Catchall ScriptAlias and error handling

Hi all,

I searched the internet for a wile now and couldn't find an answer to my question.
We have the following situation:

a) In a virtual host configuration we have several Alias entries pointing to several
directories and files
b) At the end of the config we have a ScriptAliasMatch entry of the form
ScriptAliasMatch ^(.*)$ /some/directory/doit.pl$1
and

SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
Options +ExecCGI


It works as expected in regards to the "catchall" behaviour of the script.
BUT: We would like the following. As soon as a file in one of the aliased directories is not found
the server should return the standard error message. At the moment a subrequest hits the perl
handler doit.pl.

Now my question: How can I achieve the desired behaviour?
Is there a way to internally redirect to the apache standard error handler?
How can I identify these kinds of subrequests?

Best regards
Andreas

What's in this server? I'd probably use mod_rewrite for this, since
it would be on the frontend proxy. If you're running a small in-house
server and don't need a proxy, you could turn this all into a
PerlTransHandler instead.
