Hi I am trying to include a perl script within my shtml file. Unfortunately when I do my script doesnt seem to run but instead it just displays the content of the script.

The code I am using is as follows:

test.shtml:

<html>
<title> business home page </title>
<body>
</br>
<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" --> 
<br />
<!--#include virtual="hello.pl"-->
</body>
</html>

hello.pl:

#!C:/Sun/WebServer6.1/bin/https/perl/perl

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

print "Hello World!";

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Incase you all wanted to know the server I am using is Sun One WebServer 6.1 (OS = Windows XP). Thanks for your responses!

    The de facto standard SSI directive for executing dynamic content within an SSI page is

    <!--#exec cgi="hello.pl"-->

    That works with Apache mod_include and at least a few other web servers that support SSI. No idea if it will work on your platform, but give it a shot.
