PerlAddVar alternative in v1.21

[Vladislav Shchogolev]

Hello,

I'm using mod_perl 1.21 on a host where i don't have the option of upgrading
mod_perl. Is there an alternative way to use PerlSetVar to simulate the
effect of PerlAddVar. I want to create a variable, namely MasonCompRoot,
that has two entries in it.

Thanks,
Vlad

I think I just read in the eagle book the other day that suggested something like

PerlSetVar MasonCompRoot foo:bar

my @roots = split :, $r-dir_config('MasonCompRoot');

or whatever...

Except that the code that read the dir_config is part of the Mason core.
Of course, changing it is entirely possible but it doesn't fix the problem
that Mason, by default, has certain features which are not available on
older mod_perl versions.  But we can live with that.
