how about
=httpd.conf=========================================
<LocationMatch "^/path1">
SetEnv CFG /path/to/config1.conf
</LocationMatch>
<LocationMatch "^/path2">
SetEnv CFG /path/to/config2.conf
</LocationMatch>
====================================================
=the handler========================================
my %config;
sub handler {
my ($r)=@_;
my $cfg=$r->subprocess_env->{CFG} or
die "No config file configured for ".$r->uri;
$cfg=($config{$cfg}||=read_cfg $cfg);
...
}
====================================================
Thus, the global %config is used as a cache for the configurations of the
various URIs. The actual file is read only on the first request.
All the configurations can even be pre-populated at startup time.
Note however, that since the config is read only once it can be changed
only by starting up a new interpreter. If that's a problem you can
monitor file modification times for example. If I were you I'd use an
MMapDB object.
