I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before (it is still wrong on www.modperl.com), but as far as I can see the 'Apache::DefaultTrans' example in chapter7 of the modperl book contains an error, the line: if($uri !~ m:^/: or index($uri, '*')) { should really be: if($uri !~ m:^/: or index($uri, '*') != -1) { because index returns -1 if the substring does not exist, and -1 evaluates as true.
