include.... and perl

[ukndoit]

Is it possible to include a Perl script, like this:

<?php
include "something.cgi";
?>

I built my whole site in Perl, which includes dynamic webpage generation and MySQL.

I installed some software that is built in PHP.
I can edit the header.php file to use our site design. However, I don't want it to be static, and I don't know PHP enough to have it build the "look and feel" like I did in Perl.

I can also do the same thing with the footer.

When I do that it just prints my Perl code...

Is there a way to have it include it, but where Perl will execute it and just print the output from the script?

Thank you.

exec('something.cgi') might work.
