Writing an EAPI interface for mod_perl would be cool. Actually with EAPI Doug
also could solve the nasty "PERL_SSI doesn't work under DSO" problem, because
with EAPI mod_include could use mod_perl even under the DSO situation. For
getting the SSL_XXX variables from mod_perl all you've to do is to write an XS
function which calls mod_ssl the same way mod_rewrite does it to resolve SSL
variables.
