A Call to Perl????

[Anon]

I have a Perl/Java based Stat program that I have been using on our "SHTML" portions of the site. In "SHTML" I simple do an SSI and it prints a small comment to the page, and then does it's "Stat thing" under the scenes.

When I try and include or require it in PHP, it tries to actually pull in the code of the Perl file, instead of running it and returning the result.

How can I get around this? It's driving me crazy.

Thanks,
Brian

Use passthru or exec (or something similar) to execute the perl or java program.

Try using:

virtual("$path");

where $path is the same path you'd normally use when calling it via SSI.
