Hello Monks. I've been banging my head against my desk for hours trying to figure out how to use the timeout method from Apache2::ServerRec. The synopsis for this says you can do: 
use Apache2::ServerRec ();

$timeout  = $s->timeout();

Where does $s come from? I've looked into handlers, thinking that was the solution, but I can't get anything to work. Aaaahh! Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I thought you might want to know what my latest attempt was. The perl I have is: 
#!/opt/local/bin/perl
package MyApache2::Timeout;

use strict;
use warnings;

use CGI::Carp qw{fatalsToBrowser};
use Apache2::ServerRec();

use Apache2::Const -compile => qw{OK};

sub handler {
        my $r = shift;
        $r->content_type('text/plain');
        my $timeout = $r->timeout();

        return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
1;

And in httpd.conf: 
PerlModule MyApache2::Timeout
<Location /timeout>
        SetHandler modperl
        PerlResponseHandler MyApache2::Timeout
</Location>

When I go to http://localhost/timeout, I get an internal server error (no details like I would expect from using CGI::Carp). I know that MyApache2::Timeout is being loaded because if I comment out the my $timeout = $r->timeout(); line and restart Apache, I get no error.
