I could be wrong, but I doubt you can pass a Perl file handle to a C program that is not Perl aware (like Apache). > or to grab a given file from > disk?

What about an internal redirect? It won't expose where the door is and you can make it such that access to that URL is forbidden to any request not coming from your machine. But the best approach seems to convert your code into an Apache Authen or Authz handler to do all the book keeping. Then simply let Apache continue with the processing after that. You'd probably have to ditch Mason for that piece of the code, but it's pretty straight forward. -- Michael Peters Plus Three, LP
