Capturing output from CGI/Perl URL

[cprudhoe]

Hello,

I am building a website but don't pretend to be a real programmer. I can get around HTML, php, and some java, and have dabbled in some perl.

I am using an Affiliate script (encrypted perl in the cgi-bin) that will post the affiliate's name on a webpage. The script is:

<script src="//

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/uam/affinfo.cgi?id=1&tag=affname"></script>

I need to be able to capture the affiliate's name in an HTML input variable:

<input type="hidden" name="i_rep" value=" the CGI Script output "/>

Can someone show me how to do this?

Thank You
cprudhoe

Hi,
Have a look at 'cgi' module to retrieve the value.
