mapping URI to filename.

Using mod_perl2, is there a way of mapping a URI to a filename or
directory.

I can get the root directory for the server and I can append the URI to
it but this doesn't taking to account aliases, UserDir directives etc..

Any suggestions?

Anthony.

$r->filename()

Thanks but that only works for the current request. I was looking for a
way of translating some other URI to a pathname on the same server.

$r->lookup_uri('/some/uri')->filename()
