Robert - that's along the lines of what I'm after. My nuance is that I might
have several different configurations for the server - since there are
several
different containers that have different PerlSetVar directives.
In my example below a call to "/test" is going to have a different config
to a call to "/different" or a call to "/". How can I do three different
intializations for these different configurations and then keep track of
them for the remaining requests?
