Hi y'all,

I'm handling Apache errors through seperate shtml files. That surely looks better than the standard error pages by the browser etc. I did this by coding in httpd.conf lines like:

  ErrorDocument 403 http://levi.prodeo/errors/err_403.shtml
  ErrorDocument 404 http://levi.prodeo/errors/err_404.shtml
  ErrorDocument 405 http://levi.prodeo/errors/err_405.shtml

etcetera.

Now, I would like to handle those through a Perl script file. For that purpose I coded in httpd.conf lines like:

ErrorDocument 404 http://levi.prodeo/cgi-bin/http_err.pl?err=403
ErrorDocument 404 http://levi.prodeo/cgi-bin/http_err.pl?err=404
ErrorDocument 405 http://levi.prodeo/cgi-bin/http_err.pl?err=405

It does not complain about this URL, but the big question is:

How do I get that error number into my Perl program?

Please spare me the CPAN modules, I think they're overweight. I'd like to see what I'm coding, so simple solutions if possible...

Tnx in advance,
