Hi,

A recent set of patches sent to me for Apache::SSI left me wondering
about a couple of design issues, so I thought I'd turn to the list.

1) Is it preferred to use POSIX::strftime() for time formatting, or
   Date::Format::strftime()?  One solution would be to dynamically load one
   or the other module according to which one is available, but I'd rather
   not do that.

2) One can use if, elif, exec, perl, and probably other directives to
   bring Perl's capabilities into SSI.  Currently I don't check INCNOEXEC to
   make sure that the configuration allows such things (it's not even clear
   that this is the correct flag to check anyway).  Nor do I even check
   INCLUDES in the first place.  Do people care about these things?  They
   seem to me like a bit of a flimsy defense against an uncommon enemy, but
   perhaps people are relying on them.
