Andrew Ford's reference card lists them (not sure of the URL).  
As far as I can tell, they are fairly straightforward if you keep 
in mind that they are copies of constants used in Apache and 
HTTP.  For example, HTTP_* constants are typically status codes 
in the protocol. M_* constants are HTTP methods.

I don't know of anyplace that treats the constants specifically.  
They are usually incidental to doing something.

Thanks, I have the complete list. It is given in 
man Apache::Constants

What I'm trying to do is figure out how to use them. The two above 
OK, and DECLINED can be returned to an internal call from the auth 
portion of Apache and will allow it to proceed or bomb. I'd like to 
find out what the rest do. From their names many of them appear like 
they could be quite useful.
