<!--#exec (cmd|cgi)="..."-->

Note that <!--#exec cmd="..." --> is only supported if the package variable CGI::SSI::allow_exec has been set to true (and will fail in any case if your CGI is running in taint mode, as it should be!). Also, that <!--#exec cgi="..."--> is not currently supported.

<!--#config (errmsg|timefmt|sizefmt)="..."-->
