Running perl script as call in ASP

Running perl script as call in ASP
I am using ASP for a web site. I wish to call db.cgi from within an ASP page.
I have used the usual <!--#include virtual="db/db.cgi?db=album" --> but ASP reports:
"The include file '/db/db.cgi?db=album' was not found. "
Does anyone know the correct way to call the script from within an ASP page? I have searched the forums without success.

Many thanks

I haven't used ASP files at all, but my first instinct when I see "file not found" is to try using the full URL or path, rather than a relative one.

Hi JPDeni.
I agree with you and I tried just that, but it made no difference. Unsure
I suspect that it is an ASP thing, and I am no expert on ASP (I just prefer to use it rather than Frames or plain HTML).
I will keep on trying to find an answer in ASP Groups, but they don't seem to know about Perl! Crazy
Thanks
