Hey Torsten thanks for the reply but no that does not work either. I think the real problem I am facing revolves around the reasons why the directory /REST/ from my document root cannot be secured with a PerlAuthenHandler on its own. It does not matter if I set the Location as <Location /REST/> or <Location /> in the VirtualHost configuration the PerlAuthenHandler still kicks in for the root directory regardless. That is to say that http://rest.mydomain.com/REST/abc.html and http://rest.mydomain.com/abc.html are secured by the PerlAuthenHandler regardless of what I set the <Location> path to. This is the part that is puzzling me the most. I think if I solve that then the other stuff will just work. I am going to try removing the PerlAuthenHandler and simply secure the directory with a htpasswd thus taking mod_perl out of the picture. This will tell me if some Apache setting in the main server config is being inherited by my virtual host and stuffing things up and if it is a mod_perl problem. Any other suggestions would be appreciated :) Let ya know how I go.
