| |
| CREDITS - The many mod_perl contributors |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| While Doug MacEachern is behind the majority of mod_perl's design, |
| code and documentation, he and mod_perl never would have made it this |
| far without the help from everyone in the mod_perl community. His |
| heartfelt thanks goes out to all of you! |
| |
| There are thousands of people who have contributed to what mod_perl is |
| today. This file is here to recognize the tremendous efforts of the |
| major contributors to the mod_perl effort. |
| |
| This file is generated by a Perl script which sorts by name. |
| |

| XS <-> Apache API interface were changed, it was an important |
