in reply to Odd CGI interception

In this case you can do something like:

use Apache; # path_info will contain a leading slash. You might want to get # rid of trailing slashes too ... YMMV (my $path = Apache->request->path_info) =~ s#^/##; my %param = split /[\/=]/, $path; print "$param{variablea}:$param{variableb}"; # 3892:"test"

Usual caveats about roll-you-own CGI apply.

In production code you'll obviously want to properly cope with odd number of parameters (if you can count of specified parameters, consider using an array instead of a hash, and call it as /scriptname/3892/test instead).

And don't forget to untaint!
