RE: Executing cgi-script from minivend page

["Thompson-Jordan" <Thompson-Jordan@mindspring.com>]

Tough to do without frames.

Write Perl to suck in the UPS page. Then strip off the outer part of the
page, put your own code around it and output it.

Then give me a copy of it (my idea :-). I'd like to do the same thing and
would be willing to help.
