A CSS @import (assuming that is what you mean by a CSS include) is client side. What software you use to generate your client side code is rather irrelevent. Perl should not a be a factor in this not working. (Of course it is possible you are generating invalid content, or sending a Content-type header that claims the CSS is something other then CSS, but that is impossible to debug without seeing the code.) As for Perl and PHP; they are different tools to do the same job. While it is theoretically possible to configure your server to chain together PHP and Perl interpretors (thus generating HTML from PHP, but generating the PHP from Perl (or generating Perl from PHP and the HTML from the Perl) this isn't something I'd want to do as it is overly complex and inefficient. Once you get down to it, there isn't anything you can do with PHP that you can't do with Perl (and vice versa), although some things might be easier in one or the other. I suggest you pick a language and stick to it. (Perl is a good choice :D ) > the newbie at perl & php. If you are a PHP beginner AND a Perl beginner then its even more of a bad idea to try to use them both at the same time! -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
