Re: PerlSetVar inside <Location> doesn't seem to work

I'm also using a virtual host, though I place my PerlSetVar without a
<Directory>. This is the code that I use to extract them:

        foreach my $apache_key (CORE::keys %{$apache->dir_config}) {
$literals{$apache_key} = $apache->dir_config->{$apache_key};
        }

In this example, $apache is an instance of Apache2::RequestRec
