I'd love to hear more from others about this but I believe ScriptAliasing is
VERY MUCH ALIVE in mod_perl. I kept reading that you can't use ScriptAlias
with mod_perl. Fine. True. But I read that as a death sentence to having
pretty URL's with mod_perl. With that statement, it should say "To use
ScriptAliases with mod_perl, simply rename them to Alias."
This is what I put in my Apache 1.3.12 installation and mod_perl 1.22
httpd.conf file:
Alias /printer /www/circles_cgi/printenv.cgi
and it works! People need to know that you can get the same effect that a
ScriptAlias gives you with an a straight Alias, as long as you the script
called (printenv.cgi) is flagged as a mod_perl script under a <Files> tag or
<Location> tag.
How did I get this to work? Why hasn't anyone else figured this out? Am I
just preaching the obvious here? Sure seemed to me that any type of
"ScriptAlias" was DEAD under mod_perl.

Subject: Re: ScriptAlias hacking?
if i understand correctly, you should have in your httpd.conf something
like
<Location "/bar">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Your::Handler
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
then, in your module
package Your::Handler;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $path_info = $r->path_info;
...
}
1;
i'm fairly new to mod_perl, so pls correct/criticize if there's anything
wrong.
