I'll probably move this to the beginners-cgi list at Sean's suggestion.
But just to try and wrap up one specific point...

I've been following the information here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/cgi.html

and also looking at Includes here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html

These indicate that ExecCGI is separate from Includes on the Option's
directive.

I'll try switching on the Includes Option and using "<!--virtual", etc.

I've been googling cgi/apache/exec a fair bit over the last week and so
far I think Includes and ExecCGI are separate, though similar... though
I may well be entirely wrong, so apologies for my pig-headedness in
advance!!

Thanks
Simon

Actually, you are trying to.  #exec is an SSI directive.  I would do a
google 
search for server side includes and CGI for a tutorial on how to go
about 
this, if this is the way you want to go.  

However, if you are planning on building a dynamic website, using a
templating 
system such as Template Toolkit or HTML::Template is probably the better
way 
to go.
