Ok, I better explain exactly what I'm doing. I have a template-based website maintenance system. It stores the contents of a web page in text files, which allows the user to update a text file and click a generate button to make it into a web page. The system is a bit more complex than that, but that describes the function in a nutshell. The problem comes in when the text file that holds the menu is changed. The user would then have to click the generate button on each page. What I want to do is make a script that could run all of the scripts so the user didn't have to do that. The script would simply have to call each CGI script like this:

perl update.cgi?action=generate

to cause the scripts to generate the pages. Speed isn't so much of a problem because very few people would be updating the site. I hope that clarifies some things. If there are other issues I should clarify, please just let me know. Thanks!
