Well, then I don't get it. If it's not passiable to do, then why didn't someone just say that. All I asked is if I can run a cgi script from an html page. thats all I wanted to to know. I thought if you can run or load html from perl scripts why can't you do it the other way around. If it can't be done, then it can't be gone. Thats all I was asking. Thanks
