Re: A question about the post_config phase mod_perl handler

[Boysenberry Payne <suppressed>]

Interesting, I tried just returning and several other non-OK returns  
and got no error.

Here is a sample of what I tried:

In httpd.conf:

PerlPostConfigHandler		MyModule::PostConfig


package MyModule::PostConfig;
use strict;
use warnings;

# Apache2 Post Config Hook Phase Handler
sub handler {
	my ($conf_pool, $log_pool, $temp_pool, $s) = @_;
	return;
}
1;


No error, runs as far as I can tell just the same as when I return  
Apache2::Const::OK.

I'm running Apache/2.2.3 and mod_perl/2.0.2 on OS X 10.4.10.
