if all you want is mod_dir's default behavior (before mod_perl would
override it) and if you're interested in alternative methods, you could also
try some of these.
- use ClearModuleList/AddModule to place mod_dir before mod_perl in the
module list, which means loading mod_dir _after_ mod_perl in httpd.conf.
- use a fixup handler to override mod_perl settings. for example:
use Apache::Constants qw(DECLINED DIR_MAGIC_TYPE):
$r->set_handlers(PerlHandler => sub { return DECLINED })
if $r->content_type = DIR_MAGIC_TYPE;
- remove DIR_MAGIC_TYPE from the handler_rec in mod_perl.c and recompile
some of these may not be suitable for something like Bricolage support. but
there are options short of rewriting mod_dir in perl.
