yes, that's the limitation - you can only filter perl handlers. in most cases this is sufficient, since you can call out and/or emulate environments like cgi (Apache::Registry), ssi (Apache::SSI), and php (PHP::Interpreter) from within mod_perl. > > Is there any trick to solve this problem in Apache 1.3?
