Synopsis: Compatibility from from 1.2.X to 1.3 with <Files>

State-Changed-Why:
The new-for-1.3 <FilesMatch> directive is *not* a direct
replacement for <Files "pattern">, but for the regex
format, <Files ~ "pattern">.  "*.pl" is a shell pattern,
not a regex one.  Continue to use <Files> for shell
pattern matching.

Thanks for using Apache!

Yes I know this. All I was trying to say (in reference to <FileMatch>)
is that I used it as a workaround. I think the bug report is still
unanswered.

This is the whole point of my bug report. <Files> for shell patterns
didn't work! The same config file I was using for 1.2.5 didn't work
under 1.3, it just ignored <File *.pl> and was returning the text
of my perl scripts instead of executing them.
