Prepend some custom string in front of the VarName: PerlSetVar MyApp_Var1 value1 PerlSetVar MyApp_Var2 value2 or, a real-life example out of Apache::AuthDBI http://search.cpan.org/author/ABH/Apache-DBI-0.89/AuthDBI.pm PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_data_source dbi:driver:dsn PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_username db_username PerlSetVar Auth_DBI_password db_password > Assume I can. How can I access those variables from my mod_perl > scripts? short: $r->dir_config('MyApp_Var1') long: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#PerlSetVar_and_PerlAddVar I would suggest that you spend some time RTFM either here: http://perl.apache.org and/or read some of those books: http://perl.apache.org/docs/offsite/books.html -- #!/usr/bin/perl for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}
