Assuming this is for the benefit of CPAN/CPANPLUS to install
dependencies, doesn't this run into a couple of problems
that, in particular, Stas has raised:
- CPAN doesn't yet support multiple module versions, only
the latest (which currently is mp1, as mp2 is marked as
a development version);
- if someone had mp2 installed in an Apache2/ subdirectory,
CPAN/CPANPLUS wouldn't see it unless somehow 'use Apache2'
was invoked to adjust @INC;
What about requiring 'Apache' for mp1-related modules (since
'Apache' doesn't exist within mp2), and for mp2 modules,
requiring 'Apache2' (which doesn't exist within mp1)?
