dir_config and Apache::Table confusion

[Bj�rn Ola Smievoll <b....@usit.uio.no>]

If I do this:

$r->print($r->dir_config('key'));     

 Then key is printed.
 If I then do this:

my $tab = $r->dir_config;
$r->print(Dumper($tab));   # Using Data::Dumper

 I get '$VAR1 = bless( {}, 'Apache::Table' )';
 It's empty, how come?

No comments?  Could this be regarded as a bug or am I doing something
stupid?  How should I go about following up on this, post to
dev@perl.apache.org?
