section syntax--where's tfm?

[will trillich]

this almost works. but i can't find the docs explaining why not:

#httpd.conf
<Perl>
  use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler ();
  use Apache::Constants ();
  require '/var/www/mtinker/mason.pl';
  $VirtualHost{"127.0.0.1"} = [
    {
      DocumentRoot => '/var/www',
      Alias => '/icons/ /usr/share/apache/icons/',
      FilesMatch => {
        '(\.html?|\.md|\.mason|^[^\.]+)$' => {
          SetHandler => 'perl-script',
          PerlHandler => 'HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler',
        },
        '(\.mc$)' => {
          SetHandler => 'perl-script',
          PerlHandler => 'Apache::Constants::NOT_FOUND',
        },
      },
      Location => {
        '/mtinker/' => {
#         PerlRequre  => '/var/www/mtinker/mason.pl',
          SetHandler  => 'perl-script',
          PerlHandler => 'tinker::mason::handler',
        },
        '/' => {
          Limit => {
            METHODS => 'GET POST',
            Order => 'allow,deny', # WTF? no workee
            Allow => 'from any',   # WTF? no workee
          },
        },
      },
    },
#   {
#     another virtual host config here, eventually...
#   },
  ];
</Perl>

http://perl.apache.org/guide/config.html mentions this type of
thing in passing, but surely there's an in-depth
"how-this-works" somewhere...

<Limit GET POST>
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Limit>

how would we know to translate that to

  ...
  Limit => {
    METHODS => 'GET POST',
    Order => 'allow,deny',
    Allow => 'from all',
  },
instead of to
  Limit => {
    'GET POST' => {
      Order => 'allow,deny',
      Allow => 'from all',
    }
  }

for example? where's the blinkin' manual? or maybe someone has a
large perl config that the rest of us can glean from? hmm?
