I think you misunderstood my problem. Say I have a file of nicely formated database. I want to display this file on an HTML table cell. But I don't want to work with the HTML everytime I update this database. I want the CONTENT of that cell to be generated from the file using perl or whatever. more detail: I have a file of (each line being) quotes. I want to make a quote of the day webpage, which randomly pick a quote and display it in a table cell. but I don't want to dynamically generate the REST of the page which is static. Is there a way I can put some perl code in an HTML tags? like: <td><!--some call to a perl cgi program that will generate the content of this cell...--></td> or any otherway to do what I proposed?
