i think you'll find plenty more that is not documented in the pods.
when i started working on the eagle book with lincoln, i focused all
documention effort there. i had hoped at some point the mod_perl docs
would get a major overhaul, just hasn't happened yet. but patches have
been coming in to fill holes, more are always welcome.

$r->get_server_name is public, and is already used in Registry/PerlRun,
but $r->server->is_virtual is still used.
