hah. same story now, just a different week.

CDF doesn't insist on Apache 1 or 2 when you install it or use it in 
simple ways. It only becomes an issue if you want to use the handler 
base class that comes with it. The documentation needs to be clearer on 
that point, I think.

Used by itself CDF is just a quick way of bundling classes together 
that makes very few assumptions about how things should be done. Used 
with its Handlers, Exceptions and other supporting machinery it becomes 
sort of instant mod_perl application - just add data - and consequently 
has far more entailments and makes many more assumptions. As always, 
its usefulness to you will depend on how closely those assumptions 
match your own.
