SYNOPSIS

  use CGI::SSI_Parser;

$CGI::SSI_Parser::recursive = 1;

fssi($filename); sssi($string);

DESCRIPTION

CGI::SSI_Parser is used in \s-1CGI\s0 scripts for parsing \s-1SSI\s0 directives in files or string variables, and fully implements the functionality of apache's mod_include module.

It is an alternative to famous Apache::SSI modules, but it doesn't require mod_perl. This is an advantage to those who are using public hosting services. There is a disadvantage, however - the module consumes much memory, and I don't recommend using it on heavy-loaded sites (currently it's being used on a site with 10000 hits, and I consider this as a limit). I hope to get rid of this disadvantage by the time the release comes out (currently it's beta).

\$1

This module supports the same directives as mod_include. For methods listed below but not documented, please see mod_include's online documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html .

• config
• echo

This directive is not fully supported in current version.

• exec
• fsize
• flastmod
• include
• printenv
• set

This directive is not supported in current version.

• perl

This directive is not supported in current version.

• if
• elif
• else
• endif

These four directives are not supported in current version. First you need to load the CGI::SSI_Parser module:

use CGI::SSI_Parser;

You need to specify the following when processing of all nested directives is needed (default value - 0):

$CGI::SSI_Parser::recursive = 1;

To parse file or string you need to use:

fssi($filename); sssi($string);

The result is printed to \s-1STDOUT\s0.

TO DO

Full implementation of all \s-1SSI\s0 directives.

Optimize memory consumption.
