Hi Rolf,
I'm waiting for my sysadmin to finish installing the mod_perl version
of the server. Until then, I've had to disable the auto-download.

This should work, provided you put the handler in the right place.
Look at the handler, if it says NewsClipper::Handler::Acquisition, it
should go into .NewsClipper/NewsClipper/Handler/Acquisition. ::Filter
goes into /Filter, and ::Output goes into /Output

I'm stalled on releasing the new version of News Clipper until the DB
is back at full strength. Plus I'm hoping to fix Log::Agent::Rotate so
that it doesn't trigger the 5.6 bug.

.NewsClipper, right? Configuration information on Unix systems often
goes into .foo directories.
