Hello All-
I was just about to send an email about something like this, so I figured
I would answer with a question. I have a perl file which when browsed to,
creates an html page that is sent to the browser. This code was not written
by me. A client would like to have that output incorporated into my perl
scripts, which generate their web pages. I was hoping that instead of
actually incorporating other code into mine. I could use some Perl call to
inact that script, under certain conditions, and then place the OUTPUT of
that script into a variable in MY script and spit it out when MY script is
browsed to. So the user never sees the other script. I guess I would
essentially like to turn a stand alone Perl file into a function. Can this
be done? My hope is to MINIMIZE the code re-writing I have to do in the
script I did not write.
Thanks Lots
