it depends.

Apache2::ModSSL calls for example a few functions from mod_ssl. Problem is =
a=20
module can be loaded but can also be omitted by the admin. Apache has an=20
optional function interface to import functions from another module. The=20
following is part of ModSSL.xs. It imports mod_ssl's ssl_is_https() etc.

static void
retrieve_functions(void)
{
if( is_initialized ) return;
is_initialized++;
is_https=3DAPR_RETRIEVE_OPTIONAL_FN(ssl_is_https);
lookup=3DAPR_RETRIEVE_OPTIONAL_FN(ssl_var_lookup);
ext_lookup=3DAPR_RETRIEVE_OPTIONAL_FN(ssl_ext_lookup);
}

On the other hand, maybe you have something else in mind, something higher=
=20
level?
