>Description:
Although I have
* perl working fine
* CGI scripts (written in perl) working fine
* SSI echo var working fine
and I believe I have
* configured srm.conf and access.conf correctly
the SSI exec cmd directives
<!--#exec cmd="DIR"-->
<!--#exec cmd="perl c:\htdocs\wfp\ssitest1.cgi"-->
<!--#exec cmd="/cgi-bin/ssitest1.cgi"-->
returns an error in the logs/error_log:
encountered error in GET_CHAR macro, mod_include.
[Mon Feb 16 12:00:17 1998] [error] execution failure for parameter "cmd"
to tag exec in file c:/htdocs/wfp/ssitest.shtml

>How-To-Repeat:
srm.conf:
=========
DocumentRoot "C:/htdocs"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/htdocs/cgi-bin/"
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
access.conf:
============
<Directory "C:/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/htdocs/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/htdocs/WFP">
AllowOverride All
Options All
</Directory>

============================
