template call to other cgi
Hi,
Is it possible to call another cgi from WITHIN a template?

I have a little random phrase generator (rand_text.cgi) which uses server side includes. It is placed in my cgi-bin directory. But in a customised template the line:
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/rand_text.cgi"-->
has no effect. (Frankly I didn't think it would work!)
So how can I get a template to trigger and display the result of such a seperate cgi?
Thanks for all help on this
Charly
