No, I only use a .htaccess in the ./site/eg samples for portability.
VirtualHost, Directory, Location tags can all have their own
PerlSetVar configs. I use <Files> style tags in VirtualHosts personally,
so I can mix media.

The reason to use UniquePackages is when you want to defined subs
in scripts that might have the same name without having them conflict.
However subs should be decomped to a perl module if possible.

my scoping variables does this for you and is generally good coding
practice. Also, set UseStrict, and this will complain about variables
not my scoped or declared as globals with "use vars qw()"

You can probably do this if you need to by having ...
package some_package;
in your script. If you do this though, you will need to
reference ASP objects with $main::Server->Function() syntax.
