G.W.,
Thanks for the help with my question. I meant to send
a note yesterday, but to be honest, couldn't remember
if I actually sent it. So wanted to be safe rather
than ungrateful.
Regarding the points you made, I will need to look
into them a bit more before I really know if I'm
running things the right way. I kind of followed a
cook-book and got this thing working, and to be
honest, I really am not sure what I've got (mod_perl
or Apache::Registry). :)
Specifically, the only module i've tried so far is the
Footer.pm, and it in fact was installed into:
/usr/local/apache/lib/perl/Apache.
As for the "bit" about cgi-bin, I did not know that it
would make a difference, so I just used it as an
example. Actually, I have in the httpd.conf file the
following:
Alias /db-bin/ "/home/httpd/db-bin/"
<Location "/db-bin">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
# <Location "/db-bin">
# SetHandler perl-script
# PerlHandler Apache::Footer
# </Location>
## Commented out as the CGI.pm won't parse otherwise.
If you still happen to be reading this, I'd sure
appreciate a quick note if anything obvious jumps out
at you regarding directories (above). I'm in the
process of trying to understand why my "stuff" fails
under "use strict;" (vars, redefined subroutines,
etc.) and then I'll try and go for the Footer. But if
it's a simple one, would love to knock it out and have
some uniform footers. :)
Thanks again for your help.
