Question

I just converted over from using PHP to Perl for a script that hosts API commands.

As php, the .htaccess looked like:

RewriteRule ^api/?$ api.php [L]
RewriteRule ^api/?([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,})?/?$ api.php?command=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^api/?([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,})?/?([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,})?/?$ api.php?command=$1&key=$2 [QSA,L]

End result was executing with a url like http://example.com/api/command/key (where api is the script name), worked as intended.

Switching over to Perl, visiting http://example.com/api redirects to http://example.com/usr/lib/cgi-bin/api.pl which doesn't work in the slightest, and also looks hideous. I've tried everything I can think of with .htaccess and serve-cgi-bin.conf , but nothing works for me. It doesn't really matter which folder I need to put the api.pl in, as long as the folder name and extension don't appear in the url.

How can I get the desired url?

You should only need to replace the api.php with cgi-bin/api.pl in your rules.

RewriteRule ^api/?$ cgi-bin/api.pl [L]
RewriteRule ^api/?([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,})?/?$ cgi-bin/api.pl?command=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^api/?([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,})?/?([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,})?/?$ cgi-bin/api.pl?command=$1&key=$2 [QSA,L]

You can use a tool like htaccess.madewithlove.be to test your rules.
