I am looking at pending issues in todo/release, and I came upon this issue

Right now, <Perl> PerlModule PerlRequire can _only_ be used in Global
configuration and server scope. No <Location>, htacceess, etc.

The orignial conversation about this is here :

I'd like to quote Stas from the last e-mail in the thread:

"However doing this via proposed MP_CMD_DIR_TAKE1 doesn't seem right.
We need  to add .htaccess, but not change the SRV directives to DIR."

I agree with him, .htaccess support makes sense, and would mean re-executing
that operation for each request, IMO.

So if you PerlRequire /foo/bar.pl in some .htaccess, it will get required on each
request, same for <Perl> sections.

The question I have for all, is how can we make a directive support .htaccess without
also allowing it in blocks. AFAIK, the httpd API only allows OR_ALL for this and
it's both .htaccess and blocks.


How was this done in mp1?

Just found out there is a way to tell them apart (from mp1). cmd_param->path is NULL unless
you are in .htaccess context.

So, the way to fix this would be to change the wanted directives to OR_ALL and create a macro
to slap at the beginning of each of them that check for param->path != null or bombs out. Working
on it.
