Referencing Directives

["Ian D. Stewart" <id...@compuvative.com>]

Is it possible to reference the value of one Directive within another 
Directive (e.g., PerlSetVar VariableName ${DocumentRoot}/subdir) ?


Thanx,
Ian

Hmm...something to tinker with as time permits...

Thanx Per.  I thought of something like that after I sent out the 
message, though wasn't sure of the syntax.

So Directives declared outside the <Perl> section (e.g., ServerRoot, 
DocumentRoot, etc) are not accessible within the <Perl> section?

Will do.

If you use <Perl> sections, yes.

<Perl>
$DocumentRoot = '/home/httpd/htdocs';
push @PerlSetVar, [ VariableName => "$DocumentRoot/subdir"];
</Perl>

Note that you need to set $DocumentRoot in a <Perl> section as well.

You might want to look at mod_macro too.
