SSI stands for server-side includes. They are special tags, imbeded within HTML comment tags, which the server parses as it is serving the page. CGI is a method for running arbitrary scripts written in a specific language automatically based on the file part of the URL. Most common scripting languages such as PERL and PHP can be run by Apache in two ways: via the CGI (common gateway interface), or as internal Apache modules. Configuring Apache for CGI is not difficult, however installing mod_perl or mod_php can be tricky. So, to answer your question: you don't see the propper output because the server is not processing your perl script as you expect. You need to tell Apache to run perl scripts through the perl interpreter. Look in the manual for how to enable CGI. If you still have trouble, write back and I'll try and help. I just don't have all the stuff in front of me now. Hope this helps ...
