Hi Greg,
Sorry I haven't had a lot of time to think about it.
Again, my recommendation would be to not try and match against file names
in the PerlTransHandler, and rather split up the code to work in different
phases of the request.
Like in the Eagle book, you might use a trans handler to strip the session
off anything, but add the session later in the request. That way you can
use httpd.conf <location>, <directory>, and <files> sections to control
what gets a session added. But that's what I did in Apache::AuthCookieURL
and I'm having a hard time thinking out of the 'box' before my coffee.
Maybe fine tuning is all you need.
There might also be mod_rewrite or other trans modules that end up
requesting a different file name, so you have to consider if you want your
modules to look at the original request, or after it's been rewritten by
something like mod_rewrite.
Of course, DirectoryIndex can still be a problem since it's handled in a
subrequest. So maybe working only if $r->is_initial_req is true is an
issue, too.

Hey Apache! Why the extra set of sub requests???
