There is a way to redirect errors to your own code. It's not pretty. You can see some example code that does this at http://www.modperlcookbook.org/code/ch16/ You can also download an example module that uses this code to intercept error log entries and post them to an IRC channel. Nothing like real-time errors to keep you on your toes :) You can now read that entire chapter (and two others) online at http://www.modperlcookbook.org/chapters.html Enjoy! > > > For example, if there is a image missing Apache excutes a > > script that > > > generates a replacement image? In this case you're talking about a different type of error condition. As Matt and Geoff mentioned you can use an ErrorDocument script that runs whenever this condition exists. This does not handle other output that flows into your error_log. > > well, you can do just about anything you want :) > > > > however, althoughit is possible to intercept the actual errors Apache > > (and mod_perl) generates, it is rather complex, and really not the > > proper approach here. > > Really?

A cache cleanup daemon runs to clean out TTL'd files. Check out Apache::CacheContent - it implements something similar, available on CPAN or at http://www.modperlcookbook.org/code.html > Warning: don't try and implement this in a commercial application - it's > patented by vignette. Hmmm, I implemented something like this in the early 90s...
