Apache perl question. May be off topic.

Sorry if this is off topic.  I am attempting to take a perl script I already have written to do something before attempting to port it to modperl.

 

I have used this method to pass request to certain files to be redirected to a perl script to produce dynamic content.  However, sometimes I would just like to pass it back to apache.  I know that this will be possible with modperl by returning DECLINED.

<Directory "/home/usr1/digital/html/protected">

AddHandler RTS-protected-htm htm

Action RTS-protected-htm /cgi-bin/content_manager/handler.pl

</Directory>

My question:  Is it possible to do this with perl.  I want to be able to pass some request for static documents that should end in .htm back to apache and let apache send them out throuhg the normal channels.

Thanks
