ah, right. it's because you use LoadModule for embperl, right? writing a module that relies on mod_perl this way is probably fairly uncommon. maybe axkit, but I doubt many others. but since we inherit from your httpd.conf changing the current behavior would mean you wouldn't even be able to test mod_perl since apache wouldn't even start? hmph. --Geoff
