I like your suggestion, Torsten. Still should we put all 3rd party 
extensions into a single page, somewhere under
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/index.html
like, "3rd party Modules that Interface the Apache2 API". I think this 
will be the most suitable, since while we can mention Apache-ModSSL in the
Apache/Connection.html, things like mod_include glue don't already have a 
manpage.

If you agree with this approach, could you start with creating such a pod 
and add yours and any other relevant existing modules and also explain in 
the Description that only modules that provide glue for the Apache API 
(core and its modules) are listed in that document.

thanks.
