I have an unusual requirement for a poject im working on.

What I need to do is somehow make it so that an ip address is able to hit a folder but anyone not on that address will get a 404 or 403 message.

Im not much of a perl programmer however what i need it to do is this

_______________________________________________________________________________________ $ip = $r->remote_addr ; $request = "/htdocs/111222333444-123456789/blah/"; # this would be the $r->uri i think $ip =~ s/\.//g;

$request =~ /\/htdocs\/([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)\/blah\//; # matches the 111222333444 and 123456789 in the request if ($ip == $1){ print "allow"; # allow it to open the file/folder } else { print "404"; # send a 404 or 403 message to the client }

_______________________________________________________________________________________ I hope this example sort of shows what I need to happen, however I have no idea how to use the perl-embed module to make it work.
