Apache is forgiving/robust about specifying nonexistent phase
handlers in httpd.conf and inserts thereto.

I was using event, and had to let each thread open its own DBs
based on an undefined global.  Then I found that the identical
traffic-test exerciser could get 66 files/second back in event
and 1500/second in prefork.  This is under FreeBSD 6.3.

No doubt I had something wrong or "tunable" in event, but at
that point I gave up and will wait for the simple MPM.

Yes, that's what I thought. But then I noticed that the
PerlChildInitHandler I set up is ignored. Apache configuration
snippet:

PerlRequire /home/milu/www/eumel/startup.pl
PerlChildInitHandler Eumel::Gurke::bla;
PerlChildExitHandler Eumel::Gurke2::bla;

These two classes do not even exist, but Apache starts fine.
When I replace those dummy entries with existing classes, I can
see they're ignored because I don't see the log output I should
see.

Is is possible these are ignored for the worker MPM?

It is unclear to me whether this applies to the prefork MPM
exclusively. Does anyone know?
