I understood that. You aren't saying *where* do you need it, that's why I've asked for more details. If you want to do that for mod_perl handlers, mod_perl sets $0 to the httpd path during the perl_startup (see mod_perl.c:713). Therefore you probably want to write a PerlChildInitHandler that overrides $0. If you want the same behavior for Registry scripts, which always set $0 to the location of the currently processed script you have to subclass Apache::RegistryNG and override the method set_script_name() which does exactly that. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
