Re: path recognition question

(Sorry for the late reply, been out of town)

Recognizing that I've never gone as indepth with mod_perl as other 
users, but it seems to me that accessing "id" here would just be a 
matter of grabbing the PATH_INFO environment variable, wouldn't it?

if the url is www.example.com/app/user/12345, then the program is 
/app/user, and $ENV{'PATH_INFO'} would contain /12345.  Chop off the 
leading forward slash and you've got your ID.

Note that you'd have to have PerlSetupEnv on (the default, although I 
think many may turn it off).

Or am I completely missing something?
