I've made it part of an Apache::Filter list that also run's Apache::SSI so that any server side includes in the html file will also get run. There is also some mod_php code (a php require line that pulls in a different page graphic everytime they refresh the page) that I need to also 'run' as part of the web page.

You can't in apache 1.x.  In apache 2.x there is the ability to filter
content in this way, but the filtering done in 1.x by Apache::Filter is
really just at the mod_perl level so it can't deal with additional
apache modules.  The only way to actually get the PHP code to run is to
make a separate request with something like LWP back to the server to
run a PHP page, or maybe run it through the separate PHP executable with
a system call.
