# Apache::FakeSSI(3pm)

Implement Server Side Includes in Pure-Perl

## NAME

Apache::FakeSSI - Implement Server Side Includes in Pure-Perl

## SYNOPSIS

In httpd.conf:

```
    <Files *.phtml>  # or whatever
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::FakeSSI
    </Files>
```

You must compile mod\_perl with PERL\_METHOD\_HANDLERS=1 (or EVERYTHING=1) to use Apache::FakeSSI.

## DESCRIPTION

Apache::FakeSSI is a subclass of Apache::SSI.  The difference between the two is that Apache::SSI uses full-blown Apache subrequests to implement server-side includes, whereas Apache::FakeSSI uses pure-perl.  This allows the output of Apache::FakeSSI to pass through the regular Perl STDOUT, which means it may be filtered using modules like Apache::Filter.

Please see the Apache::SSI docs for a complete explanation of its functionality, or the Apache::Filter docs for more information on filtering the output of one module through another.
