Hi, I was getting the error "Identifier too long" with some requests and eventually found the cause to be in Apache::Registry. The problem occurred when the URL to the script was too long, i.e. larger than around 250 characters. I found that Perl allows only a limited number of characters for a package name and Apache::Registry uses the URI to create the package name.
In my case the URI can become large because specially formated URLs are being AliasMatch-ed to a Apache::Registry script. So the filename of the script is much shorter and I changed my Apache::Registry to now use the filename to generate a package name instead of the URI. So I'm wondering if in the general case it is maybe safer to use the filename instead of the URI to create the package name. Also I wonder if there is any downside to using the filename. The change I made to Registry.pm is simple: > diff Registry.pm.old Registry.pm 72,74c72 < my $script_name = $path_info && $uri =~ /\Q$path_info\E$/ ? < substr($uri, 0, length($uri)-length($path_info)) : < $uri; --- > my $script_name = $filename; If it makes sense I would like to request to include this change into the official Apache::Registry release.
