The script looks like it'll do it easily enough as it already has support for time zones. Just a matter of rearranging the output as you want it I guess.

If you have 200 pages, theres nothing to stop all of them calling the same script. So no, you dont need 200 copies of the perl script. :)

Ah I have it working now :D
Okay next I want to use this script to display the time ane date "00:00AM/PM on Monday" but I want to be able to add or subtract hours. This is for the time zones. So Singapore is 8 hours ahead so it would have to +8 in somewhere, and for New York -5. Could I use this script? Would it be easy to do that? and if I have 200 pages with this does that mean I would have to have 200 perl scripts or could I do something in the code that calls it to the webpage?

d'oh I thought it might be that but by the time I realised I was already in bed :D I'll test it now.
It's my perl test for the moment :) I think my robot txt is still telling the search engines to go away.

It does look like it's 'html' and not 'shtml' - well that's Machie's current home page with the clock code in it anyway - which would explain why the code isn't being called.
Not quite the 'holding page' I suggested way back - but I guess it's better than the hosts adverts...

Ok, somewhat easier if the script is working.
The page thats got the SSI on it, make sure the file extension is shtml instead of just html.

hm going to it directly it works fine. That's odd. I checked the error log again and it's not listing any error since 11. I added a font color to the body tag but I dont think that would make much difference.
The script is working right? Because it worked when I went directly, it's just this code on the index page isnt doing it's job :/
There are other scripts in the cgi-bin but not sure what they are. randhtml.cgi entropybanner.cgi cgiemail. I wonder if these are just default files.
Maybe I'll create something using the cPanel X. I'll try the counter.

You wont want to use ASP I can assure you. :)
Forget the SSI for the moment, try to get the script running by calling it directly from a browser, ie http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/textclock.cgi
And if it doesnt work, find the corresponding entry(s) in the error log and check its still the premature end of script headers one.
Out of ideas at the moment though. I've taken the code and tried it myself, it definitely works which suggests its some configuration issue. I'm assuming other cgi scripts run from the cgi-bin ok? You say you've chmod'ed the file to 755 so there isnt much left to check.

:( you were right about the path but still no luck. I then changed the code to call .pl instead of .cgi but it didnt work, so I tried changing them both to .cgi and that didnt work either >_< do'h okay I sent an email to their support so maybe they might be able to help. If not then umm I dunno, maybe I'll have to go php afterall. Or asp? Companies tend to use that instead, I wonder why?

If the dataflame server you're on has cpanel installed, you can find the correct path to perl under General Server Information. On mine its /usr/bin/perl
