A variation of this might be to do like the current scripts/ hiearchy on CPAN does - instruct authors to have in their .pm files some recognizeable pod like =head1 APACHE CATEGORY Databases, Miscellaneous =head1 MODPERL VERSION Any and then parse these files to extract the information for an apache module list. best regards, randy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
