Hey,

Is there an equivalent of php includes that can be used in cgi files?

Thanks

I had a look, and I don't think it is.

If it is then it's a bit too much for what I want so may have to do it manually unless anyone has any good ideas?!

you could use the system command to run another script, other than that I don't know

Try this: obviously replace it with the file you want to include.

require "header.pl" || die("Cant find header.pl");

You may get an 'INC' error so in the case add this line to your script. This tells the require where to find the file.

use lib qw(pathtofile);

Ive just used this to create a 'template' system for one of my assignments.

Hope this helps, sorry for the slow response Ive only just found this site.
