you should be able to put them both in the same place
package My::Foo;
use Apache2::ServerUtil;
Apache2::ServerUtil->server->add_config('PerlChildInitHandler My::init');
Apache2::ServerUtil->server->add_config('PerlCleanupHandler My::cleanup');
sub handler {
...
and provided you PerlModule your package it _should_ work...

it doesn't? that's very odd. if you can't do that then there's no reason
to have the PerlChildInitHandler, then, is there?

via add_config() would be the way I would handle that.

using a startup file instead of the package should work, too. see
t/response/TestAPI/add_config.pm for an example.

just add_config() I think.
