I trust you've set up a thin apache at the front? Then it's easy to pass only the scripts you want back to the mod_perl server. Did I just condemn you to learning mod_rewrite? Ooops :-) Assuming your script is written as a mod_perl handler, and assuming the aforesaid thin Apache in front, try mod_proxy on the front end and Location on the back end. What I do in my httpd-static.conf (cribbed wholesale from the Guide, names changed to protect the innocent): VirtualHost www.xxx.yyy.zzz:ppp ServerName www.foo.com ProxyRequests on ProxyPass/cgi-bin/ http://localhost:8080/bar/baz/ ProxyPassReverse /cgi-bin/ http://localhost:8080/bar/baz/ RewriteRule ^proxy:.* - [F] # keep others from using your proxy ProxyReceiveBufferSize 65536 # buffer more data thru the proxy # put whatever else you need in here too, like SSL configs, root dirs, # and whatnot /VirtualHost and in the httpd-perl.conf: Location /boo/baz/noot.cgi SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Knights::who::say::Nit # likely more stuff goes in here too, see the Guide for details /Location If your scripts are of type Apache::Registry, instead do Alias /bar/baz/ /your/special/path/to/your/scripts/ Location /bar/baz/ SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler +Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI PerlSendHeader On /Location META Would something like Alias /bar/baz/foo.cgi /your/special/path/to/foo.cgi work? Because then this will work: Location /bar/baz/foo.cgi SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler +Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI PerlSendHeader On /Location and we can mix PerlHandlers and Apache::Registry scripts in the same (virtual) direactory. That would be a win. /META At least this handles the directory problem. The file extension problem really does require mod_rewrite, I believe. The beauty of this is that what the client sees really has nothing to do with where the scripts are on your server. On my box, I used mod_proxy to virtualize the /cgi-bin/ directory. When a request comes in for http://www.foo.com/cgi-bin/noot.cgi, the request gets passed back, the proper PerlHandler gets called, and life goes on. I admit that I've deliberately avoided learning mod_rewrite; I took one look at it and said "I'm doing something else!". So I set up all my sites to avoid using it. God help me if I ever really _have_ to use it, though :) --Christopher Christopher L. Everett [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mod_perl on specific scripts
I have a number of scripts in places other then /perl that I want to use mod_perl for. However, I can't turn it on for all scripts in a specific directory or even a certain extension. Is there any way to do this or am I going to need to do a redirect of some sort (anyone have one)? Thanks, Paonia

Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill, this is good in thoery but I have not gotten it to work in practice. here is the general idea (of what I tried): Files /home/httpd/cgi-bin/test2.pl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /Files I tried a lot of variation as well thanks Paonia
