htaccess files

[John Michael]

Is it possible to configure an htaccess file to call a script using apache registry and use it in the PerlAccessHandler. I have written one pretty large perl script in mod-perl using the apache registry to serve out picture gallery pages.  I would like to do some validation of my own on a per directory type basis.   also   I was trying to run this code to do some test and could only get it to work with the #pound signs in from of the files directives.   It works like this. #<Files *> PerlAccessHandler 'sub {return Apache::Constants::FORBIDDEN;}' \ #</Files> but I get this error in the log file.  I could not get it to work any other way.
