in reply to Execute perl script from HTML

chromatic was right about using a server side include, but it's probably worth pointing out that the image trick that you were trying _will_ work - but only if the content that your script creates is a valid image type.

    That is, your script needs to return a header like "Content-Type: image/jpg" or "Content-Type: image/gif" instead of "Content-Type: text/html". You can do this pretty easily with CGI.pm in the header command.
