Re: Any tips or hints?
I am perhaps seriously missing your point. The stuff in chapter 8 is
mainly about httpd.conf -- custom config directives for you module and
using perl to configure apache. There's nothing really there about
.htaccess. If you are planning to use PerlSetVar directives in .htaccess,
there's nothing special you need to do other than read their value. On pp
455-456, check the description of dir_config(). From what your describing
below, you don't need to make custom directives, and anyway, PerSetVar and
custom directives are two entirely different things. You simply use them,
you don't define them in Makefile.PL.
Or am I simply missing what you're trying to do?

There's a new man page being created:

Perhaps I've misread something. I was trying to make my module,
Apache::TimeOut, usable on CPAN. I wrote this module to provide
configurable timeouts for certain web pages. I am just trying to
find a way to put this is in the CPAN archive. Any good links on
making the Makefile.PL, the documentation, and the .tar.gz file
needed to list this on CPAN?
Thanks,
JJ
