RE: Calling CF template from perl?
Sounds like you can use the HTTP Mod in PERL. HTTP::Request::Common::GET or HTTP::Request::Common::POST If you need a little help - email me off list and I'll see if I can dig up some code for you if you need more help.

The LWP package works very nicely. I use it in a scheduled environment everyday.

RE: Calling CF template from perl?
Two ways, three ways actually: CFEXECUTE - Under CF 4.5 CFHTTP (set up the perl script as a CGI) CF_Perl, a custom tag I wrote, that allows you to embed the code directly in the file (but it uses CFEXECUTE as well) === Raymond Camden, Cold Fusion Jedi Master for Syntegra (www.syntegra.com) Allaire Certified Instructor and Member of Team Allaire Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN : 3679482 "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2000 7:49 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Calling CF template from perl? > > > Hi, through a combination of circumstances beyond our control we have > inherited a Perl script which we need to get running on an NT system.

Re: Calling CF template from perl?
Can't you use the Net::SMTP module ??? or to call the cf using "libwww-perl (LWP) modules" , something like ... use LWP::Simple; $content = get($URL); you'll need to encode the URL you send more @ http://www.perl.com/pub/doc/manual/html/pod/perlfaq9.html or www.cpan.org to get the modules. ~Justin MacCarthy - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2000 12:48 PM Subject: Calling CF template from perl? > Hi, through a combination of circumstances beyond our control we have > inherited a Perl script which we need to get running on an NT system.
