NAME

Apache::TieBucketBrigade - Perl extension which ties an IO::Handle to Apache's Bucket Brigade so you can use standard filehandle type operations on the brigade.

SYNOPSIS

  use Apache::Connection ();
  use Apache::Const -compile => 'OK';
  use Apache::TieBucketBrigade;
  
  sub handler { 
      my $FH = Apache::TieBucketBrigade->new_tie($c);
      my @stuff = <$FH>;
      print $FH "stuff goes out too";
      $FH->print("it's and IO::Handle too!!!");
      Apache::OK;
  }

DESCRIPTION

This module has one usefull method "new_tie" which takes an Apache connection object and returns a tied IO::Handle object. It should be used inside a mod_perl protocol handler to make dealing with the bucket brigade bitz easier. For reasons of my own, FILENO will pretend to be STDIN so you may need to keep this in mind. Also IO::Handle::autoflush and IO::Handle::blocking are essentially noops.

EXPORT
