mailing list highlights

  o The call for papers for ApacheCon US 2001 is upon us [8]

  o A very detailed post was put forward describing the (current, but
    previously undocumented) behavior of mod_proxy. [9]  This entire
    thread is definitely worth the time.

  o A rather lengthy thread on trying to install mod_perl on 
    Alpha/Tru64 should prove enlightening for those who are trying to
    get started on this platform. [10]

  o Using Apache::File->tmpfile() with $r->send_fd requires calling
    seek $fh, 0, 0; prior to calling $r->send_fd.  In a follow up, the
    differences between seek and sysseek, open and sysopen were 
    explained. [11]

  o mod_perl security discussed from the standpoint of allowing
    thousands of developers access to mod_perl's power [12]

  o There may be a bug in mod_perl <Perl> sections that does not
    allow for duplicate directives within the same location [13] [14]
