Since I believe I'm the one that started this thread, I'd love to see
some code to enable handlers on the fly. In my case I only have perhaps
a half-dozen handlers, but multiply this times a lot of virtual hosts
and it then becomes a great boon.
IMHO, I think this would be a very useful module to people like me who
are beginning the transition to Apache handlers. One other thing that I
would love is a module to do checkboxes/pull-down list generation ALA
CGI.pm. I might rip off some code and create a module myself. I think it
would be a good first project (or maybe not - who knows until I try?)
