possible solution for "exec cgi SSI" in mod_perl

[Surat Singh Bhati <su...@indiamart.com>]

Hi,

I am using lots of exec cgi SSI in my site, all the 
CGI called using exec are written in perl.
<!--#exec cgi="standardcgi.cgi"-->

I want to take advantage of mod_perl for performance,
but as I know "exec" will run as mod_cgi , not as mod_perl.

Can I use <!--#include virtual="modperlscript.pl"--> ?
If above will run, will be run as a sub request.. ? 

Any other better solution to server the page included mod_perl scripts 
SSI in it, without running the subrequest/new process? 

Regards,

-Surat Singh Bhati

Here's another way around it. You could use HTML::Template in place of SSI.

If you build modperl with 'perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING=1' (or, at least
with 'PERL_SSI=1', then your server side includes will have an additional
option that looks like this:

  <!--#perl sub="DoSomething"-->

This will invoke routine 'DoSomething' when this page is expanded.
You'll need to pre-load your module with a PerlRequire or PerlModule
directive.

You could also use Apache::SSI as the handler to do the same type of
thing. Many details of how this works in the Eagle book.

One warning: mod_perl *must* be built statically for PerlSSI stuff to
work -- if you try to build it dynamically, the build tool prints a
warning that "PerlSSI disabled in DSO build", or something like that.

HTH,
