The return from a Dancer “template” call is HTML, so you can just use it directly when rendering a sub-element.  (Assuming the template is in fact written in HTML.)

I cover this technique in my Perl Advent Calendar 2016 article series:

    http://advent.perldancer.org/2016/3
    http://advent.perldancer.org/2016/4
    http://advent.perldancer.org/2016/5
    http://advent.perldancer.org/2016/6

This specific bit is in the middle article under "Factor Common UI Elements Out”.  It will help to read the whole series, since it’s describing a set of concepts that hang logically together.
