Since I'm sitting in the mod_perl handlers talk at ApacheCon 2003 (being given by Rich Bowen, author of Acme::Apache::Werewolf), your request is granted:

package Acme::Apache::ThereCastle; use strict; use Apache::Constants qw(:common); use IP::Country::Fast; + use vars qw($VERSION); $VERSION = '1.00'; + sub handler { my $r = shift; my $castle = $r->dir_config('CastleHome'); + my $whois = IP::Country::Fast->new(); my $country = $whois->inet_atocc($r->get_remote_host); return FORBIDDEN unless $country eq $castle; return OK; } + =head1 NAME + Acme::Apache::ThereCastle + =head1 SYNOPSIS + <Directory /transylvania> PerlAccessHandler Acme::Apache::ThereCastle PerlSetVar CastleHome RO </Directory> =head1 DESCRIPTION This mod_perl handler performs the important function of only allowing people to access a directory from the right part of the world. =head1 USAGE In your configuration file, put the following configuration <Directory /transylvania> PerlAccessHandler Acme::Apache::ThereCastle PerlSetVar CastleHome RO </directory> Set the CastleHome variable to match the country which should have access to your protected directory. This will keep the peasants from storming your castle. =head1 AUTHOR Michael Kellen idsfa@visi.com http://www.visi.com/~idsfa/ =head1 COPYRIGHT This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.

My parents just came back from a planet where the dominant life form had no
bilateral symmetry, and all I got was this stupid F-Shirt.
