in reply to CGI , HTML

Well, one thing you could do is load the page into a variable, and then regex yourself some special tags, like such:

$htmlsource =~ s/<title>/$title/g; But if you're getting a lot of page hits, that's a *bad* thing. Another cheap option is to include the page source within its own '.cgi' file and "requre" it.

#INSIDE HEADER.CGI
print "
      <html>
      <head>
      <title>$title</title>
      </head>
      </body>
      ";
}

#INSIDE INDEX.CGI
require "header.cgi";

this is a bit faster but a bit more cumbersome to incorporate page design into. Then there's always HTML::Template, but I dont have the permissions on my server to try it out. Anyhoo, tha'ts alls I gots.

    Actually, if you have permissions to put any perl script up on your web site, then you have permissions to put up Modules, just not in the "normal" place.

    Try this:
    * make a dir called myModules
    * make a dir called HTML inside it
    * copy Template.pm into it from CPAN (or do it the proper way and have the installer install into your myModules dir)
    * In your script do: 

    #
 use lib "myModules";  #this example uses a relative path
 use HTML::Template;

# do real stuff here
