Third post. PLease help. PerlHandler configuration question.
I need to get this problem solved for a project I am working on. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -Todd -- Forwarded message -- I am servicing requests from a virtual document tree. Most of the time I want the request to be serviced by a PerlHandler module I wrote. However, if the requested filename is 'cgifile' I would rather have Apache::Registry handle the request, but since this is a virtual document tree the CGI program 'cgifile' is located in a real directory somewhere else. 1. How would I configure this behavior? 2. Would I have to locate 'cgifile' in the document tree or could it be located anywhere accessible by the httpd process? Thanks! -Todd

That only solves half the problem. Since it is a virtual directory, how will Apache::Registry know where 'cgifile' really exists so it can run it? For example: http://www.mydoamin.com/dirA/dirB/cgifile dirA and dirB don't really exist. If 'cgifile' is stored somewhere else how will Apache::Registry know where to find it?

Have you not just tried: Location ~ /cgifile$/ SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry /Location ? Just because it's in a virtual directory, it's a virtual URI/URL, etc., doesn't mean that Location isn't the correct directive. "Location" means a match on the URI requested by the web client. I just put a pattern match in there saying "if the requested URI ends with 'cgifile', then handle with Apache::Registry". This isn't a perfect location matching pattern, as this will work also on http://www.yourdomain.com/thisisnotacgifile but I can leave it to you to spruce it up. Maybe try Location ~ /.*\/cgifile$/ ? (I know that would work with Perl, but the Apache pattern matching engine might not work exactly the same in this circumstance.) If I misunderstood your problem, I'm sorry for not having read closer, confused you, etc. :-) Cheers, Richard Todd Chapman wrote: I need to get this problem solved for a project I am working on.

Re: Third post. PLease help. PerlHandler configuration question.
Thanks. It seems like I would want to write a PerlTransHandler. However I don't want to change the filename until after the authorization phase. Can I change the uri to filename mapping at the end of the authorization phase but before the content handler phase?

How would I configure this behavior? mod_rewrite, or write your own URL - file mapping utility that ties into an early request phase 2.

Either put it under your docroot or use the standard Alias stuff: Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/ See http://thingy.kcilink.com/modperlguide/config/Alias_Configurations.html for more. - Perrin
