i was hoping to use Getopt::Long to pass some configuration options to a SSI using #exec cmd, however i had no such luck. what is the best method of passing into to an ssi script? i'd like to be able to let the end user select a date format by providing some info in their html. i had hoped that something like <!--#exec cmd="cgi-bin/date.cgi --style=5"--> or <!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/date.cgi?style=5"--> might be the answer, but neither seems to let me do what i am shooting for.
