    Hi!
    Are you trying to detect start/stop/restart status via mod_perl executed by the same server you're starting/stoping/restarting? I don't think you can detect stoping the server via application that same server enables to run :-)
    You can read the apache log files, though.

    The Apache (re)starting can be very easy - put the
    <Perl>
#your code
</Perl>

    [download]
    section into your httpd.conf, or use PerlPostConfigHandler. The Apache stopping - I have no clear idea.

    you could see the details in the log file, then why do you want to print it separately ?
