+=head1 mod_perl 1.x Compatibility
+C<Apache::compat> provides mod_perl 1.x compatibility feature, which
+allows C<Apache::Registry> from mod_perl 1.x to be used:
+
+ startup.pl:
+ -----------
+ use Apache::compat ();
+ use lib ...; #or something to find 1.xx Apache::Registry
+
+then in I<httpd.conf>:
+
+ Alias /perl /path/to/perl/scripts
+ <Location /perl>
+ Options +ExecCGI
+ SetHandler modperl
+ PerlResponseHandler Apache::Registry
+ </Location>
+
+Notice that C<Apache::compat> has to be loaded before C<CGI.pm> if the
+latter module is used.

- core Apache::SubProcess w/ proper CORE::GLOBAL::{fork,exec} support
+- Apache::compat has to be loaded before CGI.pm, other than
+ documenting this issue, it's possible that we will add:
+
+ #ifdef MP_APACHE_COMPAT
+ modperl_require_module("Apache::compat");
+ #endif

+ if MP_APACHE_COMPAT Makefile.PL option is true, but this carries a
