Well, if you already have the page coded in Perl, why not just write those 5 lines in perl?! It's a straight up for loop basically and some print statements. You're not hitting a database or using anything remotely PHP-esque there. I'm not so sure you can just mix and match parsers. I recall years ago some talk of doing this, but I think it's just so rare and really impractical that it's not worth setting up even if you can do it with some Apache magic. Stick to one pre-processor language. Either all PHP or all Perl but not both. Daevid. "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll use XML.'" Now they have two problems.
