Thanks Neil and Gerald. The below solution works great. Maybe add that to
the document.

Here's a quick observation. I was doing [- Execute ("header.html") -] it
is much better to give it full path because the template file looks in the
current direcoty as its root. So even [- Execute ("/header.html") -] fails
under the /login directory because the file.html is in the / directory.

[- Execute ("$docroot/header.html") -] works fine from any base file.

Thank you very much.

Yes, this works, but then you can't overwrite your header.html in a
subdirectory. It's better to set EMBPERL_OBJECT_STOPDIR to docroot, in this
case Embperl searches always upwards to the stopdir, regardless where it
founds the base template, so header.html without path will work again.
