I shudder at all that HTML in a perl sub, so I would write it as:

sub head {
  $Response->Include('head.inc', @_);
}
and have the HTML in the head.inc, which I would put in the 
same directory as global.asa.

Or do away with the sub altogether and:
 <% $Response->Include($page, $title); %>

For XMLSubs shorthand of this I might:
  # httpd.conf
  PerlSetVar XMLSubs my:header

and then:
 # global.asa, or my.pm, or My::Tags, which is used in global.asa
 sub my::header {
    $main::Response->Include('head.inc', @_);
 }

so I could finally:
 <my:header title="$title" />

but if you don't want XMLSubs, you could shorthand 
$Response include:

 # global.asa
 sub inc {
   $Response->Include($script, @_);
 }

so you could then:

<% &inc('head.inc', $title); %>

I like perl because TIMTOWTDI :)

Sure, but I like XMLSubs better.  Make's the page cleaner
with tags like:

 <my:header title="..." />
