The documentation for configuring mod_perl at
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html suggests having
"PerlSendHeader On" inside the "Location /perl" directive, and then to
add a "Files " directive to disable PerlSendHeader for NPH scripts.
Which section you refer to? I can only see nph mentioned in:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#E_lt_LocationE_gt__Configuration
saying:
PerlSendHeader On tells the server to send an HTTP headers to the
browser on every script invocation. You will want to turn this off
for nph (non-parsed-headers) scripts.
it doesn't say anything about files.
This caused a bit of a problem, apparently caused by the fact that
Location is merged AFTER Files, and overrides the former if the NPH is
under the specified directory, effectively cancelling it out.
right,
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#How_Directory__Location_and_Files_Sections_are_Merged
The best ways to fix this that I came up with are either to:
A) have a seperate Location aliased to the same physical location,
without the PerlSendHeader On directive. This makes the Files
directive unneccessary.
B) Remove the PerlSendHeader directive from the Location block
completely, and instead add a Directory block for the location being
Aliased (e.g. /usr/local/apache/) with PerlSendHeader set in that.
Then the Files directive will correctly override PerlSendHeader and
NPH scripts function correctly.
It's entirely possible (and even likely) that I missed something
obvious and/or made some dumb error, so if there's a cleaner or more
efficient way, or something I need to do to make the documented way
work right, I'd be grateful for the info.
Patches to improve the explanation(s) will be gladly accepted.
