yes. in fact, you can't even place the PerlMapToStorageHandler in a <Location> block, so by definition you won't (yet) have a meaningful per-directory config. I wrote as much hours ago, but my response seems to have vanished into the aether. maybe it's been so long since I posted here the list daemon is trying to teach me a lesson :) >> >>[1] >>http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html#PerlMapToStorageHandler > > > Note that MapStorageToHandler does this association, so hook ordering plays > a huge role.
