Basically, this allows you to call PerlHandlers as you would Regsitry scripts without having to load your httpd.conf with a slurry of <Location> tags. EXAMPLE in httpd.conf PerlModule Apache::Dispatch PerlModule Bar <Location /Foo> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Dispatch DispatchPrefix Bar </Location> in browser: http://localhost/Foo/baz the results are the same as if your httpd.conf looked like: <Location /Foo> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Bar::dispatch_baz </Location> but with the additional security of protecting the class name from the browser and keeping the method name from being called directly. Because any class under the Bar:: hierarchy can be called, one <Location> directive is be able to handle all the methods of Bar, Bar::Baz, etc... Changes: 0.07 10.26.2000 - added support for output filtering thanks to Ken Williams for additional Apache::Filter functionality - added FILTERING section to documentation - added DispatchISA functionality to set parent classes for dispatched module - added DispatchAUTOLOAD directive to make AUTOLOAD behavior user defined - added AUTOLOAD section to documentation - more, better documentation - modified Apache::ModuleConfig->get() calls thanks to Doug MacEachern for the enlightenment - fixed bug that allowed for duplicate DispatchExtras directives - fixed directive inheritance problems - fixed dispatch_index bug - fixed one minor "my $x if 0" condition - fixed DispatchStat ISA directive to properly recurse all levels - made mod_perl 1.2401 required due to DIR_MERGE memory leak in mod_perl < 1.24
