Mod Perl settings.

In httpd.conf

1) PerlRequire file is commonly used for intialization during server startup time.
e.g PerlRequire  perl-scripts/script_to_load_at_startup.pl

 

2) In an httpd.conf <Location /foo> or .htaccess you need:

    PerlHandler sub_routine_name

    This is the name of the subroutine to call to handle each request. e.g. in the PerlModule Apache::Registry this is ``Apache::Registry::handler''.

 

If PerlHandler is not a defined subroutine, mod_perl assumes it is a package name which defines a subroutine named ``handler''.

    PerlHandler   Apache::RegistryWould load Registry.pm (if it is not already) and call it's subroutine ``handler''.
