hide script in url, how?

Hi,

is it possible to hide a script in an url that the user think that this
is a normal subdirectory like

http://www.server.com/exec/username
instead of
http://www.server.com/script.pl?username

ive tried an ALIAS but then the apache looks for script.pl/username

Ideas?

Thankx

SSI

Neigh, rewrite with mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?exec/(.*)$ /script.pl?$1

mod_rewrite is the most powerful tool for this:

On the other hand, defining an action-name for your script, setting this
action as a handler to a directory and have the script use the remaining
path for parameters, should do the job [faster] too...
