User process ownership

[John Stauffacher]

All,

I've run into an interesting problem which I can't seem to figure out.
Here it is: I have created a web form/perl script that sets up a users
vacation file and .forward for them. Which works. The only problem is, I
cannot write to their home directory (because Apache does not have
rights to). The users *ARE* being authenticated via LDAP -- is there any
way I can spawn a process with the ownership of the user to write to
their directories within mod perl?

file globbing question

[John Stauffacher]

All,

I am a bit confused as to what httpd.conf directives need to be used in
order to get apache to execute a PerlHandler when it encounters a
certain file type. What I want to do:
Execute a handler whenever a *.qw file is accessed. The same
handler whether or not the file exists and not look for the file. So the
user makes the request: get /somewhere/my.qw and gets the response
"moo". Then they request /other/place/boo.qw and gets the response
"moo". I have tried using a  directive, but it envokes the
handler, then looks for the file and throws a 404. Any ideas?
