in reply to What is the best tool to embed perl in HTML?

I could not find an easy one line solution for embedding the output easily into html.

if your server supports php, you could do this:

Create a new text document-->Open it-->put this one line of code into it:

<? virtual("/cgi-bin/foldername/scriptname.cgi"); ?>

--> Save the file as "scrtest.php" (We sometimes need to use the "Double Quotes" to make sure your editor does not put a .txt or .doc on the end of the file extension)

Upload to webserver, then go to Internet Explorer Address bar --> www.yoursite.com/scrtest.php

If your thinkin What about the rest of my HTML, you could use this:

<html><body>
Your Html before the script output gets called

<? virtual("/cgi-bin/folder/scriptname.cgi"); ?>

Your HTML After the script output has been called</body></html>

(again it will have to be saved as a .php page. index.php if you want it as the default document in a folder (rename the old index.html to indexold.html; it may check for this file first when a page is not specified in a web address.)
