actually, Apache::DBI is supposed to call Apache->can_push_handlers().
i originally submitted the patch to edmund for connect_on_init that used
can_push_handlers(), i guess he assumed Apache->can('push_handlers') would
do the same.
Apache::can_push_handlers was added long before UNIVERSAL::can existed in
the Perl core. it was also before xsubpp could properly support #ifdef in
.xs code. so i guess the right thing todo for modern Perls would be throw
away Apache::can_push_handlers and #ifdef PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS around
mod_perl_push_handlers() in Apache.xs
i doubt anything besides Apache::DBI is using Apache::can_push_handlers,
don't think its documented either.
