Re: content negotiation with Apache/cgi

With the CGI module, you can use the http() method to obtain the ACCEPT_LANGUAGE header from the client's request. Is that what you need?

use CGI qw/:standard/;

# use one of the following forms
$requested_language = http('Accept-language');
$requested_language = http('Accept_language');

# take action based on the client's list of acceptable languages ...

Right. That is part of what I need, assuming I can get to Accept-Language from CGI::Application. My task lies beyond that. Do I make Apache serve lang specific index.cgi (index.de.cgi or index.es.cgi and so on), or do I use a single index.cgi which somehow manages to serve different templates (welcome.en.tmpl or welcome.es.tmpl and so on). This is where my confusion lies, and here is where I welcome advice. -- when small people start casting long shadows, it is time to go to bed	[reply]
