I'm not sure that I'll ever have a need for it, but it's a neat idea. you may want to look into Apache::ModuleConfig to see how you can create directives without the need for a separate config file. for instance: SymLinkRule Deny .* it's pretty easy and probably a bit cleaner in this case (since I suspect that you moved to a config file since PerlSetVar just didn't fit the bill for the syntax you wanted). just see chapter 8 of the Eagle book for Apache modules, once you have the (rather loose) approval of the list, you can submit to upload to PAUSE without officially registering your module... just announce it here and (separatly) submit a patch to the module list (apache-modlist.html from cvs) --Geoff > > Thanks, > Charles > > -- > Dr. Charles J.
