NAME

Apache::PrettyPerl - Apache mod_perl PerlHandler for nicer output perl files in the client's browser.

SYNOPSIS

You must be using mod_perl. See http://perl.apache.org/ for details. For the correct work your apache configuration would contain apache directives look like these:

  # in httpd.conf (or any other apache configuration file)

  <Files ~ "\.p[lm]$">
    SetHandler          perl-script
    PerlHandler         Apache::PrettyPerl

    # Below here is optional
    PerlSetVar          TabSize         8
    PerlSetVar          AllowDownload   On
  </Files>

There is only example of apache configuration. Most probably you should like place <Files> directive inside <Directory> directive. Otherwise will be handled all perl files, including CGI and mod_perl scripts.

DESCRIPTION

This is apache handler that converts perl files on the fly into syntax highlighted HTML. So your perl scripts/modules will be look nicer. Also possibly download original perl file (without syntax highlight).

CONFIGURATION DIRECTIVES

All features of the this PerlHandler, will be setting in the apache confihuration files. For this you can use PerlSetVar apache directive. For example:

    PerlSetVar  TabSize 8   # inside <Files>, <Location>, ...
                            # apache directives

TabSize

Setting size of the tab (\t) symbol. Default is 8.

AllowDownload

If set to ``on'' a download link will be displayed which allows the unmodified file to be downloaded. Defaults to ``off''.
