Re: Rusty perl question

Is this what you mean?

  use constant MP_GEN => $ENV{MOD_PERL}
      ? { ( exists $ENV{MOD_PERL_API_VERSION} and 
            $ENV{MOD_PERL_API_VERSION} >= 2 ) ? 2 : 1 }
      : 0;

It sets the constant |MP_GEN| to 0 if mod_perl is not available, to 1 if 
running under mod_perl 1.0 and 2 for mod_perl 2.0.

Then you can

    require foo if (MP_GEN == 2);

or whatever.
