Hi Graham,

Scarey aint it? I'm fairly certain Stas knows the <a name"#??"> for this
from the guide.. and most certainly would/will kindly point you to it.
(too lazy to find it myself)

If you're running both version _in_ the same server, you're most
definately experiencing namespace problems (package names).

I'd suggest running two httpd's and devising a way to pull in the
modules without having to s/beta/live/ package names. (I push @INC with
a private area in /usr/local/apache/conf/FOO, which exists in both my
beta && live dirs).

The guide truly is your friend, massive as it may be :)
