Dear Embperl fans,

After getting one web site settled out on Embperl, I graduated to
Embperl::Object for my main Canebas web site - Ooh, I like this!! :-)

A minor glitch that I couldn't find in listserv archives though.  Just
setting the EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE environmental variable in the Apache
configuration file seems to have no effect.  If I instead just use
_base.epl as my base object everything is happy as a clam, but it would
be nice to choose my own file name.  Is this just a bug on the "low
priority fix it" list or is the example in the Embperl documentation obsolete?

Thanks to Gerald and friends for such a cool toy! (err, tool :-)

Edouard :-)



P.S.  Just to lay out the parameters completely, the affected part of
httpd.conf is:

# Setup EmbPerl handler for Object oriented example for main page.
<Directory "/home/httpd/htdocs/prototype">
  PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE template.epl
        <FilesMatch ".*\.epl\.html$">  
                SetHandler perl-script 
                PerlHandler Embperl::Object 
                Options ExecCGI 
        </FilesMatch>  
        <FilesMatch ".*\.epl$">  
                Order allow,deny 
                Deny From all 
        </FilesMatch>  
</Directory>

and the entry in the Apache error log is:
