Actually, through some poking around, I've been able to get it to work. It's
not a very elegant solution, but here it is:
The original httpd.conf that was giving me trouble:
<Location /cgi-bin>
AddHandler perl-script .pl
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
PerlRequire /opt/mason/eg/handler.pl
<Location />
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason
</Location>
DefaultType text/html
So then I tried this:
<Location /cgi-bin>
AddHandler perl-script .pl
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
Options +ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script # <--------------Change
</Location>
PerlRequire /opt/mason/eg/handler.pl
<Location />
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason
</Location>
DefaultType text/html
Which seemed to work, but made it so all of my scripts were running under CGI
rather than CGI-Perl.
I also tried the following, and took out the previous </Location /cgi-bin>
section:
<FilesMatch ".pl">
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
</FilesMatch>
<Location /cgi-bin>
Options +ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
</Location>
But that also didn't help the CGI-Perl problem.
So now I've kicked it down to the lowest possible change, and I've set the
handler for the HTDIG executable:
<Location /cgi-bin>
AddHandler perl-script .pl
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
<Location /cgi-bin/htsearch> <----------------------
SetHandler cgi-script <---------------------- changes
</Location> <----------------------
PerlRequire /opt/mason/eg/handler.pl
<Location />
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason
</Location>
So while this is working, it would be great if there was another way of
selectively filtering out non-perl CGI scripts so that Mason doesn't get them.
Now, everytime I want to add a new non-perl CGI script, I have to added it to
httpd.conf if it is in the cgi-in directory. Thanks for being so responsive.
Peace,
James
