It's documented:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/ServerRec.html#C_next_
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/server.html#C_PerlOpenLogsHandler_

Torsten, if you think we could add a xref to this technique elsewhere that 
it'd make it easier to find it, please suggest. I agree that it's not easy 
to do now, unless you know things well.

e.g. may be a xref from:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/server.html#C_PerlPostConfigHandler_
to:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/server.html#C_PerlOpenLogsHandler_
will help? e.g.:

If you want to traverse the configured virtual hosts, you can accomplish 
that using a simple loop (see PerlOpenLogsHandler for an example)
