This is not quite true. Many robots, esp. those run by large search
engines will choke on redirect headers, both server-side (i.e. in your
.htaccess) and client-side (the infamous meta-tag). Esp. the
server-side redirects will not be apparent from your source window
review.
Url-rewriting (mod_rewrite) is one of the only ways (I know of) of
avoiding this pothole while still being able to do some sort of
(albeit local) redirection.

Now what your doing is way cool, but why ain't you using
Apache/mod_perl so as to stop wasting RAM and CPU capacity and do
away with cgi-bin and SSI all together ;-) ?
