PerlCleanupHandler semantic?

Hi,

what should the exact semantic of a PerlCleanupHandler be when 
PerlInterpScope==handler?

I am not asking what it is but what it should be.

A PerlCleanupHandler can be installed in httpd.conf or via $r->add_config or 
by $r->{push|set}_handlers.

a) all cleanup handlers are called when the request is over. In this case I 
think the interpreter should stick to the request just like with 
scope==request.

b) cleanups are called when the interpreter is released. With scope==handler 
this means cleanups are run just after the first phase that needs an 
interpreter. Now one can argue that only the cleanups installed by
{push|set}_handlers in the same phase are to be called when the interpreter is 
destroyed but handlers installed via httpd.conf or add_config are to be 
called when the request is over. Variations on this theme are possible.

And are cleanups to be run once per request or once per interpreter?
