Hy! A SSI-Question:

I have a CGI-Script for my Portal-Site (http://www.wazomba.ch). No I need to integrate the SSI-Call into that script to show the next events (by the way: is there an othe possibility to show only THE NEXT EVENT than the NEXT DAYS?).

So, what should I change in my SSI-Call in the CGI-Script?:

<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.pl?template=ssi.html&duration=2d"-->

Because that didn't work! Any idea?

It depends on the language the CGI script is written in. You'll have to use whatever method(s) are available in that language for loading other files.

SSI tags will not usually be parsed inside CGI scripts but depends on the way the server is set up.

Allright, thanks for your quick answer!

The CGI-Script is written in Perl. So maybe I have to call it in the Perl language. But isn't the SSI-Command a Perl-based thing too?

So I think I'll have to do a workaround. Perl is not my lanuage... ;-)

While SSI is usually part of Perl's installation, Perl scripts are not usually parsed for SSI tags which is the responsibility of the server set up.

Your server's set up may be able to be changed to parse Perl/CGI script output for SSI tags but you'll have to check with your host's support to see if it is possible on your server. Otherwise, you'll have to use a Perl function in the other script to capture CalendarScript's output and include it.
