SHTML or not, you cannot execute SSI commands on CGI generated pages (add, modify, and search pages). Go to the resource center and use the WebAdverts FAQ as an example of how to execute another CGI program from CGI.

well it wouldn't do that if you used backticks instead of quotes, it should look like this
Code:
sub insertcounter
# -------------------------- INSERT COUNTER-------------------
$banner = `/your/full/path/to/your/counter.cgi`;
return $counter;

}

If you have a windows nt host, it should be

Code:
sub insertcounter
# -------------------------- INSERT COUNTER-------------------
$banner = `perl C:/your/full/path/to/your/counter.cgi`;
return $counter;

}

Then in the globals section in site_html_templates.pl, put counter=> \&insertcounter,
