It's funny that you mention this because, now that I think
about it, I always set up directory and location blocks inside
virtual host blocks, e.g.:

$VirtualHost{"_default_:80"} = {
  ServerName  => $hostname,
  DirectoryIndex  => 'index.html index.shtml index.epl',
  etc...
  Location => {
'/admin/perl-status' => {
  SetHandler  => 'perl-script',
  PerlHandler => 'Apache::Status'
},
etc...
  },
  FilesMatch => {
q(.*\\.epl$) => {
  SetHandler  => 'perl-script',
  PerlHandler => 'HTML::Embperl',
  Options => '+ExecCGI'
},
etc...
  },
  Directory => {
directory stuff goes here
  }
}

OK, looks like no-one has any ideas - maybe I should rephrase the question.

Does anyone here have Directory working in Perl sections in mod_perl 1.25 or above?

Thanks,

Jim
