Really? Not just that it didn't even parse the file for SSI? That's how I'd read it. Change the script, make it exec "touch /tmp/foo" and then hit the page again. If /tmp/foo has been created, your script ran. I suspect, however, that it won't be. > I didn't think I needed to set up SSI because I'm using exec and I have > ExecCGI configured. I.e. I'm not using Include. You said: "<!--exec cgi="/cgi-bin/test.cgi" -->" What do you call that, if not a server-side CGI include? Why do you contend that you are not using includes? ExecCGI is an Apache option telling it that it may execute scripts as CGIs in a given location. Whereas <!--exec cgi="blah" --> is a SSI which executes a CGI script. Doubtless, with appalling performance, but that's not what you were asking about. This isn't in any way a mod_perl question, BTW. Also, you said that the file is being served from outside the Apache htdocs tree -- do you mean you access it with a file:// URL rather than a http:// URL pointing at the apache server? That will certainly prevent you from executing the include correctly! /joel
