There is an ongoing outage on the primary CPAN mirror. It is possible to work around the issue by using MetaCPAN as a mirror.

USE

PerlBlock literals dump output into the Perl block in docs/httpd.conf files, which are used for mod_perl deployment.

EXAMPLE

To see an example, build:

bigtop -c example.bigtop all

Look for Exotic::Module in docs/httpd.conf.

See how the example so cleverly controls indentation so readers never have to know the output was generated?
