all of this makes me think that you're after things like $ENV{REMOTE_USER} and other CGI environment variables? in general, <Perl> sections within a httpd.conf are executed when Apache is started. that means that there is no request to associate with a client, so no $ENV{REMOTE_USER} or other things make any sense. that's also why you couldn't call $r->subprocess_env or $r->parsed_uri - there is no $r at config time. so, if it's these environment variables you're looking for, you'll need to take a step back and assess what you're really trying to do. if you're after other things - such as variables from /etc/profile - but can't access them in <Perl> sections that's a different issue, and something that I'd need to try and recall, as I thought they should be visible at that point. --Geoff -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
