Disabling TransHandler

[Stathy G. Touloumis]

Our sysadmin was attempting to disable a TransHandler for a virtual host using a directive that he used in the past. I wasn't aware of such a directive and was further stumped when I saw it :

PerlSetVar authsession false

He does not remember where he got this from but it seems to work. Any ideas as to why this would disable a TransHandler? Where does it come from and what mod_perl code uses it?

The only TransHandler on this site makes no references to using any configuration variables set this way.

Thanks,
