What I mean is that you can't use SSI inside a cgi script, so for example you created a .shtml file with your SSI in it and then did....
Code:
open FILE, "/path/to/include.shtml" or die $!
print while (<FILE>);
close FILE;
...that wouldn't work because you are actually just printing the template through your perl script which will not be parsed by the SSI parser.
However the following would work:
Code:
open NEW, ">/path/to/www/new.shtml" or die $!;
print NEW qq|<!--#include virtual="/foo/bar.html"-->|;
close NEW;
...as you are just printing out the shtml file which will be visited directly as a .shtml.
So in other words, if your script is just generating the .shtml files as in example two above then it will work, however if you are doing something similar to example one, then it won't.
