NAME
       Apache::PerlSections - Utilities for work with <Perl> sections

SYNOPSIS
           use Apache::PerlSections ();

DESCRIPTION
       It is possible to configure you server entirely in Perl using <Perl>
       sections in httpd.conf.  This module is here to help you with such a
       task.

METHODS
       dump
           This method will dump out all the configuration variables mod_perl
           will be feeding the the apache config gears.  The output is
           suitable to read back in via "eval".

           Example:

            <Perl>

            use Apache::PerlSections ();

            $Port = 8529;

            $Location{"/perl"} = {
                SetHandler => "perl-script",
                PerlHandler => "Apache::Registry",
                Options => "ExecCGI",
            };

            @DocumentIndex = qw(index.htm index.html);

            $VirtualHost{"www.foo.com"} = {
                DocumentRoot => "/tmp/docs",
                ErrorLog => "/dev/null",
                Location => {
                    "/" => {
                        Allowoverride => 'All',
                        Order => 'deny,allow',
                        Deny  => 'from all',
                        Allow => 'from foo.com',
                    },
                },
            };

            print Apache::PerlSections->dump;

            </Perl>

           This will print something like so:

            package Apache::ReadConfig;
            #scalars:

            $Port = 8529;

            #arrays:

            @DocumentIndex = (
              'index.htm',
              'index.html'
            );

            #hashes:

            %Location = (
              '/perl' => {
                PerlHandler => 'Apache::Registry',
                SetHandler => 'perl-script',
                Options => 'ExecCGI'
              }
            );

            %VirtualHost = (
              'www.foo.com' => {
                Location => {
                  '/' => {
                    Deny => 'from all',
                    Order => 'deny,allow',
                    Allow => 'from foo.com',
                    Allowoverride => 'All'
                  }
                },
                DocumentRoot => '/tmp/docs',
                ErrorLog => '/dev/null'
              }
            );

            1;
            __END__

       store
           This method will call the "dump" method, writing the output to a
           file, suitable to be pulled in via "require".

           Example:

              Apache::PerlSections->store("httpd_config.pl");

              require 'httpd_config.pl';
