If the content is sufficiently 'pseudo-dyanmic', that is, changes once in a while and not due to direct user interaction, you can have a cron job which rewrites the HTML file with the perl output in place every 5 minutes or so. But I'm guessing, based on your question, that you're using a server that you don't admin, and the admin refuses to turn on SSI. In this case, you are basically SOL for any other solution beyond running your own server, or asking the admin nicely to turn on SSI, or to allow embedded perl or any other such features.

Or schedule a job on a machine you do control that produces the HTML and then FTPs the files to the machine you don't control.	[reply]

about a million alternatives. Search for "template" on CPAN. We use Template.pm, but thats only one of thousands of choices -- Jay "Yohimbe" Thorne, alpha geek for UserFriendly	[reply]
