Call CGI script without SSI?

[DrCrazyDog]

Can I call a cgi script that returns html code within a page without using SSI? For example, I have a cgi script that simply prints a number that is my counter. My new host doesn't support SSI, so I need to call the cgi script without SSI. Can anyone help me?
Thanx

Well, you could cut up your page... everything before your counter put into header.txt. Everything after your counter, put into footer.txt.

Then, in your script:

# do counter code here...

open(HEADER,"header.txt"
@HEADER=<HEADER>;
close(HEADER);
open(FOOTER,&quot;footer.txt&quot;
@FOOTER=<FOOTER>;
close(FOOTER);

print &quot;Content-type: text/html\n\n&quot;;
print @HEADER;
print $count;
print @FOOTER;
