You could probably issue a subrequest in a CGI program running under Apache::Registry, though I'm unsure how to go about capturing the output of a subrequest. However, it would probably be easier to use Apache::Filter with your own Perl handler: PerlModule Apache::Filter PerlModule Apache::Icon PerlModule Apache::AutoIndex PerlModule Apache::MyHandler <Location /addindex> PerlSetVar Filter On SetHandler perl-script PerlTransHandler Apache::AutoIndex::transhandler PerlHandler Apache::AutoIndex Apache::MyHandler </Location> Then your handler can take the output of Apache::AutoIndex and do whatever it likes to it in the same manner as Apache::SSI. The perldoc for Apache::Filter shows you just how to do this. -chris
