: so, the general rule for PerlTransHandlers is to return : DECLINED unless you : set $r->filename.
What I am trying to do is just test, to make sure it is working ok. So what I did is wrote the following snippit:
sub handler { my $r = shift; return DECLINED; }
That should still allow me to pull up my default content, correct? As of now it still gives me a 404 ..
make sure the request works without the PerlTransHandler installed first. if it does, then adding that routine should be ok.
don't forget, you can't just change handlers and expect them to work - because the code is loaded the first time it's seen and not on every request, you either need to install Apache::StatINC, Apache::Reload, set PerlFreshRestart On and restart the server or (simplest) fully shutdown and startup the server.
