main.pl and accept parameters such as doLogin if they need to login. Or doMain if they are to view the main. THEN, have the main.pl open the appropriate html file and display its contents. Mind you this isn't very secure so use Taint mode in the main.pl file '#!/bin/perl -T'. Also you may make a list of files that this script is allowed to open, and if the file isnt' listed, then don't open it....Whatever, it is your choice, just be warned that what I said is not secure.
