When I try this example, I find that this line
> my $file = $r->path_info;
will set $file to "/index.html" when I request the URL /tt/index.html
which leads to an error message that says,
reason: file error - /index.html: absolute paths are not allowed (set ABSOLUTE option)
You may want to clip off the leading slash or set the Template Toolkit
option ABSOLUTE, depending on which suits your needs.
