Syntax::SSI(3pm)

💖 Syntax::SSI — no wait, hi bestie, it's Embperl::Syntax::SSI 💖

okay so like. this is a Perl module, it's Embperl::Syntax::SSI, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, manual page 3pm. she's giving "let Embperl speak SSI" energy and honestly? iconic. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so here's the vibe, literally verbatim:

[$ syntax SSI $]

DATE_GMT:       <!-- #echo  var='DATE_GMT' -->
DATE_LOCAL:    <!-- #echo  var='DATE_LOCAL' -->
DOCUMENT_NAME: <!-- #echo  var='DOCUMENT_NAME' -->
DOCUMENT_URI:  <!-- #echo  var='DOCUMENT_URI' -->
LAST_MODIFIED: <!-- #echo  var='LAST_MODIFIED' -->

like. look at her go. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

bestie. the whole point of this module is that it makes Embperl understand a whole lil family of SSI tags. and if you're sitting there like "okay but what do they do tho" — the actual answer is: go read Apache's mod_include (or Apache::SSI), because that's where the descriptions live. not here. this page is just the guest list. 😌

so without further ado, the tags Embperl will now understand:

• config
• echo
• exec
• fsize
• flastmod
• include
• printenv
• set
• if
• elif
• else
• endif
• syntax

and okay the last one deserves its own lil moment ⭐

🦋 syntax 🦋

so syntax SSI is non standard — like, not part of the standard SSI lineup, she's doing her own thing — and its whole job is letting you change the syntax once you're already inside SSI syntax. the way that works is it looks like this:

<!--#syntax type="Embperl" -->

periodt. that's the whole move. 💫
