There's a webpage with background CGI available that has some sort of
search-enginge cpabilities.
Unfortuanetely is that CGI running on another platform and not written in
Perl, so that -although we of course contacted the people with the CGI we
want to use- there's no easy way to move the CGI to our new site.

Since it's quite easy to refer to CGIs that reside on other sites we of
course could use its functionalty - but the returend web page would have
the wrong design...

So I'd like to know if there's some way to call that foreign CGI from
within a local CGI and modify its output before acutually returning the
displayable web page ?

Any hints are absolutely welcome ;-)

See the recent thread on "Generating an HTTP Request From a Script?". I
found Michael J. Stok's recent post most helpfull.
