Assume i have a handler that sits in a location, and that handler has it's own 
admin interface built in.  I also want to be able to easily change the 
directory that the handler is running in, or have it running in multiple 
locations (so i don't want to hardcode the location into the script. 

So my .conf looks like this.

    <Location /crap>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler Something::Crap 
    </Location>

    <Location /crap/admin>
        AuthName "Something"
        AuthType Crap

        PerlAuthenHandler Something::Authen
        PerlAuthzHandler Something::Authz
        require valid-user
    </Location>

The only annoying thing about this is that $r->location will return 
'/crap/admin/' when i'm on the admin part of the site.  Is there any way to get 
the actual location that the PerlHandler is running in despite the fact i'm 
using Authen and Authz handlers in /crap/admin/?

Right now i just parse the /admin out of the location() myself, but that's kind 
of annoying.  I haven't tried resetting the location though (like 
$r->location($newlocation)) but i'm not sure if that will work offhand.

Is there a better way to do this kind of thing?

Adam
