in no particular order: provide namespace protection for mod_include #perl's port to threaded 5.004_5x (5.005-tobe) win32: - integrate with Perl 5.005's threading - Apache and Apache::Constants should be built as dlls - look at providing ASP (Active Server Plugin) support for NT users special treatment for nph- scripts? overload %ENV magic so it's not setup unless asked for "save stack" mechanism so we can go back to caching CV lookups cleanup Makefile.PL!!! extend $r->notes method so we can store arbitrary Perl structures think about re-introducing perl_alloc..perl_free option for each request now that embedding bugs are fixed in Perl 5.004 Apache::Registry should honor __END__ and __DATA__, but how to get it right? improve the "stacked handlers" implementation, including: - config merging of AV*'s -allowing all array-like operations besides push_handlers, pop_handlers, shift_handlers, unshift_handlers, splice_handlers, etc. -allow push_handlers to have an additional argument, an array ref, which will be passed to the handler as arguments, e.g. $r->push_handlers("PerlHandler", \&some_sub, ['one', 'two', 'etc']); -allow Perl*Handler's to have arguments in config files, e.g.: (calls &FooPackage::handler($r, "One", "Two", "Three"); make configuration sections work in .htaccess files allow configuration sections to have read access to internal configuration structures (would be nice if we could tie a %namespace::) explore mechanisms for sharing database connections amoung server children figure out good way to route request to specific child to maintain state find a good way to make Apache::exit override CORE::exit no matter where we are find more ways to decrease size of httpd (perl-runtime!)
