perl pgm with perl

perl within perl

[patotoole]

Hello.
I'm a perl novice writign a routine to dynamicly
shoot out webpages. Since I know you cant parse
the output for SSI...my .cgi is doing SSI work
itself...

EXCEPT..what happens when I read a line of code
that says to execute another .cgi (say to run a counter routine)..

I want to be able to run this 2nd .cgi and
send its output and then contine on...

can you run a perl within a perl?

help! :)

Look up (Perl) "Use" or "Require".

$output = `$program_name $args`;
$output = qx¦$program_name $args¦;

$args is only needed if you pass data to the program.
