The [Filter] was a complete mystery fpr me upto now. I learned something
entirely new. 
Thanks.

Do you know whether there is any difference in overhead between eg a
perl cgi executable and a 
perl filter activated as you describe?

This choice seems to depend on whether you'd like to redirect 301
against individual 
document uris or complete directory uris.

A cgi script also offers the possibility of by-passing document
extensions and redirecting
complete virtual directory content through a cgi-alias (document or
directory name) to a 
script which would output headers for 307 with the appropriate choice of
location
depending on the path requested ( this would be in the environment extra
path ).

To Utku Uzmen:

I am sorry if there is any html formatting in my mail. This is Netscape
with the text editor
and I do not notice any formatting on my own copy. Please warn me if I'm
mistaken.
