Re: SSI Emulation Library

Three points, after a quick scan through your code:

Using $^O =~ /win/ to detect Windows systems will fail to detect 'MSWin32' as a Windows system, and will falsely detect 'Darwin'. This was an issue for the CGI module on p5p recently; the recommended solution was $^O =~ /^MSWin/i.

Removing a trailing slash from a path can be done more easily with a regex than with substr:

$cwd = getcwd();
$path = $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'};
if ($^O =~ /^MSWin/i) {
  $cwd =~ s,\\$,,;
  $path =~ s,\\$,,;
} else {
  $cwd =~ s,/$,,;
  $path =~ s,/$,,;
}

However, / can be used as a directory separator in Perl on Windows, and there are other operating systems, besides Unix and Windows, and they don't all use slash or backslash as the directory separator. File::Spec would be a portable way of dealing with this issue.

Finally... Have you tested your code with HTML that contains multiple SSI directives on the same line?

First off, thanks for pointing out the /win/ thing. And about the fore- and backslashes, I only designed it for windows and *nix, but I'll look into that...and I thought the while loop would take care of multiple directives in one line...
