This question is not strictly Perl related as far as I know, but I don't know who else to turn to. Also, as far as I know, this question has already been answered, if so, I'm sorry but I wasn't able to find it.

I am attempting to use HTML::Mason on a school project, however I don't have acess to mod_perl (can't seem to get it to install on Win32), so I'm falling back on HTML::Mason::CGIHandler. The problem is that while I have followed the instructions in the CGIHandler docs, it doesn't seem to be using the handler script. Below is any information I think may be important... I don't know what else to try since I don't work directaly with Apache too often.

Running Win32 (Win98SE), I'm not sure of the apache version ATM. I'll post it when I get home (posting from school)

Action html-mason /cgi-bin/mason_handler.cgi placed into httpd.conf

Placed into .htaccess

<FilesMatch "\.html$">
   SetHandler html-mason
</FilesMatch>

[download]

mason_handler.cgi 
#!perl
use HTML::Mason::CGIHandler;

warn("Used CGIHandler!");
   
my $h = new HTML::Mason::CGIHandler
 (
  allow_globals => [qw(%session $u)],
 );
   
$h->handle_request;

[download]

The warning in the above code never shows up, so I have to guess for now that the problem lies with Apache, but what did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance




My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.
