Hello, In order to utilize my site's dynamic header, footer, banner ad programs, etc., I am generating the mailman HTML enveloping content with a Perl script, and calling mailman's cgi scripts, as appropriate, using a shell command. Example below: $listinfo_output = `/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo`; Note backticks to invoke this script from the shell in my Perl script.
This successfully loads the variable "$listinfo_output" with the output from the mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo command, from there I can print or extract content from the HTML as useful. My problem is, to get any list-specific output from the mailman/cgi-bin/* scripts, I need to be able to pass the listname to the script - and I can't figure out how to do this with the shell command. If I follow the standard syntax from the web (e.g. `/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/somelist`) the shell looks for a non-existent program in the non-existent listinfo directory (listinfo is, of course, a script). Using the scheme outlined above, how can I pass the listname to the various cgi-bin scripts from mailman to capture their list-specific output for customized pages? I do realize there are templates for customizing the HTML, but these are not useful for server side include files and scripts, on which my site depends heavily. Thanks in advance... :o) Bob R ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
