Re: Re: perl fool - inserting text into html doc

Thanks a lot everyone, this has been really helpful. Answered all my questions. Now I've got a new one =)

Tachyon mentioned installing modules locally - I tried that by copying the Template.pm file to my cgi-bin directory and telling it to use Template.pm, but it kept telling me it couldnt find it. Is there a special syntax for using local modules?

have you tried `use ./Template.pm;` [download] Some modules also require that you actually install them, as opposed to just point at them, although I believe HTML::Template can simply be run this way. Err.. nevermind what I said. Now that I look closely at your post I realize that you probably have shell access and can just install the module locally (see below). Which is what you SHOULD do. I tend to forget that since my website doesn't allow telnet or ssh.	[reply] [d/l]

ITYM `use lib "/my/lib/dir"; use Template;`. See also `perldoc perlmodinstall` and `perldoc -q 'my own module'` for more details.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
