Unfortunately my cgi is perl, and its the result of several hundred hours of work, so I can't really convert to php, it might be easier to just reimplement the functions of Drupal that I need myself in perl! :) But I really do like the design of Drupal, from what I have learned so far. Maybe I will write a module that can do what I need, if noone else has.. -Aaron

If it's written in PHP, you could consider publishing it using the PHP Filter. It will execute the php embedded in a node. You'd still have to mod it so the "clicks" worked out right, but it might be doable. Much depends on the nature of the code you're executing.

Hello,
I apologize for asking what may be a dump question or one that has been answered before, i have searched the archive and the web for an answer but maybe i am looking for the wrong terms, i can't find what I'm trying to figure out.
I have written a cgi that generates html. I would very much like to make this cgi be a node in drupal, or if thats not possible maybe a "block"? I just would like to have my cgi generate the center of the home page with drupal blocks around it, and then any click on the drupal blocks replaces my cgi content with whatever would normally be there, and any clicks in my cgi remain in that area of the screen. Normally I would use a frame but everything I find about frames and drupal says "Dont Do It".
Am I missing something terribly obvious, or is this impossible, or am I just slow today?
Thanks for any advice -Aaron
