I have a number of applications built around mod_perl 1.0 and I am
considering porting these over to 2.0.

One of the questions that has come up here recently is can mod_perl
modify the httpd configuration dynamically after server startup.


We currently build the server configuration from entries in a sql
database which means that we can add customer specific sites by
configuring entries in our database. The benefit of this approach is
that we are not having to do dynamic calls for all pages. However it
does mean that we have to restart the server when we want a new part
of the site available. I have considered using a hybrid approach of
static configuration on server startup and dynamic for anything that
is created after startup. It would be great if I could effectively
create a /Location or /Alias entry dynamically through perl code. Is
this possible in either 1.0 or 2.0.


Yes this is possible with both versions. I couldn't find any 2.0
specific docs on this, but here is the relevant section of the
1.0 docs: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#Apache_Configuration_in_Perl

mp2.0: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_E_lt_PerlE_gt___Sections
