I AM using CGI::SSI and I tried using cmd instead of cgi. I also tried using Option +Include in the .htaccess file.

update:

Also, i realized, im using an older version of CGI::SSI than the one you're pointing at...no, wait, im using a newer version, im using v.51, you're pointing me to v.01 the version i'm using DOES support exec, but it doesnt have the allow_exec variable in it.
