Sure id love to see that script... to be completely
hones im still kinda new to perl even... Im getting it
slowly... Anyway, im just looking to achieve my goal
and that is to have a working script/perl module that
can switchout config based on incomming URI... a
perfect example would be the one im working on now...
the Subversion/Dav one...
