To tell you the truth, when I first thought about an SSI'd script bringing back a referer I didn't think it would work. But when you think about it, it's no different than a CGI form checking for referer.

In short, your answer is yes. Here is what I did.

HTML 

<!--#include virtual="../cgi-bin/stats/test.pl"-->

[download]
test.pl 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use CGI qw/:standard/;

print header;

print "your page is $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}";

Results 
your page is http://www.domain.com/cat/11/index.shtml
