Hi, I've noticed that when using custom directives within nested <Location> the result of $r->location reports the parent one only, instead of the subdir.
However if I add PerlSetVar the $r->location will report the correct one. The way to replicate: please follow the example http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/custom.html#Merging_at_Work and now add: --- httpd.conf-orig 2010-11-30 12:06:57.491843181 +0000 +++ httpd.conf 2010-11-30 12:07:39.217629859 +0000 @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ PerlResponseHandler MyApache2::CustomDirectivesTest </Location> <Location /custom_directives_test/subdir> + PerlSetVar fix "problem" MyPlus 1 MyList "SubDir" MyAppend "SubDir" --- MyApache2-orig/CustomDirectivesTest.pm 2010-11-30 12:03:13.430774397 +0000 +++ MyApache2/CustomDirectivesTest.pm 2010-11-30 12:04:58.655364262 +0000 @@ -39,6 +39,8 @@ $r->printf("Processing by %s.\n", $s->is_virtual ?
