The names work fine for me. They are the same as Apache 2.0 uses, minus the leading HOOK_. Apache 1.3 didn't have that ability you had to fiddle with the AddModule directive order to get modules in the right order, it was a pain. I admit Apache is written in C and this is Perl, but still. In Apache REALLY_FIRST and REALLY_LAST are sort of reserved for special cases; you wouldn't normally use them. That leaves you with FIRST, MIDDLE, LAST where MIDDLE == DONTCARE. One thing Apache does that this doesn't though: With Apache 2.0 you can specify a list of modules names that should be before this one and a list of module names that should be after this one. I think internally Apache uses some type of tree structure for tracking the order of hooks. I don't know if that kind of behaviour would be useful here or not though. -- Tony Fraser [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sybaspace Internet Solutions System Administrator phone: (250) 246-5368 fax: (250) 246-5398 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
