I just wanted to verify that accessing it this way worked ... On
my XP machine (ActivePerl 631, based on perl-5.6.1) and with
httpd-2/modperl-2 from cvs I too find that accessing dir_config
values from a server object doesn't work - it just returns an
empty value. The modperl-2 server object tests run OK, but the
dir_config tests result in a server error when trying to set a
dir_config value from the request object (this occurs after the
tests involving getting a value, but before accessing it from the
server object). I've verified that accessing dir_config thru a
server object gives an APR::Table object, and the table tests
pass; this looks like a more detailed analysis is needed ...
