Greetings Brothers-

I have a situation and I am a bit stumped. I am attempting to create a dynamic document with CGI.pm and a text file I am parsing for information. That isn't really the problem portion of this little tale, however. The problem arises when I attempt to use CGI.pm to include an SSI directive in the html.

As you well imagine, this doesn't work. I haven't figured a way around this and I haven't found anything in CGI.pm which will work in incorporating SSI into html (arguably this is impossible with my setup because .html files do not utilize mod_include on the server I am on, only .shtml files).

So what is the answer? How do I get CGI.pm to read my include files and throw the information into my resulting html page?

Should i just read the include files into a FH and spit them back onto the page or is there something in CGI.pm or CGI::SSI ( I haven't been able to get the SSI module to work!) that I a missing and which would perform precisely like I am needing?

Any suggestions ar much appretiated...
