Apache is an open-source HTTP server, and is used to serve your site. Apache
handlers tell the server how to deal with web files that need to be processed
on the server. For example, Apache is set up to process files with .pl
extensions using Perl. However, if for some reason you also wanted to process
files with .script extension using Perl, then you would have to set up a
custom Apache handler for your site.
Note: People often get confused as to the difference between MIME
types and Apache handlers. Basically, MIME types tell your browser
how to handle files, while Apache handlers tell the server
how to handle files.
Warning: Check with your hosting administrator before
adding an Apache handler, as they can easily alter the correct functioning of
your web site.
