The first one is included as /cgi-bin/wserver1.pl, but also as a sub-entry
under /cgi-bin/wserver1.pl?query=journals&results=0. You can choose not to
see the sub-entries by setting the REQARGSFLOOR sufficiently high, or be
specifying ARGSEXCLUDE * .

The second one can only occur if the person's browser has sent you that URL.
Normally for an <a href="/abc.html#....">, the browser won't even send you
the bit after the #, so it shouldn't get in the logfile. Maybe someone has
got a broken link using %23 in place of # ?

Are these entries in your logfile, or are they translated by analog? If
they're in your logfile, then it's really a server question. How does your
server respond when that file is requested?

You could do this with FILEEXCLUDE or FILEALIAS respectively.
