Hello,
While I am not new to Perl, I am completely new to mod_perl.
check out the resources at http://perl.apache.org/ - there's lots of good information there :)
sub handler { my $r = shift; return OK; } 1;
And not matter what I always get a 404 with the following in the log:
[Tue Jul 29 03:27:27 2003] [error] [client 10.0.0.1] File does not exist: /
the translation phase is there to map the URI to a filename. by returning OK, you're telling Apache that you've done the translation (that is, you have set $r->filename to something useful). since you didn't set $r->filename, apache is returning 404, since it can't serve the value of $r->filename.
so, the general rule for PerlTransHandlers is to return DECLINED unless you set $r->filename.
chapter 12 in the mod_perl Developer's Cookbook deals specifically with the PerlTransHandler and is as good a place to start learning as any.
