SSI to include a perl script
Hello everyone,
Looks like I got my moderator position revoked. Thats actually good, I haven't had time to visit the forums as much as I had intended..sorry. Anyways, puttin that behind me, is there anyway to use SSI to execute a perl script?
I have tryed using #include but I keep getting "there was an error processing this directive" the standard error for when SSI can't find or can't use a specified file. Could someone point me in the right direction? Should I use #exec instead? I'm kinda lost, and I am heading home..ready to crack open a beer and fragg some arses in Q3...who's wit me? Alright.
Thanks guys,
Ken Elliott

Ah man one more thing. Is there something special I must do to my cgi script to have the output printed to the browser? I used a simple perl script as a test...
print "I smell like a monkey";
with the shebang of course...but I got a blank space in my shtml file...why? Atleast it is not erroring on me now. I'd appreciate any help...thanks..

have you tried running your CGI in a browser?
just point your browser to where your CGI is located on the server.
not sure if this will make a difference, but try adding a space between the last " and -->
