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 docu-
       mentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html .

       o config
       o echo
	   This directive is not fully supported in current version.

       o exec
       o fsize
       o flastmod
       o include
       o printenv
       o set
	   This directive is not supported in current version.

       o perl
	   This directive is not supported in current version.

       o if
       o elif
       o else
       o 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.
