Thanks for the suggestion, Philippe, but Perrin is right and it seems to
be too late to change the handler (I just tried it).
Actually I can 'fix' the issue by putting
<FilesMatch \.cgi$>
SetHandler cgi-script
</FilesMatch>
in the .htaccess file along with the 'SetHandler modperl'. This side
steps the issue as it doesn't deal with the other special files like PHP.
Perrin asks what am I doing. I want to create a custom directory listing
and modify the output of various file formats when they match a
particular regexp. All the other files (like CGI scripts) should pass
through untouched to be dealt with by Apache as if the perl handle
wasn't there. I'm guessing that this won't work.
I want to somehow chain the handlers together.
Should I be running this in a different phase?
