Hi Paul, welcome back to quality regex handling...
IMHO you've got 2 options - do it the restrictive way:
<VirtualHost>
<Location /perl-scripts-in-this-dir>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlxxxxHandler My::Module
Or do it the easy/flexible way - have your module(s) decline URIs which
they don't want to handle:
sub handler {
my $r=shift;
$r->uri() =~/.app$/ or return Apache2::Const::DECLINED;
...code...
}
There might be another way, using Apache's built in filetype handlers
(as used for PHP etc), could be worth checking out if you have time.
hope it helps,
John

am a newbie with mod_perl really. Could do with a bit of setup help.
I have an application that I'm been building in Perl and it works fine
as a cgi and I want to convert it to using mod_perl. It's very
modularised so caching of perl modules in memory would be hugely helpful.
It's currently on my server (which hosts other apps), and I want all
(and only) files on the specific virtual host ending in ".app" (ie
like everything ending in .pl) to be handled by mod_perl.
