I've traced it down to this line :

         handler = modperl_handler_new(p, handler_name);

So basically, to be able to use the existing modperl_handler_* framework to
run <perl> sections, I am creating a brand new handler for each section,
creating that behaviour.

In the general case, where the handler will always be Apache::PerlSections,
this is quite wastfull. I've looked at what we have in modperl_handler and
I can't quite find a way to cleanly stash/retrieve my handler over each
iterations.

Best idea I can think of is to add an apr_table_t of <Perl> handlers in
scfg and search in there on each pass, creating if not already there.

Seems to me like I should be able to use modperl_handler_lookup_handlers
for this purpose, but I am not sure if it's possible.
