Hi all, I am new to mod_perl and am having a difficult time with rewrites. Either I am doing it the most wrong way, or it's so easy that I'm over looking it. I have searched and found nothing that seems to relate to what I want.
I am working on a perl based wiki, to help me learn more about how perl works. I am looking for a way to create friendly URLs that get passed to a mod_perl handler, without having the handler location name in the url. For instance currently I have: http://example.com/ex_perl_h/docName and I want: http://example.com/docName >From my apache config: PerlModule ExamplePackage::WC <Location /ex_perl_h> SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ExamplePackage::WC </Location> I have mod rewrite setup to redirect request that don't an existing file or directory to the perl handler. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^/(.*) /ex_perl_h [L] </IfModule> but this doesn't work. I think what I am looking for is a mod_perl based front controler that would handle ALL site request for URLs that don't point to a real file or directory. So for http://example.com/docName docName would be passed somehow to the mod_perl script ExamplePackage::WC , similar to http:://example.com/wc.pl?arg=docName , but done in the mod_per style. Thanks.
