@Michel, Thanks for the reply. As far as I know, Apache2::RequestRec is a module that provides several functions to manage the $request object provided by mod_perl (http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html). It's not really a handler, though most handlers use this module one way or another. I just want to use a different handler than usual, but from the same file, If that's possible.
@Nico Thanks for the reply. Deciding on a behavior based on $r->uri or $r->filename in the handler is what I was doing previously, but I'd love to have a solution based the config file instead of the handler itself, for robustness. I will have to stick to this solution if mod_perl doesn't let me provide the name of the handler, though. 2010/9/27 Nico Coetzee <nicc...@gmail.com> > I had a similar requirement.
