Sergio,
I just walked this route...
The long and short is that it can't be done anything close to feasably.
You'll have to write your own URI Translator and alter some code so that
you can
introduce your DOCUMENT_ROOT down the line to things like the mod_cgi
etc. If you
search the mod_perl forum, you'll see some handy code that one of the
gurus
around here provided me use the NOTES table.
BTW, if you're introducing FrontPage to your masses. You'll have to
re-write your
own fpcount.exe. The codes not available and it's anybody's guess where
the hell
it actually gets the document root from (I even encoded it into the
mod_frontpage.c
module without success) and naturally the source isn't available.
Have fun. I did!

Subject: Set DocumentRoot from modperl
Hi,
I am trying to find a way of setting DocumentRoot (and possibly Alias)
directly from modperl in order to implement dynamically generated
virtual hosting.
The thing is that my virtualhost parameters comes from a database and
may change anytime (so I can't restart Apache in general), so it is
difficult to implement with Apache virtual host rewrite, mod_rewrite
or even <Perl> directives in httpd.conf.
I tried to use subprocess_env to set this variable, but it is useful
only for cgi-scripts, not perl or C handlers since it sets the Environment
variable only.
Is the only solution to rewrite the URI translation phase so it does not
use DocumentRoot directive??
