See the section on configuring Apache using <Perl> sections
in the eagle book. I normally use the approach of having each
user's .*profile export APACHE_PORT and using $Port = $ENV{APACHE_PORT}
or croak "$$: Environment missing APACHE_PORT"; for the user's
config files. Using the "nobody" approach works well enough,
but the separate ports allow developers to have their own server
on a high-numbered port w/o stepping on one another.
