There are a few ways to go about this one, but here's the solution
that I'd use.
1) Install a PerlTransHandler that sets the URI to / or whatever
you want to have your PerlHandler work with. Have the transhandler return
DECLINED if $r->uri =~ m:^/images/:o;
2) Install a PerlHandler that builds the response for the web.
The advantage to doing it this way is:
a) this was what apache was designed for (multiple phases)
b) allows other handlers to kick in before you build the response
(such as mod_access)
