Hello All-
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
