I have a number of applications built around mod_perl 1.0 and I am
considering porting these over to 2.0.

One of the questions that has come up here recently is can mod_perl modify
the httpd configuration dynamically after server startup.  

We currently build the server configuration from entries in a sql database
which means that we can add customer specific sites by configuring entries
in our database.  The benefit of this approach is that we are not having to
do dynamic calls for all pages.  However it does mean that we have to
restart the server when we want a new part of the site available.  I have
considered using a hybrid approach of static configuration on server startup
and dynamic for anything that is created after startup.  It would be great
if I could effectively create a /Location or /Alias entry dynamically
through perl code.  Is this possible in either 1.0 or 2.0.
