Hrm, interesting. I wonder what the problem is?

I have a better workaround, now. I found that I could make the problem 
go away by reversing the order in which the modules are loaded in 
httpd.conf:
PerlModule TestSeen
PerlModule DoubleTest

Not exactly sure why that makes a difference, though.

Is httpd_conf() documented somewhere? I can't see what's supposed to be 
passed to it.
Thanks,

David
