Yep! Only it takes a little more effort than the
change shown in the previous question.
First, find the subroutine html_header which looks
like:
sub html_header {
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>Countdown to: $date_term</title>
</head>\n";
print "<body><center><h1>Countdown to: $date_term</h1>\n";
print "<hr>\n";
}
Now, change this to:
sub html_header {
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
}
This gets rid of all of the html, body, head,
center, and header tags. Now you will need to do a
similar thing to the html_trailer subroutine. Change
it from:
sub html_trailer {
print "<hr>\n";
print "It is currently $current_date\n";
print "</center>\n";
print "</body></html>\n";
}
To contain no statements, like:
sub html_trailer {
}
Now, all that the sript will output is the
countdown time However, each time amount (year,
month, etc.) will be separated by <br> tags. To
change this, find the proper_english subroutine, and
change all of the <br> references to ",
" (without the quotes).
Now, all that is left is in-lining this into your
web page. This requires the use of Server Side
Includes. If you can use them, you will probably have
to rename your file from filename.html to
filename.shtml so the server knows to parse the file.
Then include a reference like the following for your
countdown to appear:
<!--#exec cgi="/url/path/to/countdown.pl"-->
And it's as easy at that!
