          w/o the $main::* syntax.  These subs are no longer anonymous
          subs, and are now compiled into the namespace of the global.asa package.

         +Apache::ASP->Loader() precompiles dynamic includes too. Making this work
          required fixing some subtle bugs / dependencies in the compiling process.

         +Added Apache::ASP->Loader() similar to Apache::RegistryLoader for
          precompiling ASP scripts.  Precompile a whole site at server 
          startup with one function call.

         +Prettied the error messaging with Debug 2.

         +$Response->Debug(@args) debugging extension, which
          allows a developer to hook into the module's debugging,
          and only have @args be written to error_log when Debug is greater
          than 0.

         -Put write locking code around State writes, like $Session
          and $Application.  I thought I fixed this bug a while ago.

         -API change: converted $Session->Timeout() and $Session->SessionID() 
          methods into $Session->{Timeout} and $Session->{SessionID} properties.
          The use of these properties as methods is deprecated, but 
          backwards compatibility will remain.  Updated ./eg/session.asp
          to use these new properties.

         +Implemented $Response->{PICS} which if set sends out a PICS-Label
          HTTP header, useful for ratings.

         +Implemented $Response->{CacheControl} and $Response->{Charset} members.
          By default, CacheControl is 'private', and this value gets sent out
          every request as HTTP header Cache-Control.  Charset appends itself
          onto the content type header.

         +Implemented $Request->BinaryRead(), $Request->{TotalBytes},
          documented them, and updated ./eg/form.asp for an example usage. 

         +Implemented $Response->BinaryWrite(), documented, and created
          and example in ./eg/binary_write.htm

         +Implemented $Server->MapPath() and created example of its use
          in ./eg/server.htm

         -$Request->Form() now reads file uploads correctly with 
          the latest CGI.pm, where $Request->Form('file_field') returns
          the actual file name uploaded, which can be used as a file handle
          to read in the data.  Before, $Request->Form('file_field') would
          return a glob that looks like *Fh::filename, so to get the file
          name, you would have to parse it like =~ s/^\*Fh\:\://,
          which you no longer have to do.  As long as parsing was done as
          mentioned, the change should be backwards compatible.

         +Updated  +enhanced documentation on file uploads.  Created extra
          comments about it as an FAQ, and under $Response->Form(), the latter
          being an obvious place for a developer to look for it.

         +Updated ./eg/file_upload.asp to show use of non file form data, 
          with which we had a bug before.

         +Finished retieing *STDIN to cached STDIN contents, so that 
          CGI input routines may be used transparently, along side with
          use of $Request->Form()

         +Cleaned up and optimized $Request code

         +Updated documentation for CGI input & file uploads.  Created
          file upload FAQ.

         +Reworked ./eg/cgi.htm example to use CGI input routines
          after doing a native read of STDIN.

         ++Added dynamic includes with <!--include file=file args=@args-->
          extension.  This style of include is compiled as an anonymous sub & 
          cached, and then executed with @args passed to the subroutine for 
          execution.  This is include may also be rewritten as a new API 
          extension: $Response->Include('file', @args)

         +Added ./eg/compiled_includes.htm example documenting new dynamic includes.

         +Documented SSI: native file includes, and the rest with filtering 
          to Apache::SSI

         +Turned the documentation of Filter config to value of Off so 
          people won't cut and paste the On config by default.

         +Added SecureSession config option, which forces session cookie to 
          be sent only under https secured www page requests.

         +Added StateDB config option allows use of DB_File for $Session, since 
          default use of SDBM_File is limited.  See StateDB in README.

         +file include syntax w/o quotes supported like <!--#include file=test.inc-->

         +Nested includes are supported, with includes including each other.
          Recursive includes are detected and errors out when an include has been 
          included 100 times for a script.  Better to quit early than 
          have a process spin out of control. (PORTABLE ? probably not)

         +Allow <!--include file=file.inc--> notation w/o quotes around file names

         -PerlSetEnv apache conf setting now get passed through to 
          $Request->ServerVariables. This update has ServerVariables 
          getting data from %ENV instead of $r->cgi_env

         +README FAQ for PerlHandler errors

    $VERSION = 0.08; $DATE="02/06/1999";
         ++SSI with Apache::Filter & Apache::SSI, see config options & ./eg files
          Currently filtering only works in the direction Apache::ASP -> Apache::SSI,
          will not work the other way around, as SSI must come last in a set of filters

         +SSI file includes may reference files in the Global directory, better 
          code sharing

         - <% @array... %> no longer dropped from code.

         +perl =pod comments are stripped from script before compiling, and associated
          PodComments configuration options.

         +Command line cgi/asp script takes various options, and allows execution
          of multiple asp scripts at one time.  This script should be used for
