Great!  I've been running mod_perl 2.0.0-RC4 in production for a while now and 
it runs fine.  I've got an Apache 2.0 web server running which is why I use 
mod_perl 2.0.

I learned with mod_perl-2.0.0-RC6 that previous mod_perl installations were not 
compatible, requiring removal of those installations before installing 
(including building) mod_perl-2.0.0-RC6.  Will there be a documented migration 
path from pre-mod_perl-2.0.0-RC6 releases to mod_perl-2.0.0 when it is 
officially released or will I just have to bite the bullet and temporarily 
remove mod_perl from Apache's config, remove the old one and then install the 
new one?  Or is that the migration path?

Thanks...

Peace...
