I'm about to start porting Apache::Registry and friends to 2.0, and we are discussing this issue at [EMAIL PROTECTED], so if you aren't on this list yet and want to influence things early, make sure that you subscribe to the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and sound your voice if you have something interesting to say :) The archive of the list is here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl-dev&r=1&w=2#apache-modperl-dev I'll post soonish an initial design spec, and then we can discuss its merits. Meanwhile make sure that you are on the list. thanks. _____________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://apachetoday.com http://eXtropia.com/ http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/
