I have a number of files that I show on my homepage using server side includes. Is there a script to rotate these files based on the week of the year?:confused:

My web host allows CGI scripts (Pearl4). Is there a generic script that wiil rotate the files?

If you can't find something here:
Matt's Script Archive
Please don't recommend Matt's Scripts. Even Matt no longer recommends his scripts.

XSSI (eXtended Server Side Includes) support an if statement. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html. It's also way easy to do this with Perl and you can, if you like, include the output from a Perl script.

Why? If I had been recommending FORMMAIL, then maybe I would have understood -- but, if the rest of them are still available online (and they are) -- why not?
FormMail is also still available on his site, that doesn't make it a good choice. All the scripts still available at scriptarchive.com promote bad programming practices, are buggy, and insecure, and all atmitedly so by Matt.

Most of the scripts at Matt's Script Archive ceased to be updated after 1996...While the free code found at my web site has not evolved much in recent years, the general programming practices and standards of CGI programs have...The code you find at Matt's Script Archive is not representative of how even I would code these days
