Yes. > Can you access mason via a CGI script? How can I test that independently of the server call? > Can you set up a handler rule using FilesMatch? (Try just using CGI) I probably shouldn't do that, as explained below. > Can you set up a handler that triggers your masonhandler.pl? I'll try if you tell me how. I've used Perl for various text massaging tasks for years, but CGI and Apache are new to me. > Can you abstract the mason interfacing element from your CGI into your > masonhandler? (based on basic example handler here: > http://www.masonhq.com/docs/manual/CGIHandler.html ) I was told I should not use LocationMatch in an .htaccess file, so I assumed the examples there were wrong. > Can you access your mason components with your mason handler?
