Jamie Krasnoo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said something to this effect on 02/26/2001:
 I'm not quite sure how this works, and maybe I missed it in the Eagle book.
 I have a handler set in httpd.conf like this:
 
 Location /
   Set-Handler perl-script
   PerlHandler app::main
 /Location
 
 Now this works great when I want to go to the first page of the server.
 However if I try to go to a static page, that page gets intercepted and the
 app::main goes in to action. The handler doesn't intercept any of the other
 set locations. Why is it intercepting static pages? Is it a standard rule
 that a handler for Location / is never set?

Another option, besides a LocationMatch or Files section, is to
return DECLINED in your handler:

return DECLINED unless ($r-content_type eq 'text/html');

Now things like images, directories, etc will not be handled by
app::man.

if you set a handler for / it will handle every request that way.
you can either have all pages that are generated be /foo/ and set 
that as the location, or you can force all files with a certain
suffix to be handled by mod_perl: Files ~ "*\.pl".

It sounds like you want this (or similar):

Files index.html
Set-Handler perl-script
PerlHandler app::main
/Files

Using Location / sets things for the entire server, because it means
"everything below /".

Found a way around it. I used LocationMatch "^/$". Now it does what I want
it to do.

Thanks for your help guys.
