fuckin amazingly they work. counter works too. thanks to aero-soul, parahead, and co.

still going to have to edit up the template so it doesn't show literally everything like IP address and all.

it works.

<PerlCode>
use LWP::Simple;
$iSayCounter = get("http://SITE.COM/coranto/iSay_GetCommentCount.cgi?ID=$newsid");
</PerlCode>

<Field: iSayCounter>

if get( comes back with an error of 500, you can't use it with HTTPS

https causes a lot of errors, apparently
