Moreover the prefix ideally should be: APACHE_TEST_ and not APACHE_, since we already have a bunch of env vars which start with APACHE_TEST_ (), such as: APACHE_TEST_TRACE_LEVEL APACHE_TEST_STARTUP_TIMEOUT APACHE_TEST_DEBUG_LWP APACHE_TEST_HOSTTYPE APACHE_TEST_HOSTNAME APACHE_TEST_SEED and more... So may be it's better to move to: httpd => 'APACHE_TEST_HTTPD', user => 'APACHE_TEST_USER', group => 'APACHE_TEST_GROUP', apxs => 'APACHE_TEST_APXS', port => 'APACHE_TEST_PORT', Hoping that most people don't rely on the APACHE and APXS env vars yet, we can just drop them, or we could have a back-compat support for APACHE and APXS for some time. Though I'm in favor to just drop them, making everybody move to the better API. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:stas@stason.org http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
