Can someone point me to a URL that describes the purpose of the

I don't believe one exists (yet) ... possibly a good idea for the

The general idea as I've got it is:
1. Apache::*
Module works under mp1
Possibly works under mp2
Example: Apache::DBI v0.98 (both)
Example: Apache::Peek (mp1)
Note: I'm working on porting this one as we speak
to work under both.
2. Apache2::*
Module works under mp2 only
Example: Apache2::AuthNTLM
The decision is basically left up to the individual maintainers at the
moment. The benefit of 1 is that you have 1 code base. The benefit of
2 is that you remove the if/else logic and clearly mark the module as
mp2 only.

Yes, it does. Thank you very much. Do you have any example code you
could share with me for places in my code where I have to use an
Apache:: module on some servers, but Apache2:: module on another. I'd
like to keep one code base.
For example, one piece of my code has
use Apache::Const
but I had to change that to use Apache2::Const on the server running the
lastest mod_perl.
Can you give me the logic to handle that properly in a single code file.
Thanks again.
