NAME

Apache::RegistryFilter - run Perl scripts in an Apache::Filter chain

SYNOPSIS

#in httpd.conf

PerlModule Apache::RegistryFilter

# Run the output of scripts through Apache::SSI
<Files ~ "\.pl$">
 PerlSetVar Filter on
 SetHandler perl-script
 PerlHandler Apache::RegistryFilter Apache::SSI
</Files>

# Generate some Perl code using templates, then execute it
<Files ~ "\.tmpl$">
 PerlSetVar Filter on
 SetHandler perl-script
 PerlHandler YourModule::GenCode Apache::RegistryFilter
</Files>

DESCRIPTION

This module is a subclass of Apache::RegistryNG, and contains all of its functionality. The only difference between the two is that this module can be used in conjunction with the Apache::Filter module, whereas Apache::RegistryNG cannot.

It only takes a tiny little bit of code to make the filtering stuff work, so perhaps it would be more appropriate for the code to be integrated right into Apache::RegistryNG.

For information on how to set up filters, please see the codumentation for Apache::Filter.

CAVEATS

This is a subclass of Apache::RegistryNG, not Apache::Registry (which is not easily subclassible). Apache::RegistryNG is supposed to be functionally equivalent to Apache::Registry, but it's a little less well-tested.
