I have a template thing going on but I need to include in the html template a cgi program for weather. In the program that calls for all the templates I have to call this weather.cgi and display on the html page, how can I do that? I know the way it's done now is wrong but someone could help me with that by looking at the code, I hope!. Thanks a lot!!!!

sub index
{
#&top_nav;
&weather;
&date;
#read in template page for INDEX.HTML#################################
+######
my $templateFileIndex="../../htdocs/temp_test/ia_index.html";
open(INFILE,"<$templateFileIndex");
my @templatePageIndex=<INFILE>;
close(INFILE);
#condense page array into one scalar variable
my $tIndex=join("",@templatePageIndex);

#search-and-replace on date, nav bar and variables
$tIndex=~s/%%INSERT DATE HERE%%/$liveDate/g;
#$tIndex=~s/%%BLURB%%/$blurb/g;
#$tIndex=~s/%%AGENT_NAME%%/$agent_name/g;
#$tIndex=~s/%%URL%%/$url/g;
$tIndex=~s/%%WEATHER%%/$weather/g;
$tIndex=~s/%%WEATHER2%%/$test/g;
#tIndex=~s/%%INSERT NAV HERE%%/$navPage/g;

#done, output page to browser
print $tIndex;
exit
}

sub weather
{
# read in footer template
$foot='weather/weather.cgi';
open(MYFOOT,"<$foot");
@footerPage=<MYFOOT>;
close(MYFOOT);
#condense page array into one scalar variable
$weather=join("",@footerPage);
$test="Test Variable";
}
