I posted a similar problem back in june/july for a query on SSI. Got that working and it worked well! Problem is now that that Im working on a different server and I can't use SSI


I asked my m8 about it who uses php and he suggested a
<?php
inlcude=("pagename.html");
?>

which works brilliantly! Problem is tho that Im a perl guy! Whats php eh?

Is there a similar method to calling in pages with perl?
There is only two types of pages that Ill be calling in and these would be .pl & .html

I read somewhere from a link on here that the require method might work although that is more to do with executing code and getting results to <i>require</i>

I just want the whole file called in and if their is any pl needed to be executed it would be done the normal page (behind it)

can anyone suggest an equal to php's include?

pretty close to perl

include ("pagename.html");

The only thing that will do this is Embperl but if they don't have SSI set up I really doubt that they will have Embperl set up. Your best bet is to use PHP like your m8 suggested. Look into the system, include, and virtual commands:

system: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php
include: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
virtual: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.virtual.php

The virtual command is probably the one you want.

Perl..:

Code:

use LWP::Simple;
$page = get("pagename.html");
print $page;

Isn't that easier?
