Hi Guys n Gals,

I enabled suExec when I built httpd 2.2.2. Then I built in DSO mod_perl 2.0.2.

Why does GATEWAY_INTERFACE return CGI/1.1 from %ENV when the location directive
that is being served has the "SetHandler perl-script" entry in it ?

Shouldn't httpd return a different value in GATEWAY_INTERFACE depending on what code set is
being used to handle the request ? How does GATEWAY_INTERFACE get set anyway ?

Also, I seem to not be able to load Apache::Registry and other modules as they cannot be found in
@INC (@INC actually contains most module paths). Though I can't even see Apache::Registry within
the mod_perl 2.0.2 source tree which would probably explain why it never got installed that way.
Maybe I need to get it myself, or not even worry about it as ModPerl::Registry is for the same purpose,
and it is in the mod_perl 2.0.2 module source tree and was installed and can be used fine.

How can I be sure that mod_perl is being called by httpd to execute what I want it to ?

Here is the httpd.conf and vhosts.conf container configurations as well as error_log startup logs
and /perl-status output etc:

httpd.conf relative entries: 
# Can load from vhosts container, but hey.
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
