[mp2] apachectl configtest

["Carl Johnstone" <suppressed>]

Hi,

I'm moving to mod_perl2 and looking at the new startup where perl can be 
loaded either pre-config or postconfig. I've been trying both options.

If I start perl pre-config, I'm getting output from the perl stuff to the 
screen as well as the error log. It's also fairly slow and runs even if 
you're issuing a stop command.

If I start perl post-config, everything is an awful lot quicker. However 
configtest doesn't load perl, and therefore doesn't fail if perl is unable 
to start (for example if a module is missing).

I'd like to have something in the middle, ideally with perl starting 
post-config with "apachectl configtest" also checking that perl can start. 
As far as I can see from the docs that isn't an option.

Am I missing anything, or has anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks

Carl
