I have a CGI Phone Directory Script written in Perl that I would love to be able to execute inside ezpub, but I do not see a way of running outside code in 3.4 of ezpub. Currently my site is running on ezp 2.2.9 and I would love move onto 3.4, but I need to be able to run this code. Currently it is running through a crude hack using the 2.2.x "static" option through sitemanager. I created a page in sitemanager made it static and basically it pulls the script through an iframe. I know this is bad form, but I didn't know how else to do it. Can somebody show me how to make this work in 3.4??
ThanksBrett
I love EZ 2.2.x, if only 3.x had the features of 2.2.x

Brett, you pretty well have two options. One, is to continue to use the hack you mentioned (an iframe) to present the content. Two, would be to re-write the directory using eZ publish. I recommend the second option as it will serve you well in the long run, but it may take a good bit of time if your application is feature-rich or complicated.

I have made a new section for the script and am using pagelayout.tpl override which contains an iframe to pull the script. Seems to work for now. Thanks anyways.
