Apache/Dir version 0.05
=======================

   This simple module is designed to be a partial replacement for the
   standard Apache mod_dir module. One of the things that module does is
   to redirect browsers to a directory URL ending in a slash when they
   request the directory without the slash. Since mod_dir seems do its
   thing during the Apache response phase, if you use a Perl handler, it
   won't run. This can be problematic if the Perl handler doesn't likewise
   take the directory redirecting into account.

   A good example is HTML::Mason. If you've disabled Mason's decline_dirs
   parameter (MasonDeclineDirs 0 in httpd.conf), and there's a dhandler in
   the directory /foo, then for a request for /foo, /foo/dhandler will
   respond. This can wreak havoc if you use relative URLs in the dhandler.
   What really should happen is that a request for /foo will be redirected
   to /foo/ before Mason ever sees it.

   This is the problem that this module is designed to address.
   Configuration would then look something like this:

     <Location /foo>
       PerlSetVar       MasonDeclineDirs 0
       PerlModule       Apache::Dir
       PerlModule       HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
       SetHandler       perl-script
       PerlFixupHandler Apache::Dir
       PerlHandler      HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
     </Location>

   Apache::Dir can also be configured to handle the request during the
   response cycle, if you wish. Just specify it before any other Perl
   handler to have it execute first:

     <Location /foo>
       PerlSetVar  MasonDeclineDirs 0
       PerlModule  Apache::Dir
       PerlModule  HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
       SetHandler  perl-script
       PerlHandler Apache::Dir HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
     </Location>
