	From the Apache-FAQ:

17. How can I have my script output parsed?

     So you want to include SSI directives in the output from your CGI
     script, but can't figure out how to do it? The short answer is "you
     can't." This is potentially a security liability and, more importantly,
     it can not be cleanly implemented under the current server API. The
     best workaround is for your script itself to do what the SSIs would be
     doing. After all, it's generating the rest of the content.

     This is a feature The Apache Group hopes to add in the next major
     release after 1.3.

The latest stable version of Apache is 1.3.6 -- maybe someday you can...

	There has been discussion of calling another CGI from inside a Minivend
page, I believe there is a solution.  I'd recommend looking at the mailing
list archives.
