Re: Upgrading a mod_perl application from Apache 2.2 to Apache 2.4

Here's Everything stuff I ran into, not all of which have anything to do 
with mod_perl:

I had to change all my 'Order' directives into the new 'Require' style

Related to that, I had to stop using 'require' as described here in my 
auth stuff.
https://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/Access.html#C_requires_

httpd rejected the configuration, as far as i can remember. I switched 
to using PerlSetVar to pass in the values that I used to pass in via 
'require'.

I stopped using my custom XForwardedFor InitHandler, because there is 
native support for this now.
