If I understand this correctly, you have Perl programs in your area which produce HTML output. This HTML output is to be included into the pages held by the other group.

However, you don't want the other group to see the source. Additionally, group B has both HTML pages and CGI scripts. The SSI works find in the HTML pages but the CGI programs use HTML::Template and the SSI is not coming out.

If that is the case, you need to refer to my note above about the server not post processing CGI output. You need to re-write the CGI programs to implement post processing via SSI or you need to use mod perl and implement a filter chain and have SSI parsed at the end. This, of course, assumes you are using Apache.

If you don't want to touch their apps then mod perl is the way to go but it will add more overhead on you as well as increase the load on the server (increased process size etc).

If both group A and group B work for the same company why not produce a simple in-house API that group B must use on their scripts output? Ok this is a little bit of code mixing but you are doing it in a structured and formalised way (or will do if you get it right). Just a thought.
