Re^6: including the content of a .shtml file into a cgi page

i read the documentation. what i gathered from it is dat cgi::ssi is for writing include commands directly in the cgi script. but my aim is to output the results of a processed .shtml into the output of the cgi script.

CGI::SSI does that: `$ perl -e 'use CGI::SSI (autotie => "STDOUT"); print qq{<!--#echo var= +"DATE_LOCAL" -->\n}' Tue Jul 15 11:30:56 2008` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I can only get CGI::SSI to DWIM when it's supplied with an absolute HTTP URL to the SSI file. For some reason all the other methods listed in POD fail with [an error occurred while processing this directive]. YMMV `$shtml = $ssi->include(virtual => 'http://path/to.ssi');` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

an error occurred while processing this directive That's the point at which you look into Apache's error.log.	[reply]
