Shane,
Um, first of all, you probably shouldn't be modifying your cgi script dynamically,
Lots of room
for error. What you should be doing instead is perhaps updating a text file that the
cgi script
will open and use as its Insert content here content.
Next, how is the template.cgi being called? Is it an include in an html page or
something? Are
you opening it with another cgi script? More information is needed to help you finish
resolving
this problem.
Regards,
David

Subject: Executing cgi from perl script
Hi,
I want to execute a cgi script from a perl script that first updates the cgi
script. The basic code I'm using to open and update the file is:
print Content-type: text/html\n\n;
open RESULT, template.cgi;
while (RESULT) {
s/Insert content here/$output/g;
print;
}
close RESULT;
The cgi file calls the header and footer for the application. When I run it
like this I get a web page with cgi code in the header and footer and the
correct content. How do I execute the cgi file after updating it? I'm on the
right track?
Thanks
Shane
