Newbie question about mod_perl capabilities
Hi, I am new to mod_perl and am trying to figure out whether it suits my needs or not. Can I use it to intercept any http CONNECT requests Apache receives and answer those?

You might need to do it very early on in the request, and make sure > it gets passed through to mod_proxy later on or things just won't work. Well, thanks to a someone on IRC I have found a code snippet that might do exactly that. So it appears that mod_perl can do this. And yes, it is intended for exactly the kind of CONNECT requests you describe.

Another newbie question: SetPerlVar
Hello, If I use SetPerlVar in my apache-perl httpd.conf by just plainly stating. SetPerlVar Foo Bar Apache-perl won't start: Syntax error on line xxx of /etc/apache-perl/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'SetPerlVar', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration /usr/sbin/apache-perl-ctl start: httpd could not be started What is the obvious thing I am overlooking?
