And is there any reason to have a list in the first place?
use constant NAVTABSLIST => <<'*END*';
<div id='header'>
<ul id='nav-tabs'>
<li><a href='#'><span>Home</span></a></li>
<li><a href='#'><span>Table</span></a></li>
<li><a href='#'><span>Chart</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
*END*
print NAVTABSLIST;
