Your corrections of the technical and grammatical
errors are very welcome. You are encouraged to help me
improve this guide. If you have something to contribute
please send it

If, after reading this guide and the other documents listed in this section, you still don't have the answers/information needed, please ask for help on the Apache/mod_perl mailing list. But please, first try to browse the mailing list archive. Most of the time you will find the answer to your questions by searching the archive, since it is very likely that someone else has already encountered the same problem and found a solution for it. If you ignore this advice, you should not be surprised if your question is left unanswered - it bores people to answer the same question more than once. This does not mean that you should avoid asking questions, but you should not abuse the available help and you should RTFM before you call for HELP. (Remember the fable of the shepherd boy and the wolves).
For more information See Get helped with mod_perl.

Hi, I wrote this document to help people with mod_perl. It does not mean that if you have any question regarding mod_perl, perl or whatever you think I might know, you should send it directly to me. Please see the Get help with mod_perl section and follow the guidelines described there.
However, you are welcome to submit corrections and suggestions directly to me at stas@stason.org?subject=mod_perl%20guide%20corrections. If you are going to submit heavy corrections of the text (I love those!), please help me by downloading the source pages in POD from http://www.stason.org/guide-snapshots/, directly editing them and sending them to me. I will use Emacs Ediff to perform an easy merge of such changes. Thank you!
PLEASE DO NOT SEND QUESTIONS DIRECTLY TO ME, I didn't invite those by writing the guide. They will all be immediately deleted. Please ask questions on the mod_perl list and if we can answer your question, one (or more) of us will answer it on the list. Thank you!
