Update:
I've created a .pl file that could possibly be for a homepage or other. The header, footer and UBB logins are accepted, like any other .pl file. All is left is to add content...Which I'm having a bit of a problem.
My understanding is that SSI will not work in Perl pages. I think javascript can and maybe &RequireCode? What are the codes I need to invoke UBBNews into my .pl file?
LK, Charles, Bookie...?
