You should have a look at plugins/typeless_uri. Typeless URIs are a

Well, it appears that my problem cannot be solved - you've added an
error message now stating that I cannot do what I want, and
unfortunately typeless_uri doesn't solve my problem as well.

Nothing "cannot be solved" - it's just software, and it seems you've uncovered a bug in uri_to_file that needs fixed anyway.

So a few questions remain:

* Are the plugins included with AxKit2 meant as examples only to be
modified by the end user, or are they intended as end-user code? If I
modify a plugin, won't the modifications be overwritten by later
updates?

It's a bit of both. I suggest if you're modifying then first copy somewhere else and set PluginDir to the new path, or rename the plugin - the names don't mean anything.

* I've now started writing my own modules that replace the default
plugins. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to let my plugins coexist
with the default plugins. Is this a good thing?

I don't understand why not. Rename or set PluginDir to a new path. Hmm, thinking about it there may be another bug there if you have two different plugins called uri_to_file because the compiler doesn't add the PluginDir to the generated name. That's a bug but an easy one to fix.

* Or would I be better of choosing another server? I surely miss the
flexibility of AxKit1 I'm sorry to say.

You're being a big help in finding the areas of weakness of AxKit2, but you have to weigh that against the fact that you're not playing - you're trying to build something real. Only you can answer that question. Ultimately I think AxKit2 will be an easier deployment for your needs, but maybe you didn't have any issues with mod_perl that way.
