ErrorDocument 404 /cgi-bin/template.cgi

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/custom-error.html for environment 
variables you can use in the CGI.

Doh. Why didn't I think of that - seems very simple and elegant :)

I've just read it through and I don't see any problems (I presume I can stop it sending a 404 code - I'll look into that).

Jut have to toss up between HTML::Template and Mason now.

One immediate advantage to using a smart templating system is I can hide the page menus from the Google Spider which should improve the indexing of the site (right now, Google guesses the main target page pretty well but lists lots of the other pages too if the keyword is a menu item).

Thank you very much Joost :)

Cheers

Tim
