Yes - I have already used Apache2::ServerUtil - other funcs are working.

(though this was the problem for APR::SocketAddr,
$r->connection->local_addr->port() is now working. I am used to objects
having loaded their packages, these are not real objects, despite the ->
syntax)

I also note from Modperl2 users Guide' that things like uid / guid (does
that mean group_id and user_id too?) are platform specific and so have
to be coded by modperl users.
