Re: mod_perl and current directory (was Re: Newbie Q on Apache::Include)
Actually I haven't got this to work. I'm yet trying to figure how to load the module (PerlModule Apache::SSI) in the .htaccess with it actuall residing in the /perl/ directory rather than the standard lib directories. Why? It's a module, not a CGI script. I'm not sure whether the company that's hosting my web site will want to install any non-critical module (They ahve done me a favor allowing me to run mod_perl ... ) So I want to see if I have any options installing it under my directory tree. If you don't want to put it in your standard @INC paths, you can put it under APACHE_HOME/lib/perl/ which is automatically added to @INC by mod_perl. - Perrin

mod_perl and current directory (was Re: Newbie Q on Apache::Include)
You can do this. Technically I think you can POST to a file, but you
don't need to.
You can do this lots of ways, including post-processing the output of a
CGI script with a module like CGI::SSI. What I
Tks that way worked except for the #config sizefmt of mod_include
would suggest is writing a script that you will run under
Apache::Registry, and calling Apache::Include-virtual('/uri/of/file') to
do the includes.
From the documentation of the Apache::Include I couldn't make out whether
it handled other features like set which I am using. But your siggestion
led me to search on CPAN and found Apache::SSI. That was reasonably
well-documented and I was planning on using it except the module couldn't
be found. Is it true what was said in one of the other threads -with
mod_perl (Apache 1.3.27) the current working directory is different from
the dir where the script lies? If so how does one use code organized uder
one's own directory? (Need to know this as my host does not want to install
modules for me.)
