Yeah, I think I am finally getting this... so in my template.html file, I write this: ...<td><TMPL_VAR NAME="QOD"></td>*
and in a perl script, (I am not using sql, in fact, I am just reading from a text file) I read from the file, assign the proper html tag value* to a variable $quote_of_the_day* and then I use the line: my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => "tempalte.html"); to load the template hteml file* and do a $template->param(QUD => $quote_of_the_day)* and finally output with return $template->output();* are the points marked by (*) above correct? okay...here is another point...say this is my main page, I want the user to c it when it browses to http://localhost/ if I am using an Apache2 for win32 server...is it possible for the server to call my perl script when the user browses to http://localhost/ (no localhost of course) ... can u see what my problem is? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
