Weird: [mp2]

Greetings.
This happens on win32.

If the following is inserted in httpd.conf:

<Perl>
</Perl>

I get, reasonbly enough:

Syntax error on line 961 of D:/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
<Perl> sections not yet implemented in modperl-2.0

Tough, but fair. But why should the following:

<IfDefine fubar>
  <Perl>
  </Perl>
</IfDefine>

give me the totally unreasonable:

Syntax error on line 960 of D:/think4/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Expected </Perl>> but saw </Perl>

Obviously minor, but gave me about 15 mins. of head scratching...

Cheers,
alf

not sure, but likely an apache issue.  anyhow, in the cvs version of 
modperl-2.0, pluggable <Perl> sections have been implemented (see posting 
to the dev list).  somebody just needs to implement a default handler to 
actually convert the Perl code to apache config.
