Re: Is "PerlOptions +Parent" per directory or not?

I use it like this inside my VirtualHost declaration:
PerlOptions +Parent
PerlRequire /usr/local/lariat-03.02.xx/conf/qa/startup-qa-03.02.xx.pl

This allows me to use a different version of my code base and a different
startup.pl on a per virtual host basis. Without it, all of my virtual hosts
would operate off the exact same version of my code.
