=head1 DESCRIPTION

CGI::SSI is meant to be used as an easy way to filter shtml 
through CGI scripts in a loose imitation of Apache's mod_include. 
If you're using Apache, you may want to use either mod_include or 
the Apache::SSI module instead of CGI::SSI. Limitations in a CGI 
script's knowledge of how the server behaves make some SSI
directives impossible to imitate from a CGI script.

Most of the time, you'll simply want to filter shtml through STDOUT 
or some other open filehandle. C<autotie> is available for STDOUT, 
but in general, you'll want to tie other filehandles yourself:

    $ssi = tie(*FH, 'CGI::SSI', filehandle => 'FH');
    print FH $shtml;

Note that you'll need to pass the name of the filehandle to C<tie()> as 
a named parameter. Other named parameters are possible, as detailed 
below. These parameters are the same as those passed to the C<new()> 
method. However, C<new()> will not tie a filehandle for you.

CGI::SSI has it's own flavor of SSI. Test expressions are Perlish. 
You may create and use multiple CGI::SSI objects; they will not 
step on each others' variables.

Object-Oriented methods use the same general format so as to imitate 
SSI directives:

    <!--#include virtual="/foo/bar.footer" -->

  would be

    $ssi->include(virtual => '/foo/bar.footer');

likewise,

    <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/foo.cgi" -->

  would be

    $ssi->exec(cgi => '/cgi-bin/foo.cgi');

Usually, if there's no chance for ambiguity, the first argument may 
be left out:

    <!--#echo var="var_name" -->

  could be either

    $ssi->echo(var => 'var_name');

  or

    $ssi->echo('var_name');

Likewise,

    $ssi->set(var => $varname, value => $value)

  is the same as 

    $ssi->set($varname => $value)

=item $ssi->new([%args])

Creates a new CGI::SSI object. The following are valid (optional) arguments: 

 DOCUMENT_URI    => $doc_uri,
 DOCUMENT_NAME   => $doc_name,
 DOCUMENT_ROOT   => $doc_root,
 errmsg          => $oops,
 sizefmt         => ('bytes' || 'abbrev'),
 timefmt         => $time_fmt,
 MAX_RECURSIONS  => $default_100, # when to stop infinite loops w/ error msg
 COOKIE_JAR      => HTTP::Cookies->new,

=item $ssi->config($type, $arg)

$type is either 'sizefmt', 'timefmt', or 'errmsg'. $arg is similar to 
those of the SSI C<spec>, referenced below.

=item $ssi->set($varname => $value)

Sets variables internal to the CGI::SSI object. (Not to be confused 
with the normal variables your script uses!) These variables may be used 
in test expressions, and retreived using $ssi->echo($varname). These
variables also will not be available in external, included resources.

=item $ssi->echo($varname)

Returns the value of the variable named $varname. Such variables may 
be set manually using the C<set()> method. There are also several built-in 
variables:

 DOCUMENT_URI  - the URI of this document
 DOCUMENT_NAME - the name of the current document
 DATE_GMT      - the same as 'gmtime'
 DATE_LOCAL    - the same as 'localtime'
 LAST_MODIFIED - the last time this script was modified

=item $ssi->exec($type, $arg)

$type is either 'cmd' or 'cgi'. $arg is similar to the SSI C<spec> 
(see below).

=item $ssi->include($type, $arg)

Similar to C<exec>, but C<virtual> and C<file> are the two valid types.
SSI variables will not be available outside of your CGI::SSI object, 
regardless of whether the virtual resource is on the local system or
a remote system.

=item $ssi->flastmod($type, $filename)

Similar to C<include>.

=item $ssi->fsize($type, $filename)

Same as C<flastmod>.

=item $ssi->printenv

Returns the environment similar to Apache's mod_include.

=item $ssi->cookie_jar([$jar])

Returns the currently-used HTTP::Cookies object. You may optionally
pass in a new HTTP::Cookies object. The jar is used for web requests
in exec cgi and include virtual directives.

=head2 FLOW-CONTROL METHODS

The following methods may be used to test expressions. During a C<block> 
where the test $expr is false, nothing will be returned (or printed, 
if tied).

=over 4

=item $ssi->if($expr)

The expr can be anything Perl, but care should be taken. This causes 
problems:

 $ssi->set(varname => "foo");
 <!--#if expr="'\$varname' =~ /^foo$/" -->ok<!--#endif -->

The $varname is expanded as you would expect. (We escape it so as to use 
the C<$varname> within the CGI::SSI object, instead of that within our 
progam.) But the C<$/> inside the regex is also expanded. This is fixed 
by escaping the C<$>:

 <!--#if expr="'\$varname' =~ /^value\$/" -->ok<!--#endif -->

The expressions used in if and elif tags/calls are tricky due to
the number of escapes required. In some cases, you'll need to 
write C<\\\\> to mean C<\>. 

=item $ssi->elif($expr)

=item $ssi->else

=item $ssi->endif
