DESCRIPTION
   This module replicates the functionality of the standard Apache
   module, mod_log_config, but logs information in a DBI-compliant
   database instead of a file.

LIST OF TOKENS
   DBILogConfig_data_source
       A DBI data source with a format of "DBI::driver:database"

   DBILogConfig_username
       Username passed to the database driver when connecting

   DBILogConfig_password
       Password passed to the database driver when connecting

   DBILogConfig_table
       Table in the database for logging

   DBILogConfig_log_format
       A string consisting of formats seperated by white space that
       define the data to be looged (see FORMATS below)

FORMATS
   A format consists of a string with the following syntax:

   %[conditions][{parameter}]format=field

 format

   Formats specify the type of data to be logged. The following
   formats are accepted:

   b Bytes sent
   f Filename
   e Environment variable (specified by parameter)
   h Remote host
   a Remote IP Address
   i Header in the client request (specified by parameter)
   l Remote log name (from identd)
   n Contents of a note from another module (specified by parameter)
   o Header from the reply (specified by parameter)
   p Server port
   P Apache child PID
   r First line of the request
   s Request status
   t Time in common log format (default) or strftime() (parameter)
   T Time taken to serve request
   u Remote user from auth
   U URL
   v Server hostname
 field

   A database column to log the data to

 parameter

   For formats that take a parameter

   Example: %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}e

 conditions

   Conditions are a comma-seperated list of status codes. If the
   status of the request being logged equals one of the status
   codes in the condition the data specified by the format will be
   logged. By placing a '!' in front of the conditions, data will
   be logged if the request status does not match any of the
   conditions.

   Example: %!200,304,302s=status will log the status of all
   requests that did not return some sort of normal status

DEBUGGING
   Debugging statements will be written to the error log if
   LOGLEVEL is set to 'warn' or higher
