Sure you can. All you need to do is use the require function.
Try this:
require "data.cgi";
#now you can use all the variables from data.cgi ----------------------------------------

If you're depending your whole site on the data.cgi, then you can add more security stuff to make sure it's running smoothly.
require "data.cgi" or &error("Data File is missing!","Error"
;
sub error {
my($error, $title) = @_;
print "Error: $error<BR>";
exit;
}
You don't have to but hey, take advantage of it

Oh by the way, anybody know why i'm getting those "stars" automatically without anyone clicking on it? That happened last post, too. Don't worry, it's not counted. ----------------------------------------

I forgot to mention one thing. Open up the data.cgi and add this line at the very end of the script:
#add this to the end of script..
1;
#end of code
Do not delete that 1 and try again.

No good, it still just adds the origional cgi script to the one with the require code in it. check for yourself. I don't want it to run yahtzee.cgi again, but I do want roll.cgi to be able to use variables and subroutines from yahtzee.cgi.

Seeing as you are using a HTML form why dont you save results in hidden inputs, then just parse <STDIN> at the beginning of your script.
You could contain all of your code in one script, read this section on stars.com for a better idea of maintaining state.

I found the problem. You need to add an exit function after the code Here's an example:
if ($FORM{'email'} eq "" {
print "error";
exit;
}
Yes, it's a bad example but I don't know how your subroutine looks like. If you could show me your code, then i'll show you where to add the exit function. ----------------------------------------
