regarding status_flags, should the accessor return a copy of the whole structure or just a pointer to it? where should the accessors reside: scoreboard or mod_status? Assuming that someone may want to use them without loading mod_status I think scoreboard is the right place and mod_status itself can use these. _____________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ticketmaster.com http://apacheweek.com http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/
