There is such a thing as Perlscript. It's not widely used on the client side because in order to use it, the client must have a perl compiler installed on his/her computer. It is rather popular though for Apache, which has a module that allows ASP through Perlscript. Go to http://perlscripters.com , you'd be surprised at the amount of Perlscript resources there are out there.

Malte, yup forgot to tell that. If you were to use <script src=....></script> when you printed text you would need to use
document.write(TEXT HERE')

Without using SSI to include the CGI scripts you CAN embed Perl directly into the HTML document if your server/host supports EPerl (Embedded Perl). Contact your host to see if they support it. If not, send them to: http://www.engelschall.com/sw/eperl/

I dont see how <script src...

would work, unless the output of the cgi would be of the MIME type "text/javascript"

Later,

As Fairhousing was saying, you can use SSI. So you could put:

You could also try using
<script src="script.cgi"></script>.
