My solution is a little more general. I wrote this so my CGI could fit into
HTML created using Dreamweaver templates. In the Dreamweaver template
wherever I want my perl to write, I put a unique string, like "perlinsert".
Then I call a subroutine to put the html into an array, and print it as
needed.
my @html = split(/"perlinsert"/, getTemplate("template.htm"));
print $cgi->header, $html[0];
#perl code to print into section 1
print $html[1];
#perl code to print to next section...
#---------------Get the HTML template from an .htm file-----------------
sub getTemplate(){
my $t = @_[0];
my $template = "";
open(HTML, $t) || print "The file you are accessing cannot be opened";
while(<HTML>){$template .= $_;}
close(HTML);
return $template;
}
Then when I update the Dreamweaver template, the CGI's all get the updates
as well.
