I think you can (should) use `include virtual` instead of `exec cgi`... From the apache mod_include docs: `If the specified URL is a CGI program, the program will be executed an +d its output inserted in place of the directive in the parsed file. Y +ou may include a query string in a CGI url: <!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/example.cgi?argument=value" --> include virtual should be used in preference to exec cgi to include th +e output of CGI programs into an HTML document.` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi. I can't get it to work yet. For the SSI I am using `<!--#include virtual="day.pl?show=all" -->` Inside my day.pl script (it's loading without error now, but it's loading the main script, it's not catching on the param "show". `my $show = url_param("show"); my $show1 = param("show"); . . if ($show ne "all" \|\| $show1 ne "all") {` [download] I did show and show1, incase it wasn't passing as a URL param. Neither of them catch. Any idea why?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

To be able to answer your question, we need to see more of your CGI-program. CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]

Maybe `<!--#include virtual="day.pl?view=all"-->` [download] ?	[reply] [d/l]

To get more about what your server gives/takes as parameters ; which parameters you can use through $ENV and param as shown above you can use this little perl script. `#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; while (($key, $val) = each %ENV) { print "$key = $val<BR>\n"; }` [download] Enjoy ;)	[reply] [d/l]
