Using SSI in .CGI

Hello, everyone.
A few days ago, I installed a CGI script called Award-It. I want to blend it into my design and to make that effect I decided to use SSI... now the thing is I don't know how to make .cgi extension to support SSI. I can't really type in the whole page because the file would become really huge...
What am I supposed to do? Is there a similar command that allows SSI in CGI?
Thank You
Boris

include virtual="x.cgi" should do the job.

or you could open the file and print the contents.

open(file,"file.txt");
@file = <file>;
close(file);

print @file;

You can turn the xbithack on in a .htaccess file in the current directory so that all output from CGI scripts will be parsed as SSI. This works on apache but I am not sure about others.

add this line to the .htaccess file of the directory in which your CGI scripts reside, or wherever you want this ability.

code:

XBitHack on
[/code]
