Thanks for the ideas. Yes Darren's idea will work too
it seems. I was hacking around last night and came up
with this solution, which is fairly efficient...
NavBar.pm does a reg exp on a comment tag you specify,
so I added to this to include my include tag, then
just added the random.cgi code to NavBar.pm...
while (<$fh>)
{
s/(<\!--start-->)/$navbar$1/oi;
s/(<\!--\#exec
cgi=\"\/salescgi-bin\/random.cgi\"-->)/$random$1/oi;
}
continue
{
$r->print($_);
}
return OK;
Thanks for your help gentlemen.
Charles.
