Including SSI in a script

[Octavian Rasnita]

Hi all,

I want to make a Perl script that generates a web page and prints it on the
screen.
I want to include an SSI statement in that page.

If I print :

<!--#include virtual=/cgi-bin/counter.pl" -->

in the script file, this doesn't include the SSI in the page.

I don't want to create another static HTML page and to include the SSI in
it.

Is possible to include SSI statements in a script?

Im assuming you are using apache. mod_ssi is the apache handler that filters
files for #include directives in comments. mod_cgi is the apache handler
that knows how to execute your cgi program and collect its output to send to
a web browser.

Without getting too detailed, its kind of an either-or thing. mod_cgi does
not filter your program's output for #include directives in your programs
output, so at this point they are just simple html comments.
