Migrating from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2
I'm migrating our intranet at work from Apache 1.3 to Apache 2. Simultaneously, I'm upgrading Perl. From what I can tell, Perl's Apache Library has been changed to the Apache2 library. The problem is there is not a direct mapping of all functions. Many appear to have been removed totally. I'm worried that I'm going to have to go through all my code a line at a time when I upgrade.
Has anyone else performed this upgrade on a system with modules that made extensive use of the Apache library? Any advice or good guides out there?

[Imitating Bja888]Apache is stupid, upgrade to microsft and ASP[/Imitating]
LOL
When we did an upgrade to Suse from Free BSD, Suse installed iwth Apache 2, but we didn't have anything complex in perl, just basic stuff, so we didn't have any problem with that. The main problem we had was the newer version of PHP and it forcing me to change my program to use the $_SERVER variable. (oh and figuring out that now instead of using htpasswd, we had to use htpasswd2)
Sorry can't be much more help on the issue.
