Just write a good PerlTransHandler. I do that all the time. I tossed
mod_rewrite long ago. Arcane syntax, many special variables, heavily
dependent on regular expressions and special operators... how could
anything like that ever catch on? {grin}

I am not sure (it might be nice if someone could clarify) but I think that
mod_rewrite has to launch it as an external program each time it does this.
It strikes me that this would be expensive?
But I am not sure. Maybe mod_rewrite can cache the program output?
