I am perhaps seriously missing your point. The stuff in chapter 8 is
mainly about httpd.conf -- custom config directives for you module and
using perl to configure apache. There's nothing really there about
.htaccess. If you are planning to use PerlSetVar directives in .htaccess,
there's nothing special you need to do other than read their value. On pp
455-456, check the description of dir_config(). From what your describing
below, you don't need to make custom directives, and anyway, PerSetVar and
custom directives are two entirely different things. You simply use them,
you don't define them in Makefile.PL.
Or am I simply missing what you're trying to do?
