probably because it's 2.00_02 - the underscore keeps a module from being
indexed.

personally, I'm doing all of my mp2 modules with underscores until the cpan
mulitversioning thing gets figured out.

I never use the cpan shell myself, since it didn't work for me when I tried
to get it working many years ago :)

http://search.cpan.org is a very nice way to look for cpan stuff, as is just
poking around

  http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Apache/

anyway, the modules aren't identical - my interface is only available via $r
while yours is via the more proper $c.  but I happily would have added a $c
interface, at the very least to keep people searching CPAN from being
confused when they saw two interfaces.

you might want to have a peek at the module anyway, since it uses some tools
you haven't seemed to discover yet.  for instance, you don't need to use a
custom typemap if you're only using mod_perl types - use ModPerl::MM instead
of ExtUtils::MakeMaker and the default typemaps will be found.

also, see what happens when you run the test suite - the ssl certs are
generated for you automagically as part of Apache-Test ;)

there are also some httpd minimum versions you might want to worry about, as
well as not blowing up if mod_perl is loaded _before_ mod_ssl and the
optional hooks haven't been defined yet.

anyway, it's cool to see someone else hacking around with this stuff.  we
can use more people like you doing stuff, so keep it up :)
