Hiya!

Here I thought my programming days were decades behind me, but I have need to do something on a web page that has me programming again.

I have a Perl script I'd like to have run from an HTML page. This is not in conjunction with a form or user input. I suspect there is a way to do this, but have no idea what it is.

Someone here found two methods elsewhere (http://www.webxpertz.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-710.html), but neither of those worked for me.

Help, please? Thanks!

You have a couple options. Apache's SSI (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/ssi.html#cgi), or AJAX (http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/default.asp).
