Thanks Marius. I'm using ActivePerl but that doesn't really matter to me. mod_perl is what is important for this project, so if I have to switch to Strawberry Perl (never heard that term before, lol), then that should be fine. If any installation instructions exist for that I would be most

In my handler I call $r-path_info to determine the path used to call my script. I am trying to have a test version of my code using the same module but which reads different data based on the path. So I have: Location /MyPackage2 SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler
