Re: SSI

[Erik Aase-Remedios <erik@fourfish.com>]

I found it best to create a module ssi.pm that I included in my CGI's and
it had a very simple interface ssi::parse($document).  You just called
this whenever you wanted SSI to happen.

I never got it nice enough to deal with putting it on CPAN, but it worked
pretty well.  It's at http://fourfish.com/ssi.pm (I won't support it ;-)=.
