Hi all,
I'm trying to find the class/ method which allows me to get the physical
path base on the uri. Something similar to Server.MapPath('/index.htm')
in ASP.NET.
Any advise is appreciated. Thanks.

$r->document_root . $r->uri
but that won't actually tell you if that file exists, it's just where
you'd probably expect that file to reside. Not having any idea how that
ASP.NET function works, i don't know if that really answers your
question or not.

Thanks for replying. In my case it's a wee bit more complicated (forgot
to mention).
Thing is, I have alias-ed a path (eg. alias /thisuri c:/wwwroot) in the
web server, so $r->uri may not point to the right location.
Is there a generic method so that given any uri as a parameter, the
library can do the math and return the physical path?

$r->filename by the looks of things.

I'm not sure if that's the one. From the docs (your ref link):
filename
Get/set the filename on disk corresponding to this response (the result
of the URI --> filename translation).
Sounds like this method assigns a file to the uri instead.

If you look for the filename for $r->uri, that means the uri of the
current request then $r->filename holds that after the map-to-storage
phase.
If you need a general method to map an arbitrary URI to a filename then
it is a subrequest:
my $subr=$r->lookup_uri($uri);
if( $subr->status == Apache2::Const::OK and
-f $subr->filename ) {
$filename=$subr->filename;
}
But keep in mind that it may result in quite unusual filenames if you
use the mod_proxy handler for example. Also, the file may not exist.
The status 404 is generated only in the response phase. Further, you
must perhaps check $subr->path_info for being empty.
