ssi and perl/cgi script

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 02.2007

I have a perl/cgi polling script that works fine (returns results of survey) if I point to it directly in my cgi folder. However, when I put it on my .shtml homepage, using both “exec” and “include” tags the poll shows up on my homepage, but when I select a value in the poll and click the submit button, I get an error page.
I guess the results of my perl script are not being parsed by ssi? How do I make this happen?
any help appreciated

@retardauthorJul 03.2007 — "the page cannot be displayed" IE message.

BTW, are there any other ways to display a script inside a <td> cell on a .html or .shtml page when you have no control over the server config? My server is configured I believe to only parse .html files, not any scripts.


So far I've found two ways to get around this: using SSI tokens or via "javascript" src="****". Any others?

Success!
