Yeah, as you probably gathered - this is where bugfixing and  
development has been taking place.  The plan is to get the perl.org  
version running off this, too.   (We'll split out the perl.org site  
code from the combust repository; what we stalled on was deciding if  
docs/ should be a submodule or just integrated into the perl.org site  
repository.    I figure bandwidth is getting cheap[1], so just having  
it integrated might be fine.   :-)

I'll get it done in the next week or two.

Right.  To work with Apache2 there are probably some changes needed to  
make things use $self->request instead of $self->r (deprecated  
Apache::Request object).

Also true!

The biggest hangup is the dumb Apache based configuration -- but even  
that can probably be read with Config::General ...
