yeah, though there is a META tag that indicates the functionality has yet to
be written.

well, I think there are two things going on here. the first is the hooking
mechanism in httpd proper, which is correctly explained. the second is the
idea of Apache2::Hook, which seems to indicate that you can somehow order
Perl*Handlers through add(). in reality, you can do this already by using
set_handlers() instead of push_handlers(), but the docs are kinda mixing up
two different things - the new hooking mechanism _is_ cool, but the impact
to mod_perl 2.0 users isn't all that great.

in general, I'd say to just remove that entire section, as that doc is
intended to show why mp2 is cooler than mp1 but the hook example has turned
out to really not matter all that much to the end user.

Done. On a side note, I don't seem to be getting any commit messages
depsite subscribing to the docs-cvs@perl.apache.org list. Does the
system not send you your own commit messages?

I didn't see one either...

maybe the commit mail script isn't set up right for docs-cvs. I don't know
where to look, though, but joe knows I think...

oh, wait...

I think your post needs to be moderated, since the commit is from
fwiles@apache.org. unfortunately, I'm not a moderator for that list, so
we'll need to wait until gozer approves it.
