nope, you didn't miss anything.  unfortunately, mod_perl 1.X does not 
offer up the entire Apache API to perl land (though the intent of 2.0 
is to do just that).

actually, I just whipped up a module that offers get/set for MaxClients:

http://www.modperlcookbook.org/~geoff/modules/experimental/Apache-MaxClients-0.01.tar.gz

it's not perfect (it doesn't offer the checks that the MaxClients 
directive does), but it seems to work.  with a little effort, I 
suspect it could be worked out so that you don't need a request 
object, but rather an Apache::Server object.  however, it shows how 
easy mod_perl makes it to open up the Apache API where you need it.
