Is it possible to use SSI calls within Perl CGI scripts? If so, how would I do that?

Thanks.

You can use PERL functions to do the most common SSI features

To include another script:

require "/path/to/anotherscript.pl";

To include a text file:

$file = "/path/to/textfile.txt";
open (F, $file);
while (<F>) { print }
close F;

I'm not sure how many other SSI functions there are, but I'm sure you can do them all with PERL code.

Cheers!
