These modules will also serve as good examples, showing you where modules can step in during a stage of a request with Perl*Handler callbacks. You'll also see how and when to use the Apache API methods.
If you have any additions or changes for the list, please send them to the Apache/Perl mailing list or to me.
If you wish to share you module(s) the Perl way, by putting them on CPAN, send a request to me or modules@perl.org to get set up with a PAUSE user id and directory.
