For the record Apache::ProxyRewrite is a mod_perl solution, and it would probably be extremely quick to port it to mp2. At minimum, it might be a good place to start for your custom handler.

I think it's natural to wonder why you aren't using tools like mod_proxy and mod_rewrite that specifically handle this problem and are widely used. You didn't mention anything that those modules can't do in your previous message. Many of us run a slim proxy server in front of mod_perl, and avoid putting mod_perl into it so that we can avoid the extra memory it would consume. You have reasons for your choice, so that's fine, but the suggestions to consider using mod_proxy were good suggestions given the information you supplied. I don't really want to see blind advocacy of mod_perl. - Perrin
