I feared as much. The problem being that, (thankfully) I am leaving this position shortly, but am unlikely to be replaced with someone that knows anything about perl, and there is no one else in this small company that does know any perl now.

I would much rather leave things as simple as possible for the not so technically minded. i.e. editing the file to be included shouldn't be too much of a problem for them, but editing the perl script would be.

I think that I would be best off to open the files to be included in the script read in the entire contents and print it back out in the same place as they would be if they were using the ssi.
Just wanted to check that there was no other SSI way to do this.

Thanks, Gerard.
