2nd paragraph "For any..." |
On this page it reads 'when different sections have conflicting information about the
same resource it is not always obvious which directive takes precedence'. Yet on page
99 there is a complete section dedicated to the 'merging of directives' which gives a
clear picture on the order. So either the statement on p96 is false or something is
meant that is not discussed on page 99.
AUTHOR: Frank is right. This can be clarified. Perhaps adding a sentence to the end of
this para will do:
If in doubt, one should refer to the section [merging of directives
on page 99], which specifies the exact merging order.

last paragraph |
It says 'mod_perl adds two more directives'. It might be due to my non-native
English, but in the text that follows I count 3 "directives" <Perl>, PerlRequire and PerlModule.
AUTHOR:
<Perl> is not a directive, but a container. So the text is correct to say 'two
more directives'. However reshuffling the sentences of this paragraph may
cause less confusion. I'd suggest:
mod_perl adds two more directives. Any file containing a Perl
program can be executed at server startup simply by using the
PerlRequire or PerlModule directives, as we will show shortly.
In addition <Perl> sections allow you to execute Perl code from
within any configuration file at server startup time.
An alternative solution is to change the first sentence to be:
mod_perl adds a new container and two more directives.

sub render |
The rendering should be:
sub render {
my $self = shift;
my $location = canonpath(catdir($self->{r}->location,$self->{dir}));
for (sort keys %{$self->{dirs} || {} }) {
my $new_location=canonpath(catdir($location,$_));
print qq{<a href="$new_location">$_</a><br />};
}
for (sort keys %{$self->{files} || {} }) {
my $new_location=canonpath(catdir($location,$_));
print qq{$_<br />};
}
}
