Hi,

Most people running mod_perl might have a check on this already, but here goes:

The standard configuration as introduced into apache's config files by doing ebuild config on the mod_perl package has a flaw: The global (not user-specific) mod_perl directory is indexable.

To work around this issue, simply change the section in apache's commonapache.conf:
Code:
<Location /perl/*.pl>

into
Code:
<Location /perl>


If you've enabled the additional /cgi-perl directory, do the same for the Location line for that as well.

Regards,
/Stary
