But this did not work
I had to use this <Location /doc/libhtml-embperl-perl/>

I can understand why the second works, my question is why did the first one not work
it could be a problem with the way apache reads the configuration. i have had the same problem with another tool (not perl) and the problem in my case was the precedence for the configs.
based on the doc found at [1] you will find out, that the apache "<Location> sections are processed in the order they appear in the configuration file, after the <Directory> sections and .htaccess files are read, and after the <Files> sections."
so this could mean that locations are processed at the very end of the config-chain. maybe thats the problem.
Plus can any one tell me where I can find the difference between
just my understanding of the 2 modules
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
runs perl scripts and nothing else. i mean pure perlscripts without any html code.
PerlHandler HTML::Embperl
allows you two embed perl code into html code. like PHP or ASP.
HTH, goofy
