I already had had a loop
for( my $srv=Apache2::ServerUtil->server; $srv; $srv=$srv->next ) {...}
But in the same function I had a variable named $s that also was a server
object. Now due to a simple spelling mistake inside the loop I had looked 5
times at $s instead of $srv wondering why my configuration was undef all the
time, ;-).
I think a document explaining the fundamental Apache/mod_perl data structures
in terms of C _and_ mod_perl would be good. Then it can be linked from the
rest of the docs. BTW, is there somewhere a good Apache API documentation?
All my knowledge about it comes from looking at mod_perl, mod_dir,
mod_rewrite, mod_ssl, etc.
