Server Side Includes

[sgibbs]

I'm hoping to get some guidance about this -

I wrote a perl script which I want to execute from an html page.

I'm using this line:
<!--#exec cgi=&quot;/cgi-bin/headlines.pl&quot;-->

When I run the HTML, it just includes the command rather than executing it.

From my reading, it looks like I've missed something in the setup for running Server Side Includes (SSI).
Here are the details:
* I'm running Win NT4, sp 6, IIS 4
* the directories are flagged as execute.
* On the home directory tab, as well as the directories where the HTML & PL are located, the default application is enabled.
* On the configuration tab, &quot;.pl&quot; is associated with C:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s, which is indeed where Perl is installed (my other scripts run).

I just can't get the exec command to run.

Can anyone help, or point to documentation which is available?

Thanks,
sg
