I would like perl to process a php page before or after the php interpreter get's it hands on the file. I am trying to add a navbar to the PHP code. How would I go about doing that? Sam

The simple answer is wait for Apache 2.x, but since that's just barely alpha now, that's a looong [sic] while away. The issue in Apache 1.x is that you can use only one handler in any particular phase to process you're request. Thus, php or mod_perl (or cgi, depending on how you meant to invoke perl). But the real question is why? I have never done a navbar on a page (most of my web work is server app development, not pages), si I may be making some wrong assumptions here. If you are creating the page with a cgi or a mod-perl app, I would think you would be able to do the whole thing without ever using PHP. But, if what you are really doing is displaying a page with server-side components, PHP is a much better chice by far than cgi or mod-perl. What are you trying to do that php won't do for you? -- Rob
