[Xitami] perlssi not passing args?

I have an EXE CGI on an html page run as an iframe.  This isn't very
effecient so I wanted to do it as an EXEC CGI but for some reason my
arguments aren't making it to the CGI.  I'm not familiar enough with perl to
tell exactly what it's doing but I do know it has code to pass args to the
QUERY_STRING environment variable, but in my EXE the variable is blank (I
have modified my EXE code to debug).  This is the syntax in my shtml file:

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/GSEcntr.exe?code=default"-->

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I need to change or
reconfigure?  SSI and perlssi are working enough that they do run the
program but it never gets the arguments.  It worked fine as an iframe (slow
of course) so I know Xitami has no problems passing the arguments to the
program.  I can only assume the problem is in perlssi.
