I use <perl> sections quite intensively to configure my apache server.
I would like to build in some user interaction during startup.
The code works insofar that it waits 5 seconds and than proceeds with
the default I set, but it completely ignores any keypresses I make.



it might be easier to just make these options part of the startup script
instead of stopping httpd.conf in mid-parse [so to speak].

one [old school] way would be to write a shell script that sets the
variaibles, then starts up apache. there are many other ways possible.
