I thought as much, but I was hoping that there'd be a way to trick into
feeding it through Perl, probably using the Perl sections. But I guess it
intervenes too early in the process. However it's a pity that there is no
way to use a perl filter at least within <Perl>. I wouldn't mind putting my
entire httpd.conf within a <Perl> section provided that I could use a
filter, and thus keep the Apache config syntax + custom directives done
this way. I guess that Perl sections are eval()ed, and unfortunately eval
doesn't work with filters.
