I found a description of its use in a 1.3 module at http://www.kuzbass.ru:8086/docs/apache_c_mod_perl/164.htm That example showed ap_error_log2stderr() as a small part of a fairly convoluted way of creating a child process which is no longer applicable with the APIs provided with APR. I think the required assumptions are simply: . helper APIs provided by 2.x are designed for modules which use APR features as appropriate (if there is a reasonable APR way to do something then httpd won't provide alternatives) . APR provides the ability to have the child process use same error handle as parent . 2.x error handle refers to the error log during any processing phases where modules would create child processes Any further comments from the crowd? It looks to me that it can be yanked from 2.1-dev.
