i'm using potato-friendly apache-perl which is version 1.3.9:
% apache -v

downtown--within the macro construct, no less:
NameVirtualHost ##.##.##.##
<Macro Virtual $h $p>

<VirtualHost ##.##.##.##>

</Macro>
(i think i had to do something to 'wake up' the macro facility,
but dang if i can recall what...)
said macros are called thusly, further down in httpd.conf:
Use Virtual "easydxftype.serensoft.com" "/var/www/bryce"
Use Virtual "dontUthink.com" "/var/www/puz"
Use Virtual "flint.dontUthink.com" "/var/www/flint"
(and you'd need a DNS server to back up your naming instances, of
course...)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #15 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Is there a good place to learn snarky PERL TECHNIQUES? One of
my favorites is http://webtechniques.com, where Randall Schwartz
contributes a monthly sample, explaining line-by-line what his
code does, and why. (Look under "Programming with Perl" in the
archives.)
Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
