in thread How do I get cgi scripts parsed for ssi by way of the .htaccess file?

I tried CGI::SSI, but when I do an exec i get "An error has occured" or whatever. Then i tried an include virtual and I got the source code of the script (dont ask me how that happened). the script is chmodded 755, all the paths are right, so I dunno what's wrong...

    You may need   Option +Includes in your .htaccess . Then,   <!--#exec cmd="./foo.pl"--> will work. CGI-style exec is left as an exercise (it's there in the Apache docs).

    It probably would be helpful to post the code that you are working with so that we can find what errors you might have.

      The code in my script for using CGI::SSI is: use CGI::SSI (autotie => STDOUT); # to tie the ssi parsing to STDOUT and the actual ssi directive: <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/ads/ads.cgi" -->
