Multifarious Monks,

My in-house search engine returns result links like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/my_highlighter_script.pl?url=url_to_retrieved_file/file_name.htm&keyword=my_keyword

my_highlighter_script.pl gets the file, scans it for the keyword, and inserts markup to highlight the word, and outputs the file line by line. Works like a charm for html files.

But - now I have some shtml files to deal with. Clearly, having my_highlighter_script.pl output the file line by line is going to circumvent the SSI.

How can I dynamically alter the contents of an shtml file and still get the SSI functionality?

Thanks
