Some are fixed in 1.3.14 but there are an extra set of patches for 1.3.14 to fix the things that weren't fixed.

Ooops :-) Assuming your script is written as a mod_perl handler, and assuming the aforesaid thin Apache in front, try mod_proxy on the front end and Location on the back end. What I do in my httpd-static.conf (cribbed wholesale from the Guide, names changed to protect the innocent): ServerName www.foo.com ProxyRequests on ProxyPass/cgi-bin/ http://localhost:8080/bar/baz/ ProxyPassReverse /cgi-bin/ http://localhost:8080/bar/baz/ RewriteRule ^proxy:.* - [F] # keep others from using your proxy ProxyReceiveBufferSize 65536 # buffer more data thru the proxy # put whatever else you need in here too, like SSL configs, root dirs, # and whatnot and in the httpd-perl.conf: SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Knights::who::say::Nit # likely more stuff goes in here too, see the Guide for details If your scripts are of type Apache::Registry, instead do Alias /bar/baz/ /your/special/path/to/your/scripts/ SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler +Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI PerlSendHeader On Would something like Alias /bar/baz/foo.cgi /your/special/path/to/foo.cgi work? Because then this will work: SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler +Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI PerlSendHeader On and we can mix PerlHandlers and Apache::Registry scripts in the same (virtual) direactory. That would be a win. At least this handles the directory problem. The file extension problem really does require mod_rewrite, I believe. The beauty of this is that what the client sees really has nothing to do with where the scripts are on your server. On my box, I used mod_proxy to virtualize the /cgi-bin/ directory. When a request comes in for http://www.foo.com/cgi-bin/noot.cgi, the request gets passed back, the proper PerlHandler gets called, and life goes on. I admit that I've deliberately avoided learning mod_rewrite; I took one look at it and said "I'm doing something else!". So I set up all my sites to avoid using it. God help me if I ever really _have_ to use it, though :) --Christopher Christopher L. Everett [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I trust you've set up a thin apache at the front? Then it's easy to pass only the scripts you want back to the mod_perl server. Did I just condemn you to learning mod_rewrite? Ooops :-) Plan B would be to maybe do it by suffix? Can you do that? -- Dave Hodgkinson, http://www.hodgkinson.org Editor-in-chief, The Highway Star http://www.deep-purple.com Apache, mod_perl, MySQL, Sybase hired gun for, well, hire -
