Thanks a lot for that. I think I will go into this direction. i have downloaded IndigoPerl along with Apache. Further to what you said about apachectl, it seems that this command does not exist under Windows, but we have to use instead "apache -k". If I understand you well, apachectl allows me to call the perl script and then start the server by invoking httpd.exe?

Yours is the classic problem that arises when you need to configure apache dynamically at run-time. As you've probably realised by now, all apache does at the config stage is to read in a long text string (ie, httpd.conf). There is very limited opportunity to define anything dynamically and as for logical constructs, forget it... :-( The solution a lot of people use is to write a script (eg, Perl) to generate the config file and then call this script at the start of apachectl (eg, /path/to/config_script > /path/to/httpd.conf). You then have the full power of your scripting language to import environment variables, modify them, apply conditional clauses and you can use loops to cut down on repetition. It's a bit of an effort to convert from a static to dynamic config initially, but once it's working you'll never look back...
