Pulling a CGI script into an HTML page?

[victoryrun]

I have a webpage that is made up of tables. I have a CGI program (it's a picture posting program) which calls all files from a directory on my server and shows them in a page. Problem is, you have to click a link called www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/cgiprogram.pl to view these results (the photos). I want visitors to my website to be able to click the "photoalbum.html" link I have in my regular HTML and have the current results of that "cgiprogram.pl" to append into this "photoalbum.html". I haven't the FOGGIEST on script writing, about all I can do is modify ones I find for free, and I get lucky to do most of those. So I thought maybe an ILAYER on my HTML page would allow a piece of code to draw that cgi file. Is this accomplishable? How do I go about doing it?

Thanks tons,
Ramsey

To use the AddType [httpd.apache.org] directive in a .htaccess file you need to have at least AllowOverride [httpd.apache.org] FileInfo privileges. If you don´t have sufficient privileges Apache [httpd.apache.org] will just silently ignore your settings in the .htaccess file. This will be the case even if mod_include [httpd.apache.org] is configured to handle .shtml files.

Sorry to be off topic. Andreas, do your have your skin configured to make all those links automatically?

<added>Just wondering, since you've been ripping those links off pretty fast :))</added>

Yes, I do. It will convert §mysql-functions§, php-functions(), /apache-directives/, %perl-functions% and some others like Perl [perl.com] MySQL [mysql.com] HTML4 [w3.org] CSS2 [w3.org] If I have the time I´d like to do HTML elements, CSS [w3.org] properties and RFCs as well.

Slick :)

It saves some time and I was tired of copying and pasting the same links time and again. It is done by the proxy server I posted here. It takes the posted data, decodes it, does the substitutions, encodes it again and sends it off. The /HTTP::Message/ class is even nice enough to correct the Content-Lenght field of the request header for me.
