... in .conf files

[Rasmus Lerdorf <ra...@lerdorf.on.ca>]

I poked around in the mod_perl sources but got a tad lost.  Could someone
here post a short point-form summary of where the hooks are to allow a
parser to parse things in the Apache .conf files at startup?  

With the cool new PHP3 parser, I am looking at letting people put PHP
scripts in the Apache conf files.

Damn we never did get the better interface to this done.  There is no
direct interface, you have to play with the core functions.  My proposed
solution was to add a "getline" function pointer to the cmd_params
structure, and use that as a callback into mod_perl to get the next line
of config.  Then mod_perl wouldn't have to know much except how to set up
a cmd_params and call the processing loop (whatever it's called, I
forget).
