Yes, and it even work. :)

Yes, I do exactly.

I think so too.

But after apache start with
PerlRequire /path/to/mysite/conf/startup.pl
in httpd.conf
I have httpd size 15M greater than after
request to oi2.cgi configured as Apache::Registry script.

I'll try, but I am not an expert in Apache.

By the way, what about your plans of OI2 further developing,
when we can look forward to next (stable/production) versions?

Thanks,
