RE: Re: mod_perl and ssi: mixing it up

mod_include... that's what i meant. thanks.

also, although i've heard about this "output chaining" on mailing lists, i could not find any documentation on it just now to enhance my previous post with. am i correct that this is an Apache-2.0-only feature?

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it's possible, using mod_perl, in versions less than 2.0. Although you may be right that the support for module chaining (as opposed to stacked Perl handlers) comes with 2.0. There's a module called Apache::OutputChain, and there's another called Apache::Filter. Both do sort of the same thing: they let you chain together several modules, with each successive module being able to write to/affect STDOUT. The OP should probably take a look at these modules. In particular, Apache::Filter might work for him, in combination with Apache::SSI. Something like this in httpd.conf: `PerlModule Apache::Filter; <Files /foo> SetHandler perl-script PerlSetVar Filter On PerlHandler YourModule Apache::SSI </Files>` [download] In YourModule, just print to STDOUT (or $r->print, I suppose). This output will be filtered through Apache::SSI, which (I believe) should fill in the includes. Mind you, I've never done this myself.	[reply] [d/l]
