OK, that makes sense. I was beginning to worry about my sanity :).

Oddly, the last line of the document (before the comments) says:

  So none of the above solutions should be necessary in mod_perl 2, but
  as of this writing, I doubt that Mason handles directories with
  mod_perl 2 at all.

I presume that's in relation to Mason.

Do you think that the --permute-module would option work in my case? Any
reason to use Apache::Dir in favor of reordering the modules (assuming
that one has complete control over the httpd binary)?


Thanks,
William
