what difference would it make? None of the 3rd party modules using
Apache2.pm and Apache:: namespace will work anyway. Just nuke it all.

That's true that they won't work, but I thought there may be
someone who might have some module under that area that they
would like to save (eg, some locally modified version of a
3rd party CPAN module). So it might not hurt to check first.

Good idea - I'll do that. Thanks.

Makes sense Randy. But you probably want to rephrase it then to include
the explanation above. Since people do want to nuke 3rd party modules,
built with RC3 or earlier, unless they have some custom work in there
