I have been using Apache::Registry to turbo-charge my
CGI scripts for several years, but yes this is the
first time writing a handler.

Still not working for me.  Here are my steps...

httpd.conf:

<Location /tempsecure >
  Options Indexes
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlFixupHandler My::Fixup
  PerlResponseHandler My::Dummy
</Location>

My/Dummy.pm package just returns DECLINED (for now)

My/Fixup.pm package exactly as 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl&m=111445150218566&w=2

Note 1:
  - All references to Apache2 changed to Apache (fresh
install of Fedora Core 3 & one up2date
    (httpd is 2.0.52 and mp2 is 1.99_16-3)
  - no complaints

Problem 1:
  - Error: Bareword "Apache::Const::DIR_MAGIC_TYPE"
not allowed while "strict subs" in use ..
  - Same complaint with Apache::Const::OK and
Apache::Const::DECLINED 
  - Bad practice, but I commented out the use strict
and use warnings ;

Problem 2:
  - calling URL to location (without file) 
  - error: "Can't locate object method is_initial_req
via package Apache::RequestReq 
  - I'm worried.  

Problem 3:
  - remove conditional logic from Fixup.pm so it
always forces directory index
	sub handler {
          my $r = shift;
	  $r->handler(Apache::Const::DIR_MAGIC_TYPE);
	  return Apache::Const::OK;
        }
  - call URL with location (no specific file)
  - error log: "Attempt to Serve directory"

Help.  I'm stuck.
Tom
