Poss. not the best person to answer this.. but I'll take a shot..
Can you not limit your perl-script to a single folder, so that you can set:
Alias /scripts/ "/path/to/scripts/"
<Location "/scripts">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler My::Site
PerlSendHeader On
</Location>
========
The way I figure this, is that https://mysite.com/scripts/* act the same way
as everything used to, and you can load your images from
https://mysite.com/images/* without complaints about crossing the
secure/nonsecure boundry...
Also, don't know about this, but would be curious to know, if you have a
whole site set up to use mod_perl, as below, and you also have an alias set
up (like the apache default /icons/ directory) which takes precedence?
Hope this helps.. Someone who knows what there talking about, please
correct me where I'm wrong! ;-)
