CCing it back onto the list... >>>>> Now if I do not want all to specify all cgi scripts (*.cgi) to be handled by the handler precisely to avoid pitfalls and only specify some files to be used, then how do I do that via the Files directive. <<<<<
There's a couple of different approaches. The first you posted - list them individually. Alternatively the Files directive will take a regular expression. The apache docs are here for v1.3 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#files Another way if all your cgi scripts are in a single cgi-bin or similar is to setup different aliases. Then you can access the same scripts as straight CGI, Apache::Registry, or Apache::PerlRun. I'll assume your cgi-bin is already setup - here's the rest of the config. Alias /perl/ /path/to/cgi-bin/ PerlModule Apache::Registry <Location /perl> SetHander perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI allow from all PerlSendHeader On </Location> Alias /perl-cgi/ /path/to/cgi-bin/ PerlModule Apache::PerlRun <Location /perl-cgi> SetHander perl-script PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun Options ExecCGI allow from all PerlSendHeader On </Location> Then you can try running your script through Apache::Registry with http://www.mydomain.com/perl/myscript.cgi if that doesn't work then http://www.mydomain.com/perl-cgi/myscript.cgi for Apache::PerlRun. Failing any of those revert back to CGI with http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/myscipt.cgi. Carl
