Hi All

Is there a way to apply a RewriteRule only on index pages say index.htm &
index.html that will call a script? Here is what I'm using now but it
applies it to every page viewed.

RewriteRule . /cgi-bin/script.pl

Thanks in advance

ScriptAlias /index.html /www/cgi-bin/script.pl

or (my preferred option)

DirectoryIndex index.html /cgi-bin/script.pl ...
