I wrote a module I call 'Text::SSITemplate' to get around the fact that mod_include (or whatever you use to parse your SSIs) never sees the output of a CGI program. This is mostly an implementation of Apache's mod_include without 'exec':

SSITemplates.tar.gz

The tarball includes pod documentation, an example cgi, example templates, and the SSITemplate library. I'd be really interested to hear what folks think of this (and whether I should put it on the CPAN).

This does not require mod_perl, but if you run mod_perl there is an Apache::SSI on the CPAN that you may want to look at.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
