REST Server dispatching problem

[George1963]

Hi
I am writing a REST server but struggling to map the REST compliant logical URI to a physical URI.

All I have come up with so far is a RewriteRule directive in .htaccess which maps the logical URI to my handler cgi routine. This does the redirection ok, but I lose the query arguments, since I can not access the logical URL from within my program.

There has to be a better way than this, surely? Has anyone out there managed to write a REST server in Perl yet? Any pointers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

George

Follow up -

If only I had RTFM!
mod_rewrite documentation covers the voodoo required to extract values from the logical URI and pass them as parameters to your program.

Works a treat, but if you know a more elegant/efficient way to do REST dispatching, please let me know!

Cheers
