I have a perl script that I would like to use for displaying our banners. This script is different from the mods that are offered here because we have looked into using a mod.
Any how, is there a way to execute this script from within a template? If not, are there any instructions for how I could use my perl script and get it to work within vb?
Thanks!

Never mind, I have figured it out. In the ACP under Manage Plugins, I added a custom plugin that has some php code that looks something like this:
$somevar = exec('../cgi-bin/someperlscript.pl');
I then can plug $somevar into my templates.
