considering you can do this:
package My::Module;
$Apache::ReadConfig::Location{'/'}->{PerlCleanupHandler}
= join '::', __PACKAGE__, 'cleanup';
sub cleanup {
my $r = shift;
warn "cleanup in $$\n";
}
cleanup() will be called without touching httpd.conf.
a small module to cut down the noise should do the trick for you.
checking all packages by default would be far too expensive to be a
standard feature.
