Fixed implementation of caller() override to more closely match normal behavior.
Added fork protection like Devel::DProf - only profile the parent.
Added code to avoid instrumenting fake subs. For details, see:

Added code to detect constant subs and avoid profiling them.
Added Devel::Profiler::Apache module which works like Apache::DProf to provide profiling for Apache/mod_perl.
Added check for dprofpp to Makefile.PL - thanks are due to "Automated Perl Test Account" for the catch.
Fixed bug under Test::More version 0.44 where Test::More was confused by my attempts to test skip() itself. Thanks to Andreas Marcel Riechert for the report.
Added package_filter option to allow more flexible control over packages to be profiled. Thanks to Simon Rosenthal for inspiring this feature.

Added hz option and code to scale output the hz. This should improve speed and smooth discrepencies between the accuracy of times() and Time::HiRes.
Added ability to pass options to Devel::Profiler::Apache.
Allow package_filter to take an array of filters.
Fixed bug where Devel::Profiler::Apache would initialize Devel::Profiler more than once, resulting in garbled output.
Set required Perl version to 5.6.0 rather than 5.6.1. Testing needed.
Devel::Profiler::Apache now logs when it opens a new profiler output file.
Added sub_filter option to allow flexible exclusion of subs.
Added Devel::Profiler::Apache to MANIFEST. Now it will actually be incldued in the release! Thanks Jasper Zhao for the spot.

Fixed bug where exported subs could sneak around package_filter unless they were checked again in sub_filter.
Fixed some undefined value warnings when module is loaded but not initialized.
