Hi, At http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/custom.html#C_SERVER_CREATE_it should be noted about this function (and also about DIR_CREATE) that it will be called if there is at least one custom directive present in httpd.conf.
So setting so called 'system defaults' is not possible this way because if you do not have at least one directive in your httpd.conf, then the server configuration object will not get initialised. For example if I have this in MyParams.pm: sub SERVER_CREATE { my ($class, $parms) = @_; return bless { 'name' => __PACKAGE__, 'MyParam1' => '2', 'MyParam2' => '4', }, $class; } and in my httpd.conf I want to get server defaults by commenting out some MyParam values like PerlLoadModule MyParams #MyParam1 1 #MyParam2 0 then if in my code I try to access the server configuration object like this my $srv_cfg = Apache2::Module::get_config('MyParams', Apache2::ServerUtil->server); I get undef. Is this a bug or a feature? The documentation suggests that it will be called all the time and event suggests to use it to preset some values here if necessary. Regards, Zsolt Kecskemeti
