Thanks a lot for that. I think I will go into this direction. i have down=
loaded IndigoPerl along with Apache. Further to what you said about apach=
ectl, it seems that this command does not exist under Windows, but we hav=
e to use instead "apache -k". If I understand you well, apachectl allows =
me to call the perl script and then start the server by invoking httpd.ex=

=0A=0D=0AI've been following your thread... Yours is the classic problem =
that arises when you need to configure apache dynamically at run-time. As=
 you've probably realised by now, all apache does at the config stage is =
to read in a long text string (ie, httpd.conf). There is very limited opp=
ortunity to define anything dynamically and as for logical constructs, fo=
rget it... :-(=0D=0A=0D=0AThe solution a lot of people use is to write a =
script (eg, Perl) to generate the config file and then call this script a=
t the start of apachectl (eg, /path/to/config_script > /path/to/httpd.con=
f). You then have the full power of your scripting language to import env=
ironment variables, modify them, apply conditional clauses and you can us=
e loops to cut down on repetition. =0D=0A=0D=0AIt's a bit of an effort to=
 convert from a static to dynamic config initially, but once it's working=
 you'll never look back...=0D=0A=0D=0ARgds,=0D=0AOwen Boyle=0D=0ADisclaim=
