Hi all, Here is an update on a newbie dancing pilgrim's progress, through the shoals of mod_rewrite. Starting with the rewrite rules in Dancer::Deployment, I've been trying to get the behavior I want from my website URLs. I've got a solution (below) that allows access control using .htaccess. In future I expect to handle everything through Dancer. I guess I'd like some feedback, how to do it better. For example, I think RewriteBase might be a more concise way to introduce dispatch.cgi... if I could only get it right. Thanks for any thoughts on this.
