There are many ways. Here are a few: - A custom ErrorDocument pointing to a URL that your perl code handles. (The 404 approach you had in mind.) - A PerlTransHandler that checks for the existence of the directory and sets the handler as needed. (The built-in handler for static files is called default-handler.) - mod_rewrite can check for the existence of a file path and do an internal redirect if it isn't found. If you have a separate front-end proxy, mod_rewrite on the front-end is probably the best way to go. If you don't, a TransHandler is a good approach. The 404 is fine, but gets sticky because you have to handle real 404s too. - Perrin
