I actually wanted to do both; a custom directory listing and let the CGI
or PHP scripts run as before.
I did look at the various CPAN offerings and they just load the perl
handler for everything in a particular directory.
You are right, I need to match just against the URLs that end in
/ and only set up the mod_perl stuff for directories.
Thanks for the help.
