Ahh... Now we get into the interesting bits of mod_perl. There
is a way to change the DocumentRoot on a per-request basis. Just
not a way to do this in the config files.
Use the function Apache::document_root. For example:
my $old_docroot = $r -> document_root($new_docroot);
$r -> register_cleanup(sub { shift -> document_root($old_docroot) } );
The new document root will be available as (the scalar)
$Apache::Server::DocumentRoot .
This is based on information from several months ago. I haven't
actually tested it, but I think Doug said it should work back
then (v. 1.23).
You might be able to put this in you authentication handler. If
you get something working with this, let us know.
