    In HTML (and SSI mimics HTML), quotes are not escaped with a slash, they're encoded as &quot;. Try

    <!--#perl sub="sub { print &quot;hello, world!&quot;; }"

    [download]

    Update: Removed the extra e from &quote;.

      Thanks for the advise... but still not work :(

        Do you get the same error, or something different? Do you know where SSI is documented so I can take a look?
[reply]
        It has been brought to my attention that it should be &quot;, not &quote;. silly me! I've fixed my original post.

    What does it say in the server's error_log?

        That means that Apache::SSI is not getting loaded or used. Try commenting out

        AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

        [download]

        (the non-Perl SSI) from your web server's configuration file and adding

        <Files *.shtml>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::SSI
</Files>

        [download]

        (the mod_perl SSI) in its place.
