mod_layout

If you're looking for an Apache module that can help you efficiently include output from other URIs at the beginning and end of a web page, you might want to try mod_layout. With its Footer and Header directives, this module allows you to "wrap" documents so that they have a consistent feel across your entire site, or add banners to individual pages as needed. And because mod_layout supports mod_perl, PHP, and Apache JServ, among other handlers, you should be able to use it with almost any type of setup.

That being said, it's important to note that mod_layout does require Apache 2, so make sure your environment is compatible before you try to install it.

As for the latest release, there are a few updates you should know about. First, mod_layout now supports Apache 2.2, which is great news if you're running a more recent version of the web server. Additionally, the release includes a number of bug fixes and code cleanups that should help make mod_layout easier to use overall. For example, some issues related to duplicating pages have been resolved, while "dead code" that was no longer in use has been eliminated from the module's codebase. Finally, the README has been updated with a clearer example for version 5.1, which should help users get up and running with mod_layout more quickly.
