Yes, you will be able to, thanks to I/O filters.

My suggestions of using stacked handlers may work too with a custom subclass of Apache::RegistryNG. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
