Exactly, the old way was like so:
first httpd config files read (mod_perl skips this pass)
first init_modules (mod_perl fires up Perl runtime)
second httpd config files read (mod_perl now handles <Perl> sections)
second init_module (mod_perl skips this pass)

Looks like this will work.  I'll try it out later and try to cut a
current from-cvs compatible mod_perl version tonight.

Just reverting back to the old behaviour is fine with me ... the vhash
message is a debugging message and can be switched to the new log stuff or
something.
