I am stuck in an Ensim environment
ugh.
What is possible within an .htaccess file as far as perl configuration
for mod_perl 1?
just about anything. I use an Ensim installation, and am constantly
frustrated by it. however, there are ways around just about anything. for
instance, I couldn't install an ErrorDocument in a .htaccess file for some
reason. fine, I just used
PerlInitHandler 'sub { shift-custom_response(404, /notfound.html); return 0}'
and problem solved :) you can use this approach for just about anything -
I've also use $r-handler('default-handler') to force .cgi documents to be
un-executed and shown as plain text (useful for code examples :). and it
doesn't need to be from an anonymous sub either.
What happens with
PerlModule directives, i.e. does the module get loaded only once, the
first time that apache processes the .htaccess, or every time apache
hits the directory?
it probably won't matter - like use(), perl will only use() the module once.
Similarly, If I am developing a module in place and
PerlModule it within an .htaccess, will it be reloaded whenever apache
hits the directory, or only once?
modules are only loaded once - the first time they are use()d per-child (or
at server init)
If its only once, can I force a
reload of the module?
use
PerlInitHandler Apache::StatINC
to reload them during development (I've also used this on ensim :)

Re: [mp1] .htaccess and mod_perl
Apache::StatINC is R.I.P. Use Apache::Reload instead. but Apache::StatINC comes with mp1 and Apache::Reload doesn't - it's difficult to install modules on these ensim boxes since you don't have root (and yes, there are other ways around it of course :) --Geoff

I will try and get Apache::Reload working, since Stas says so :) I think that I can install any module that doesn't need a compiler, although the whole 'make test' thing might get me since I don't have access to the httpd binary. Who needs testing anyway? Thanks -Mike

It's been in the distro for the last 6 years or so. But Apache::Reload is a way to go. mp2 has only it. So it's better to get used to it.
