I'm hacking up a bulletin board script and I want to use a SSI in part of the script. Is that possible? I can't rename the script forum.shtml cuz then the CGI wouldn't run it right? Here's the snippet of code I'd like to add the SSI to:

#############################################
# common HTML header for all pages
sub printHeader {
my($title) = @_;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<"EOF";
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>$title</TITLE>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
.headers {font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold;}
.items {font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9pt; font-weight:normal; text-decoration: none;}
.footer {font-family:verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:8pt; font-weight:bold;}
A {Color: #000000; text-decoration: none}
A:visited { color: purple; }
A:hover {Color: blue; text-decoration: none; }
.atop {Color: #000000; font-size: 70%; text-decoration: none;}
.atop:visited {color: #000000; }
-->
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#6699FF">
<table width="100%" BORDER=1 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>
<tr><td width="50%" ><span class="headers">$title</span></td><td width="50%" align="right"><!--# echo var="$DATE_LOCAL" --></td></tr>
</table>
<br>
EOF
}

#############################################

I still would like to be able to use SSI in a Perl script though. Has anyone else been able to???

Is this the correct syntax?:

<FORM NAME="forum" METHOD=POST ACTION="forum.pl" action="mailer.pl">

Ok I think I answered (or tried to) the question about the 2 actions in the foam CGI post (http://www.ozones.com/forum/Forum2/HTML/000073.html)

but in regards to the include statement, you need to escape the # sign (<!--\#include...) that should do it

Hmm, will that work, or will it just output the HTML and SSI as a comment? Seems to me it'd miss the part where the server got to process it. PERL has a date function you can access, the same one as the UNIX SSI one I belive. I'm not 100% on this, but it seems to me you should be able to just access it as the variable $DATE_LOCAL - the cgi script is already in the process of being processed, so to speak, the variable should be available. Check it out.

Your pal, -doc-<P>
