Hi, Max:
If the '$comp' in your script is the request component, I think you
can just use ErrorDocument in .htaccess or httpd.conf
ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/error.html
then setup dynamic content in error.html with Mason, i.e. parse
$ENV{REQUEST_URI} and then send different 404 message for requests
with different paths...
