Correct - It's not really critical, but I was wondering whether there
was some variable set during the parsing operation that indicated what
was happening.  For instance, the <Perl > section sets up some proxy
cache entries with disk cache enabled, and I check to see that the cache
directory exists, creating it if it doesn't already exist.  I don't want
to create directories on shutdown if I can avoid it...


There is no provision for this functionality at the moment. I'll try to submit a patch for httpd API and if accepted that we can build on top of it a perl API. We could implement this in mod_perl as well, but it's better to have a C API so to ensure that the feature will be there for years to come.

One possible workaround, is not to run:


% httpd -k stop

but send SIGTERM directly:

% kill -s TERM `cat httpd.pid`

I've asked on httpd-dev whether it's possible to add a mechanism to know the state of the process when httpd.conf is parsed.
