I hope I understood this correctly, so apologies if I didn't.

You can't 'remove' configuration directives you've injected
in httpd. And those are very *global* and would affect
much more than the current request.

You don't reset the configuration, but you simply take a different
approach.

Instead of trying to inject httpd configuration, your MapToStorage handler
needs to emulate Alias/Location directives. For instance, if you needed
to Alias /foo to /var/www/foo, instead of doing what I believe you are currently
doing:

$r->add_config(["Alias /foo /var/www/foo"]);

Simply do what mod_alias would have done...

$r->filename(File::Spec->catfile("/var/www", $r->uri));

And you get pre-request behaviour just like you wanted. And it's tons faster 
too ;-)
