Hi, i'm no programmer of perl, was i was informaed that perl can be used to view server side code like asp or php, just wondering if this was thru?
thanks for the answer
 
Not unless you somehow have access to the code on the server's side. Otherwise, when Perl tries to access the file, the server running it executes all the code (as if it were a program), and merely sends you what the program printed as its output (i.e. the HTML codes you see when you View Source the page)
