if you can find the problem, LET ME KNOW. i'm on the verge
of a breakdown.

at the end of my http.conf i've got:

        PerlRequire "startup.pl"

the entire listing for startup.pl is:

        package Apache::ReadConfig;

        Apache->httpd_conf("Clavis");
        Apache->httpd_conf("</Frammistat>");
        Apache->httpd_conf("<Chibblewink> 1/2%3'*");
        Apache->httpd_conf("isn't this wonderful?");

so i try
        # apachectl configtest
        [Fri Apr 21 16:19:25 2000] [error] Can't locate object method
"httpd_conf" via package "Apache" at startup.pl line 7.

        Syntax error on line 280 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
        Can't locate object method "httpd_conf" via package "Apache" at
startup.pl line 7.

i change the bottom of my http.conf to:

        <perl>
        do "startup.pl";
        </perl>

and then i do

        # apachectl graceful
        /usr/sbin/apachectl graceful: httpd gracefully restarted

there are no complaints, no log messages, no problems reported.

the perl code runs. apache reloads its settings, as if
the perl code were empty.

the execution of the code does NOTHING; it's IGNORED completely.

anybody got any ideas?
