apache: mod_perl only through ssh?

Hi all,

sorry if this seems obvious to mre experienced apache admins -- but it
definitely isn't obvious to me...

I'd like to configure an apache with proxied mod_perl such that perl
scripts can only be executed through an https connection. So far I have
https (mod_ssl) up and running, but any attempts at limiting mod_perl to
secure connections were unsuccessful. What solutions should I try?

Configuration information:

Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.22 Server at <myhost> Port 8200
PERL_SEND_HEADER = On
HTTP_HOST = 127.0.0.1:8200
GATEWAY_INTERFACE = CGI-Perl/1.1
SERVER_SOFTWARE = Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.22 (Mandrake Linux/10.1mdk) mod_perl/1.26 PHP/4.0.6
SERVER_ADMIN = root@localhost
REMOTE_ADDR = 127.0.0.1
SCRIPT_NAME = /perl/registry.pl
SERVER_NAME = <myhost>
HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING = gzip,deflate
DOCUMENT_ROOT = /var/www/html
REQUEST_URI = /perl/registry.pl
HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET = ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
SCRIPT_FILENAME = /var/www/perl/registry.pl
REQUEST_METHOD = GET
PATH = /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
SERVER_PORT = 8200

Thanks for any pointers,

Ueli

Use the statement "SSLRequireSSL" in a DIRECTORY statement for the perl
scripts?

You might also want to play with Virtual Hosts and put the perl scripts
somewhere that only the SSL vhost can access.
