EmbPerl 2.0RC1 Config on SuSE 9.1

[Neal Gamradt]

First off, I thought I would give a hint to anyone installing EmbPerl 2.0RC1 
on SuSE 9.1, I had to make a symlink "embperl.so" to "Embperl.so" because of 
the way modules have to be added through /etc/sysconfig/apache2.  I had to 
then add the following to the APACHE_MODULES variable in the 
/etc/sysconfig/apache2 file:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i586-linux-thread-multi/auto/Embperl/embperl.so
Generally I am a fan of SuSE, but this was made much more difficult than it 
had to be.

Anyway, I have a quick question about Configuring EmbPerl 2.0RC1 on SuSE 
9.1.  I have set up the following:

1.  Added embperl.so to the /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf file 
using the above method (through SuSE's /etc/sysconfig/apache2 file).

2.  Added "use Embperl::Object" to startup.pl
3.  Added the following into my default-server.conf file:
PerlRequire /srv/www/test.scriptlink.org/bin/startup.pl
<Directory "/srv/www/test.scriptlink.org/htdocs">
       EMBPERL_OPTIONS 16
       EMBPERL_ESCMODE 0
       EMBPERL_DEBUG 0
       EMBPERL_APPNAME scriptlink
       EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE BASE.ept
       AddHandler perl-script .epl
       AddHandler perl-script .html
       PerlHandler Embperl::Object
       AllowOverride AuthConfig
       Options Includes ExecCGI
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
</Directory>
I am wondering if that is the best place to put the "PerlRequire"?  I am 
also wondering the above Directory settings are somehow worse than:

<Directory "/srv/www/test.scriptlink.org/htdocs">
       EMBPERL_OPTIONS 16
       EMBPERL_ESCMODE 0
       EMBPERL_DEBUG 0
       EMBPERL_APPNAME scriptlink
       EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE BASE.ept
      EMBPERL_URIMATCH "\.html.?|\.epl$"
      SetHandler perl-script
       PerlHandler Embperl::Object
       AllowOverride AuthConfig
       Options Includes ExecCGI
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
</Directory>
I like using "AddHandler" instead of EMBPERL_URIMATCH.  Any input would be 
greatly appreciated.

I have been reading through the Changes.pod file that came with Embperl 
2.0RC1.  What do the people in this list feel are the biggest chanages 
between Embperl 1 and Embperl 2?  Gerald, is there a template I can use to 
start updating the online documentation for Embperl 2.0?  What do you feel 
are the most crutial things to get updated in the documentation?  Thanks.
