in 2.0 'httpd -t' will not run any Perl code. it might when <Perl>
sections are implemented, in which case would should be able to set
PL_minus_c = 1 (same as perl -c switch)

you're talking 2.0, right? it will be made to work the same as 1.xx, only
bootstrapping the .so when inside httpd.

yeah, haven't thought about it too much. but, since APR can be used
outside of httpd, and we can alloc request_rec and similar structures, it
should be possible to bootstrap an inside-httpd interface and
outside-httpd interface. its not really worthwhile looking at until APR
actually installs its *.so or *.a libraries somewhere apxs can find
them. and, there's a bunch of util functions (e.g. URI stuff) that is
supposed to move from httpd into apr-util.
