DESCRIPTION
This module is a simple Apache/mod_perl handler for executing Bricolage distribution jobs. It responds to a request with the headers "execute" and/or "expire", where the values are a comma-separated list of Bric::Util::Job IDs. Bric::Dist::Handler will instantiate and execute and/or expire each of those jobs in turn. See Bric::Dist::Client for an interface to send those headers.
