Er, yes. Altho this functionality is sort of broken with Apache 2 and mod_perl 2 But in a production environment of Apache 1.3.27 and mod_perl 1.27, I have redirected any all input to a subroutine in a script. Goto http://ttms.stout.dyndns.org and see what you see. From there, add anything you like to the URI. I suggest reading the mod_perl API on the apache website, it tells you how to use mod_perl with Apache. I can help you write a RequestHandler to handle it.

I might just be thinking WAY to advanced here too. Might be a way of doing an Apache config for it. something like PermanentRedirect "localhost/cgi-bin/blah.cgi" Go read up on that, I highly doubt that exact context will work. And as I said, I work with Apache 1.3, not 2.0. They got some more work to do on the 2.0 series yet before I even think about switching...

I totally agree...the only reason I installed 2.0 in the first place is I didn't want the trouble of compiling and installing the WebDAV module...which as it turns out, never really worked when I try to use m$ w2k's own client...well, that belongs to another forum... __ Do you Yahoo!?

I have a question relevant to this forum. When will they fix the Apache Request Object in Apache/mod_perl 2.x?

Re: Perl CGI Newbie
Mark,
Try this. It is completly untested so you may have to tweak it a
bit.
I wrote it this morning before having coffee.

Hi, What should I need to do if I want one or more of my CGI programs to be run by Apache user but in fact to run them by my own account? I want to do this because I need to upload files, create directories and other tasks with some programs, and Apache user doesn't have the right permissions for these. Thank you.

Regex question.
I have a database with the following fields. lname fnam M acct# mrmbirth Postdate Post# drln drfn m disch DOE,JOHN,R,00037839842,207337,02151956,04072003,01980,LastName,FirstName,L,04102003 I have a very simple script which splits the delimiter , and shows the result in the same format as in database. I want to do following things using regex, but I have tried my options to my level best, ::) no results yet, 1- Remove all the leading 000 from any field like acct# = 00037839842 should be 37939842 and Post# should be 1980 2- Want to format dates like birth = 02151956 should be 02/15/1956 Any help?? Thanks, Sara.
