Getting a .cgi and a .pl together

[forces1]

Hi guys,
I have a maybe strange question. I have some experience with perl, but not with perl modules (the .pm-files). I have a script that searches my database (search.cgi) and I have a script that gets search results from other sites, but that is a perl-module.

Now I want the 2 results (from the search.cgi and the .pm-file) together in one file, so that I can show them on one page. To do that, I probably must make it the same type of file. My question is: is it better to transform the .cgi-file into a .pm, or to transform the .pm into a .cgi-file? And is it anyway possible?

Thanks a lot.

If they are written in perl there is no difference in the files just the extensions. You can rename a .pl file to .cgi and the website treats it just like a .pl file.

Yes, I understood that, but this isn't a .pl-file, but a .pm-file

oops.. sorry.. I must have read that wrong.

Can't you "require" or "use" the module in your search.cgi script?

@Travs69: Sorry, it was my fault, I've put pl in the topic-title in stead of pm.

@KevinADC: Thanks, I will try that. I'll keep you informed.
