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. -- Steven Lembark 2930 W.
