@John Thanks for the reply, but
PerlAuthenHandler Authen::special doesn't work. It worked in mod_perl 1, but mod_perl 2 complains that it can't find Authen/special.pm in @INC. @André, Thanks for the reply. I was reluctant to use this solution because of the OOC orientation of this syntax, but it isn't actually mandatory to define a class in order to use this. You just have to be aware that the custom handler will receive the request object as its second argument instead of the first. --- package Authen; sub handler { my ($r) = @_; # regular case with $r as the request object } sub special { my (undef, $r) = @_; # special case with $r as the request object } --- PerlAuthenHandler Authen->special --- Cheers, Cédric Bertolini 2010/9/27 André Warnier <a...@ice-sa.com> > Hi. > > You can use > > PerlAuthenhandler Your::Module->special > > See http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/coding/coding.html#Techniques > > > > > Cédric Bertolini wrote: > >> @Michel, >> >> Thanks for the reply.
