I'm forwarding your message to the list also, since it seems like something of
general interest. Hope that's okay.
I don't know of any solution that will take care of all files at once. I think
you'll have to either invent one, or deal with the seperate types of content
individually. I think both could be done.
If you have enough scripts & pages that you don't want to spend time putting a
small modification into all of them, then I don't know of any way to do what
you want to do except to actually re-request the document using LWP, and then
parse its output with Apache::SSI.
I don't think there's any way to catch the output of an actual CGI script
(mod_cgi) by redirecting STDOUT. You'd have to modify the script to parse its
own output, which could be a very small modification if you abstracted the code
into a module.
Come to think of it, it might be handy if a programmer could type
use Apache::SSI qw(parse_my_output);
at the top of a CGI script and the output would magically be parsed for SSI.
Hmmm...
I'm not promising anything right now though - the main obstacle is that
Apache::SSI is meant to run under mod_perl, and getting full functionality
under mod_cgi is no trivial task.
