Using CGI Includes - Is It Possible?

Is it possible to use a CGI include within Xoops? If so, how would you do that? I'm trying to take an old site which has a daily update via a cgi include and make it a XOOPS site. Any suggestions would be helpful!

By "CGI include", do you mean a Perl script? (Perl scripts typically use the extension .cgi, so often people refer to Perl as CGI, which isn't really accurate.)

The easiest method would be for the Perl script to store its results in a file, which a custom XOOPS block or module could read and display.

Automatically executing a Perl script via an HTTP request from a PHP script should be possible, but that gets tricky.
