[users@httpd] Problem setting action handler for HTML::Mason::CGIHandler.pm

[Benct Philip Jonsson <bp...@gmail.com>]

I'm trying to use the Perl module HTML::Mason under
CGI.  The instructions in the HTML::Mason::CGIHandler
manual turned out to be all wrong, so I was advised
to use the following:

I have an .htaccess file that looks like this:

     #Define the html-mason handler (server root relative)
     Action html-mason /home/melroch/masonhandler.pl

     #Public
     <FilesMatch "\.mhtml$">
       Options +ExecCGI
       SetHandler html-mason
     </FilesMatch>

     #Private
     <FilesMatch ".mas$">
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
     </FilesMatch>

But when I point to an *.mhtml I get an error:

     "The requested URL
     /home/melroch/masonhandler.pl/test.mhtml was not found
     on this server."

It seems Apache thinks masonhandler.pl is a directory
rather than a script that should handle requests for
*.mhtml files.

FYI the masonhandler.pl looks like this:

     #!/usr/bin/perl -T

     use warnings;

     #Untainting: Explicitly add programs as needed
     $ENV{PATH} = undef;

     use strict;
     use HTML::Mason::CGIHandler;

     #Get a new Mason handler object
     my $h = HTML::Mason::CGIHandler->new
      (
       #preamble        => 'my $p = MasonX::Profiler->new($m, $r);',
     #MasonX::Profiler object
       allow_globals        => [qw( $ROOT $ThisUser )],      #globals 
per child
       code_cache_max_size    => 0,                             #Turn off
     caching while testing
      );

     #Pass the request to the handler. Ta-da!
     $h->handle_request;
