Hi all,
I was trying to set up some perl code to configure my apache server
dynamically and came across this:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/PerlSections.htm l#Advanced_API.
Upon trying it out however, I could not get it working correctly. It
seems that the Perl code in the <Perl> block is getting executed fine, but
there are problems when trying to parse the "handler=xxx" portion of the
opening tag.

For example, if I have <Perl handler="Foo"> it will complain that "Foo" can
not be found in [at] INC. However, if I leave the quotes off of the module,
<Perl handler=Foo>, it seems to work fine. Also, the example in the docs
shows the handler method being defined as "sub My::Handler::handler :
handler " which for me gives an error. Though using the ": method"
attribute works.

So, is the handler feature of Perl blocks just not yet working right? Has
anyone else had luck with it? Are the docs incorrect?


mod_perl 2.0.4
apache 2.2.13
perl 5.10.1

Thanks,
Kevin

I don't mean to be a pest but I'd like to further explore using handlers for
Perl sections. Does anyone have any info on this or can point me in another
direction?

I guess I can just put my dynamic configs in a perl module that's not called
as a handler and just 'use' it in the apache config, right? I know I can
put it in a Perl section using the default handler but I'd like to have my
perl code in a separate module and not the apache config.
