My httpd.conf has three sections. One is LoadModule perl_module 
modules/mod_perl.so and PerlOptions +GlobalRequest. Another is a block of 
PerlPassEnv, and third is a <Perl> section. The main part of the <Perl> section 
is to create and then get the output of an HTML::Template, which includes all 
the other httpd configuration, like <Locations>, rewrites, et cetera.

So, different ways to get this config to apache include:

my $r = Apache2::RequestUtil->request;
$r->add_config($template->output);

But that results in the error "Global $r object is not available." and the 
server does not start.

The other two, similar, ways I know about involve $PerlConfig and @PerlConfig, 
and while neither prevents server startup, Apache2::Directive shows that they 
didn't do anything, with or without the hack mentioned by Randal here:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/modperl/85304?do=post_view_threaded#85304

And, just so we are all sure, $template->output produces both the content I 
expect and content that works to start the server. If I simply replace the 
<Perl> section with the generated output the server starts.
