The patch is now in the stable httpd-2.0 tree. So it should be included with
2.0.48 or the latest 2.0.49. I'll update the docs.

Thanks Larry.
I'll hold off on committing this patch, as Philippe has submitted a patch to
httpd-dev that makes the old behavior possible. So if his patch is committed,
we will only add a note "that for httpd version < foo, you need to use <Perl
>" and keep the rest of the docs untouched. We are waiting for the feedback.
