OK, I'm trying to learn a few things and have written a script to function
as a CGI that I want to print the time and date on a web page. The program
itself works and I have loaded it on my web site and can invoke it directly
using the URL (eg, www.mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/time.pl). Now here's the
dumb part and I feel lousy even having to ask it. What code do I put in a
web page to invoke the CGI? I've tried everything I can think of. I don't
want to have to click a link to make it work. I just want to have the date
appear on the page when it loads.

Thanks for your help.
