mod rewrite and rewritemap

I am unable to get the perl script to run with this rewritemap directive.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteMap guard prg:/path/rewrite_test/guard.pl

RewriteRule ^/secure1/(.*)$ /secure2/${guard:$1} [P,L]

The url gets rewritten but the guard.pl script does not run. I put some routines to write into a test file so that I could see if it runs and it does not.

I read something about a lock file directive.

RewriteLock file_path

and tried

RewriteLock /home/johnm/sites/goldclubno/cgi-bin/rewrite_test/lock_file

but the directive is not well defined.



Any thoughts appreciated.

thanks

jm

did you try to use filenames without spaces or using double quotes for these?
