Reading PerlSetVar in mod_perl2

[kh...@wipro.com]

Hi All,

I asked the same question before but with not much help so I am asking
it again, The below configuration is added to a configuration file and
that is included in httpd.conf

<Location /someurl>
  SSLRequireSSL
  SetHandler            perl-script
  PerlHandler           Apache::Hello
  PerlSetVar            somevar1 1
  PerlSetVar            somevar2 2
  PerlSetVar            somevar3 3
  PerlSetVar            somevar4 4
</Location>

In the handler Hello, I was able to read all the variables set using
PerlSetVar in apache 1.3 however in apache 2.0 (mod_perl 2) I am getting
blank(null) whenever I read the values from Handler using (
$r->dir_config('somevar1') etc) Can you please let me know possibilies
where it could go wrong, I searched the web but with no great help.

Thanks

All of that looks fine.

Most likely you are not actually in the Location block that you think
you're in.  There's probably something wrong with another part of your
conf file which is preventing the request from actually being handled by
this block.
