Shouldn't be too hard. We have Define, Module and File. Define could be extended also to test the content of an env var. There may be more, but that looks like a good start!

They should really not look so similar. Interesting thought. Maybe worth a brief brainstorm in Seville this week (I see you're on #apachecon). -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
