startup.pl config: invalid command 'SetHandler'?

okay, we can ixnay the <Perl> paradigm from my original post --
this is still just as broken using startup.pl...

reasonable conclusion -- yet "SetHandler" is indeed used within
the httpd.conf to set up /status and /info thus:
<IfModule mod_status.c>
<Location /status>
SetHandler server-status
<IfModule mod_access.c>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 10.1.1 192.168.
</IfModule>
</Location>
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_info.c>
<Location /info>
SetHandler server-info
<IfModule mod_access.c>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 10.1.1 192.168.
</IfModule>
</Location>
</IfModule>
those both work like a charm from the browser, so SetHandler is
confirmed as working properly (indicating that mod_mime is
loaded and operational). but using this code in startup.pl still
goes poof:
%VirtualHost = (
'10.1.1.1' => {
'DocumentRoot' => '/var/www/',
'DirectoryIndex' => [ 'index.md', 'index.html' ],
'ServerAlias' => '*myserver.com',
'ServerName' => 'www.myserver.com',
'SetHandler' => 'perl-script', # <<<< BOOM!
'PerlTransHandler' => 'My::Trans::handler'
}
);
as indicated in the logs:

note that i'm no longer using <Perl> sections in httpd.conf, but
the error message apparently uses that concept by default.

what the heck? no virtual hosts?
Also -- i noticed that the trans handler DOES seem to be
working, as it logs connections-per-session (via cookie) and the
log and the database both indicate that it's operating properly.
so why is the server spewing source code, albeit from different
hosts despite the fact that 'no virtual hosts' are configured?
there must be something i did that borks the innards somehow...

i'm using the out-of-the-box apache-perl package from debian
stable (woody) which has mod_perl compiled in, and everything
else is optional/modules. when i get things singing on key, i
may step back and rearrange the choir a bit -- until then, tho,
modules are gonna stay as is. :)

aha, says me, maybe a block (<IfModule> or <Location> or
<VirtualHost>) needs to be in a self-contained $PerlConfig[*]
item instead of spread across several virtual "lines" in the
array (seems silly not to facilitate that, but here goes...)
now i've got the whole "concatenate strings" rigamarole going,
and i push it en toto as one element of the @PerlConfig array:
@PerlConfig = (
'<VirtualHost 10.1.1.1>
ServerName www.midwestRepo.com
ServerAlias *midwestRepo.com
# ServerAdmin webmaster@midwestRepo.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/midwestRepo.com
PerlTransHandler Repo::Trans::handler
# PerlHandler see $r->set_handler in Repo::Trans::handler
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir disabled
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.md index.html
</IfModule>
<Location />
AllowOverride all
Options -Indexes -Includes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
SetHandler perl-script
<IfModule mod_access.c>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfModule>
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
'
);
and now there's no complaint about SetHandler, but not only does
10.1.1.1:80 have no virtualhosts for some godawful reason,
neither does 10.1.1.1:0?
[Sun Apr 27 04:12:17 2003] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Sun Apr 27 04:12:24 2003] [warn] NameVirtualHost 10.1.1.1:0 has no VirtualHosts

[Sun Apr 27 04:12:24 2003] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem)
and this time i believe it, because it doesn't adhere to the
documentroot for the virtual host as it had been before (even
though it complained before).
i still need stronger medication. or a big clue-whap.

trying to track this down, i removed one virtual host (the house
one) and added this to my midwestrepo.com startup.pl code:
<snip>
Location => {
'/' => {
AllowOverride => 'all',
Options => q/-Indexes -Includes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI/,
SetHandler => 'perl-script',
Apache->module('mod_access.c')
? (
Order => 'allow,deny',
Allow => 'from all',
)
: (
),
},
},
<snip>
so i'm testing for the module "mod_access.c" before using its
directives -- and look:
[Sun Apr 27 03:32:23 2003] [error] (22)Invalid argument: <Perl>: Invalid command 'Order', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
[Sun Apr 27 03:32:23 2003] [error] (22)Invalid argument: <Perl>: Invalid command 'Allow', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
[Sun Apr 27 03:32:23 2003] [error] (22)Invalid argument: <Perl>: Invalid command 'SetHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
i still can't figure it out, but there's gotta be a pattern here.
(yes, in the httpd.conf above the PerlRequire startup.pl, there
are several Order and Allow directives that seem to work.)
this is the debian/stable package "apache-perl"
Server version: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux
Server built: Nov 5 2002 06:43:12
###
another note -- when tinkering with <Perl></Perl> sections in
httpd.conf, i did a "print __PACKAGE__" and it showed
"ApacheReadConfig" all as one solid word, as opposed to
"Apache::ReadConfig" with the double-colons as mentioned in the
eagle book and encouraged by Apache::PerlSections->dump(). is
this significant or pertinent somehow?
(didn't appear to affect anything whether using :: or not)
###
okay, i even tried @PerlConfig -- dump and error output is as
follows, which has me wanting to call the funny farm:
package Apache::ReadConfig;
#hashes:
%VirtualHost = (
'10.1.1.1' => []
);
#arrays:
@PerlConfig = (
'<VirtualHost 10.1.1.1>',

'</VirtualHost>'
);

the /VirtualHost directive is ostensibly NOT missing. the
/Location directive is ostensible NOT missing. the ServerAlias IS
within a VirtualHost block.
i think i need stronger medication.

Have you tried turning on MOD_PERL_TRACE s? Does it work when you do
this in the standard way, as plain text in httpd.conf?
I'm afraid I'm really just shooting in the dark here, since I've never
used PerlSections.

right. i was trying to save a bit on bandwidth by trimming my
email... here's the actual setup (as you can surmise, i use
HTML::Mason):
%VirtualHost = (
'10.1.1.1' => [
{
'DocumentRoot' => '/var/www/dontUthink.com/house',
'DirectoryIndex' => [
'index.md',
'index.html'
],
'ServerAdmin' => 'webmaster@dontUthink.com',
'Directory' => {
'/var/www/dontUthink.com/house' => {
'FilesMatch' => {
'(\\.mc|^(auto|d)handler)$' => {
'PerlHandler' => 'Apache::Constants::NOT_FOUND',
'SetHandler' => 'perl-script'
},
'(\\.html|\\.txt|\\.md|^[^.]+)$' => {
'PerlHandler' => 'Mason::dontUthink::handler',
'SetHandler' => 'perl-script'
}
},
'AllowOverride' => 'all',
'Options' => '-Indexes -Includes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI'
}
},
'ServerName' => 'house.dontUthink.com'
},
{
'Location' => {
'/' => {
'AllowOverride' => 'all',
'Options' => '-Indexes -Includes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI',
'SetHandler' => 'perl-script'
}
},
'DocumentRoot' => '/var/www/midwestRepo.com',
'DirectoryIndex' => [
'index.md',
'index.html'
],
'ServerAlias' => '*midwestRepo.com',
'ServerName' => 'www.midwestRepo.com',
'PerlTransHandler' => 'Repo::Trans::handler'
}
]
);
and i still get the errors: note there are three SetHandler
directives, and i get three lines of matching complaints in
error.log (plus a 'no virtual hosts' snag, and then it dishes
out source code).
aaugh!
(by the way -- is the FilesMatch hashref syntax appropriate for
what i'm after? it's a pretty straight translate from httpd.conf
but i'm not sure about using a regex as a hash key...)

You can't set a handler for the whole VirtualHost. It has to be inside
a Location or Files block.
