Very Computer

I've got SSI working on my Linux box, but I've got a problem.
if I use <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/prog.cgi"--> everything
works fine.

But if I use <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/prog.cgi?[parameter]"-->
then I get the following error    invalid CGI ref
"/cgi-bin/prog.cgi?[parameter]"

I have used this form before under Windows with Xitami Web server and
all went well but Apache is reporting an error involved with the format
of
the SSI #exec directive.

If there is something I'm overlooking I'd appreciate advice or pointers
to FAQs
If this is normal for Apache then I'd appreciate to know that too as I
will not use this SSI form in the future.

TIA
