Hello wise ones, I have enabled my Apache server to use SSI with .shtml extensions and it works fine if I create ssi.html with the following code. 
<html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-12
+52">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>

<body>
<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->
</body>

</html>

What I want to do is to print the shtml in a cgi program but this code does not work. Could someone point me in the right direction please? Here is my cgi code: 
#!c:/Perl/bin/Perl.exe
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
print "Content-type: text/shtml\n\n";
&printtest();
sub printtest{
       print <<ENDHTML
<html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-12
+52">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>

<body>
<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->
</body>

</html>
ENDHTML
}
