IE vs NN4. SSI

  • Read up more on how to track down why IE6 suddenly broke.
  • Trying to decide how I want to do SSI in my Perl.
    • http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/CGI-SSI looks good, but overkill
    • Gonna check out http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html
  • Ack. I was looking at what it would take to do a quick-n-dirty file import. But the syntax of Perl is so terse that it's not obvious what's going on. I recognize bits and pieces, like I can see where they do the actual template substitution. I see the old TECO s/xxx/yyy/ substitution syntax. But it's not obvious how I stick my own text into the existing string. There seems to be a lot of implied stuff going on, about what string they're currently working on. I see where they read in the template file, but not how the substitution is being done on the variable holding the string they just read into.
  • Found some primers on Perl. The code I'm trying to change still doesn't make sense, but I'm making progress.
