RE: Retrieving the date of processing

    -----Original Message-----
    From: Daniel Bibbens 
    I wrote a Perl script to produce date information in the 
    form of an XML document (see: 
    http://xobjex.com/cgi-bin/date.pl). I use:
    
    <xsl:variable
      name="date" 
      select="document('http://xobjex.com/cgi-bin/date.pl')/date"/>
    
    whenever I need a date/time stamp. I will post the source 
    (~40 lines) upon request.


If that was file:///dir/date.pl then it wouldn't require
a server?

Are there security implications if its just a file?
I.e. Seemingly I could run any file that way which
could pose problems?
