I have a file called whatever.pl In this file there is the following subroutine: 

sub banner_rotator
 {

$banner = "";

$link_image = "1";        # 1 = YES; 0 = NO

srand(time ^ $$);
$num = rand(@images); # Pick a Random Number

# Print Out Random Filename and Base Directory
if ($link_image eq '1' && $urls[$num] ne "") {
   $banner .= "<a href=\"$urls[$num]\" target=\"_blank\">";
}

$banner .=  "<img src=\"$basedir$images[$num]\"";


if ($border ne "") {
   $banner .= " border=$border";
}
if ($align ne "") {
   $banner .= " align=$align";
}
if ($alt[$num] ne "") {
   $banner .= " alt=\"$alt[$num]\"";
}
$banner .= ">";

if ($link_image eq '1' && $urls[$num] ne "") {
   $banner .= "</a>";
}

$banner .= "\n";

  }

I am trying to display a random banner in various html generated pages using ssi. Is there anyway to get this subroutine to display an image in my html generated pages using ssi, so that I don't have to using two separate banner rotators?! I am a newbie :)
