 Or... maybe you could try using Apache class methods inside Perl

Hmm...something to tinker with as time permits...

Referencing Directives

[Ian D. Stewart]

Is it possible to reference the value of one Directive within another 
Directive (e.g., PerlSetVar VariableName ${DocumentRoot}/subdir) ?


Thanx,

If you use Perl sections, yes.

Perl
$DocumentRoot = '/home/httpd/htdocs';
push @PerlSetVar, [ VariableName = $DocumentRoot/subdir];
/Perl

Note that you need to set $DocumentRoot in a Perl section as well.

You might want to look at mod_macro too.

Thanx Per.  I thought of something like that after I sent out the 
message, though wasn't sure of the syntax.

 
 Note that you need to set $DocumentRoot in a Perl section as well.

So Directives declared outside the Perl section (e.g., ServerRoot, 
DocumentRoot, etc) are not accessible within the Perl section?

Will do.
