Under Windows, I don't have mod_perl, so I used a CGI script. Also, this is Apache 2.2, Strawberry Perl 5.10.0. The code behaves exactly as under Debian, and exactly as expected. A deliberate failure, e.g. by using http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/test.dispatch.pl/xsld/Phase2 results in a 404 Not Found. There is no directory c:\apache\htdocs\xsld. My dispatcher is: sub dispatch_args { return { prefix => 'CGI::Application::Test::Dispatch', table => [ '' => {app => 'main-menu', rm => 'menu'}, ':app/' => {rm => 'one'}, ':app/:rm' => {}, ], }; } # End of dispatch_args. You'll notice the first rule used '' and not '/'. I wonder if this is the cause of your problems. If you have a directory such as $doc_root/xyz, and under mod_perl use http://127.0.0.1/xyz/something, apache will match the xzy of course. Since you are using '/', which is just $doc_root, and $doc_root obviously exists, I think you should try as I have done above, without the / in '/'. Let us know what happens. I assume you are doing that in order to get the dispatcher to control the whole web site, but perhaps you need to do things differently. -- Ron Savage r...@savage.net.au http://savage.net.au/index.html ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################
