How exactly do you get a SSI to work? Below is the program I wish to run (ie, program that prints out the stuff I want to include) whenever the file is called via... <!--#exec cgi="banner.pl"--> ...assuming the correct path. Since I have large indents and it will likely wrap I've included a short version. There are no variables etc in $banner, just html code for a menu bar --Nick #!perl -w #### short version #### $banner = <<BANNER ; ...stuff goes here... BANNER print "$banner"; #!perl -w #### long version #### $banner = <<BANNER ; <!--########## begin menu bar ##########--> <TABLE align=left cellpadding=5 width=175> <TR> <TD bgcolor="#dddddd"> <FONT SIZE=-1> <B><A HREF="../index.html">Welcome Page</A></B> <BR><IMG src="../wren-resources/homepage.JPG" align=left> Homepage of the Department<P> <B><A HREF="../people/people.html">Faculty, Staff, and Students</A></B> <BR><IMG src="../wren-resources/title-people.JPG" align=left> Information about the people<P> <B><A HREF="../news/news.html">Department Info</A></B> <BR><IMG src="../wren-resources/title-news.JPG" align=left> Facts about the department<P> <B><A HREF="../resources/resources.html">Cultural and Educational Links</A></B> <BR><IMG src="../wren-resources/title-resources.JPG" align=left> Electronic French Resources<P> <B><A HREF="../events/events.html">Current Events</A></B> <BR><IMG src="../wren-resources/title-events.JPG" align=left> Upcoming events in the department<P> <B><A HREF="../courses/courses.html">Individual Courses</A></B> <BR><IMG src="../wren-resources/title-courses.JPG" align=left> Catalog Descriptions of French Courses <P> <B><A HREF="../house/theme.html">Language House</A></B> <BR><IMG src="../wren-resources/title-house.JPG" align=left> The French House's webpage<P> </FONT> </TD> <TD bgcolor="#ff0000"> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <!--########## end menu bar ##########--> BANNER print "$banner"; ==== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ==== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-webcgi-request@macperl.org
