OK, figured out how to make the SetEnv bit work. Just set $ENV directly in the
<Perl> section. Seems a bit inconsistent that you can't push on @SetEnv as you
would for other directives, but oh, well.
So now, I am trying to figure out how to do the equivalent of this in a Perl
section:
---
<Directory "C:/Users/Desiletsa/Documents/eclipse_workspace/WeBiText/htdocs">
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
---
Here is what I tried;
---
<Perl>
$Directory{"C:/Users/Desiletsa/Documents/eclipse_workspace/WeBiText/htdocs"} =
{
Order => 'Deny,Allow',
Allow => 'from,all'
};
</Perl>
---
But Apache does not start. What am I doing wrong here?

Subject: Perl sections in Apache conf files
I am trying to use <Perl> sections in my Apache conf files, in order to
automate management of my various installations on various servers.
Looking at this page:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/PerlSections.html#Configuration_Variables
I gather that any directive that can be written in an Apache conf file, can
also be written as a perl statement in a <Perl> section of the Apache conf file.
As I understand it, you do this by pushing the directives arguments to an array
whose name is the same as the directive.
For example, if I want to write a Perl statement which does the equivalent of
this:
---
SetEnv HELLO_WORLD "Salutation earthlings"
---
I would write this:
---
<Perl>
push @SetEnv, "HELLO_WORLD", "Salutation earthlings";
</Perl>
---
Is that correct?
I have tried this, but it does not seem to work. The reason I say this is that
if I run a script that prints the environment:
--- print_env.cgi:
print "Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n";
print "Environment variables are:\n";
foreach my $a_key ( keys %ENV ) {
print "$a_key:\t$ENV{$a_key}\n";
}
--- end of print_env.cgi
I do see a HELLO_WORLD variable, but it's empty. I also see a Salutation
variable (also empty), which I guess is what Apache did with the first word the
value which I intended for HELLO_WORLD. There is no "earthlings" variable.
What am I doing wrong?
