Running perl script

[jimberger]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a directive in apache that allows me to do the following:

I've got a directory

http://servername.com/location

Under location - there is a html page that is shown everytime a person visits this url. However, I want to tell apache to display this html page as normal but also run a perl script in the background - the script will basically just record the date and time of access so i can create some kind of access log for this page. Has apache the ability to do this?

Thanks for your help

Jim

if you have SSI (server side includes) and ExecCGI enabled for that directory you could use the following line in your html file, although you would probably have to rename it to .shtml
<!--#exec cgi=&quot;your script&quot; -->
