CHANGES:
* License: People asked me to redistribute mod_perl Guide in other
ways than just mirroring the mod_perl site. Therefore I've licensed
the guide under GPL and included the required info in the CPAN
package.
* perl:
o added "Using Non-Hardcoded Configuration Module Names" (Chris Winters)
* debug:
o updated: "How can I find out if a mod_perl code has a memory leak"
o rewritten:
Handling the 'User pressed Stop button' case
Detecting Aborted Connections
The Importance of Cleanup Code
Critical Section
Safe Resource Locking and Cleanup Code
* config:
o added a sub header "Running CGI, PerlRun, and Registry Scripts
located in the same Directory" to make the info more prominent to
find. (Ron Pero)
o PerlAddVar info was added
* control
o "Swapping Prevention" rewritten from scratch and moved from
performance chapter to control chapter (Ed Phillips, Barrie
Slaymaker, Joshua Chamas)
o "Preparing for Machine Reboot" -- added a section describing the
chkconfig(8) use (Andreas Koenig)
* porting:
o the wrong suggested solution to the nested sub problem was
spotted!!! (Hunter Monroe, Hailei Dai) it's fixed now.
o update: "Terminating requests and processes, the exit() and
child_terminate() functions" -- under perl5.6 you don't need to
override exit anymore! (Doug, Eric Cholet)
o s/PerlTaintMode/PerlTaintCheck/ (Gunther Birznieks)
* review:
o Mark Summerfield has reviewed these chapters: modules,
browserbugs, security and start.

Apache::Request::param" were merged into a single section called:
"Apache::args vs Apache::Request::param vs CGI::param"

Schaefer)
o rewritten:
+ Apache::Registry PerlHandler versus Custom PerlHandler
