NAME¶

CGI::SSI_Parser - Implement SSI for Perl CGI

SYNOPSIS¶

  use CGI::SSI_Parser;

  $CGI::SSI_Parser::recursive = 1;

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

DESCRIPTION¶

CGI::SSI_Parser is used in CGI scripts for parsing SSI 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). SSI Directives 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.

 

Outline Usage 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 STDOUT.

TO DO¶

Full implementation of all SSI directives. Optimize memory consumption.
