What you want to do is to REPLACE your instance script with a handler. That
is easily accomplished with CGI::Application. In the message Benjamin
referenced, I posted an example of how to do this. In a nutshell, you need
to make two changes:
1. Add the following to your Application module:
package My::CGIApp::Module;
use base qw/CGI::Application/;
use Apache::Constants ':response';
sub handler ($$) {
my ($pkg, $r) = @_;
# Instantiate and run() your CGI::Application module
my $self = $pkg->new();
$self->run();
return OK;
}
This code is a replacement for the instance script.
2. Configure mod_perl to use your module by adding the following to the
".htaccess" file in the directory in which you want your application to run:
<Perl>
use My::CGIApp::Module;
</Perl>
PerlHandler My::CGIApp::Module->handler
These two changes cause your CGI::Application module to run as an Apache
handler directly, as opposed to a handler via Apache::Registry.
Warmest regards,
