PERL_LIBS variable when building under bsd/os 4.x, since that causes
errors when passing "cc" oriented flags to "ld". I suspect this
should be done for all platforms, as passing cc options to ld just
seems wrong to me. Also fixed up Makefile.PL to override Apache's
notion of LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT to use Perl's idea of the proper flags
when building as a DSO under APACI. [Vivek Khera <vivek@khera.org>]

loose @ISA 'DynaLoader' to avoid inheriting AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD
added $r->server->timeout method
skip tests that use xs/ap_ code if installed MMN is not equal to
target MMN, since Apache releases may break binary compat
Makefile.PL will look for --target=(\S+) in APACI_ARGS, if found use
instead of the default `httpd' for 'make test'
make sure ap_config_auto.h is picked up when PREP_HTTPD=1 (for
non-distribution modules that use Apache::src to build)

CPAN.pm can 'install mod_perl' again
added Apache::Util module (enable with PERL_UTIL_API=1 or EVERYTHING=1)
only break out of the write loop if rwrite() returns -1 and
r->connection->aborted, otherwise continue
added Apache::URI module (enable with PERL_URI_API=1 or EVERYTHING=1)
register_cleanup to SvREFCNT_dec handler stacks, otherwise we leak
during kill -USR1 when configuration is re-read

fix tied $r->err_headers_out cut-n-pasto [Peter Kaas <Peter.Kaas@lunatech.com>]
Apache::read_client_block will now use safemalloc/safefree, rather
than palloc, so memory is released after each read(), rather than at
the end of a request. (e.g. so file uploads don't cause too much growth)
Added mod_perl_method_handlers.pod file, a little article about using
perl objects with modperl. [ ask@netcetera.dk ]
Apache::Registry will now save END blocks just after the script is compiled,
instead of after the subroutine call. otherwise, if the client breaks the
connection, the hard_timeout will jump out of perl_handler(), and the save
will never happen. Thanks to Robert Nice and Ben Laurie for spotting this.
bug fix so PATH_INFO is properly reset, thanks to David Sklar for the spot

Various fixes and improvements to the APACI support:
- Added support for PERL_THREADS to apaci stuff.
This is needed under the bleeding edge Perl's

- Avoid more unnecessary file copies and edits under
APACI situation.
- Cleanup the PERL_XXX hooks in apaci/mod_perl.config[.sh]
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
- Add additional .xs.o target to apaci/Makefile.tmpl to

emulate pre-1.3b6 r->uri/r->proxyreq behavior for proxy requests
inside the post_read_request_handler and add t/internal/proxy test
added additional installation document INSTALL.apaci which
describes the new APACI stuff (including background information).
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
added new (but still optional!) Apache 1.3 support via the new Apache
Autoconf-style Interface (APACI): The option USE_APACI=1 triggers a new
build-environment (from local apaci/) for the APACHE_SRC/src/modules/perl/
which provides a clean way (i.e. without patching anything inside APACHE_SRC,
not even the Configuration file) of configuring mod_perl via a
APACHE_SRC/src/modules/perl/mod_perl.config file. The completey configuration
is enabled by just using the APACI command "configure
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a"
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
experimental tie of $0 to Apache->request->filename, enable with
-DPERL_TIE_SCRIPTNAME
added little Apache::system that redirects output to the browser,
should this be imported into Apache::{Registry,PerlRun} scripts?
new Apache::Tie module, provides Apache::TieHashTable for a proper
interface to Apache table structures. The following methods, called
in a scalar context with no "key" argument, will return a HASH
reference, where HASH is tied to Apache::TieHashTable:
headers_in, headers_out, err_headers_out, notes, dir_config, subprocess_env
enable with PERL_TIE_TABLES=1
see also: t/net/perl/tie_table.pl
remove Cwd::fastcwd usage from Apache::Registry, use
$Apache::Server::CWD set at server startup instead
new method Apache->chdir_file, use to replace
chdir File::Basename::dirname($r->filename) in Apache::Registry

add $ServerRoot/lib/perl to @INC at startup
add code to deal with 1.3b7-dev's SERVER_SUBVERSION replacement
a few doc patches [John D Groenveld <jdg117@elvis.arl.psu.edu>]
re-implemented $r->read to properly use *client_block methods and call
reset_timeout after each read in the loop. until this is well tested,
the method is called new_read. to test on tie'd STDIN reads, a startup
script can say this:
*Apache::READ = \&Apache::new_read;
added setup_client_block, should_client_block and get_client_block
methods
modules/cgi test will attempt a fileupload of perlfunc.pod to
file_upload.cgi if HTTP::Request::Common is installed
(libwww-perl-5.09+) and $CGI::VERSION >= 2.39
make $r->connection->aborted work as documented again, thanks to spot
by Jens Heunemann
swap order of stacked handlers so dynamic ones (push_handlers) are
invoked after server .conf configured handlers
replace uses of SvPVX() with SvPV() to prevent possible core dump if
called with a non-string value
added COMPILED REGULAR EXPRESSIONS section to mod_perl_traps.pod

have ldopts yank ExtUtils::Liblist message:
Note (probably harmless): No library found for ...
from stdout to stderr [Stas Bekman <sbekman@iil.intel.com>]
change Apache.xs/typemap so classes who inherit from the Apache class
can invoke methods with a hash object, provided $hash->{_r} contains a
request_rec object
additions to experimental Perl directive support:
- a per-directory config object is now passed as the first argument
to directive handlers registered via Apache::ExtUtils->xs_cmd_table
the object is a hash reference blessed into the same class as the handler
- $r->dir_config with no args now looks for per-directory config in
the caller's namespace
- xs_cmd_table now looks for a prototype to determine TAKE1,
TAKE2, TAKE3, etc.
added $Apache::CurrentThreadId variable under win32
added method/object handler tests to internal/stacked test
fixed broken modules/eperl test spotted by Tom Mornini
fixed Makefile.PL bug spotted by Jon Drukman w/ PERL_CHILD_EXIT=1

new module Apache::PerlRun, splits out Apache::Registry functionality
and provides a `dirty-perl' handler (see pod). thanks to Stas Bekman
for testing and suggestions.
PERL_OBJECT_HANDLERS now enabled #ifdef PERL_METHOD_HANDLERS
widen scope of mutex lock under win32 to avoid possible deadlock
[Gerald Richter <richter@ecos.de>]
fixed bug in directory_merge where FLAG directives would inherit `On'
from the base configuration, even if the directory explicitly had the
flag turned `Off', this was the case for PerlSendHeader and
PerlSetupEnv. thanks to Mark-Jason Dominus for the spot.
added `grab' function to Apache::test, which fetches a url and gives

Dan Peterson
can build again with threaded Perl (was just missing a few dTHR's)

Apache->module will no longer eval "require $module", it will now
return true if the module is in %INC, false otherwise
fix so END blocks encountered at startup are run at shutdown
(I think one of the 1.07_xx version broke it)
If exists, Makefile.PL will add /usr/local/stronghold/conf/httpd.conf's
StrongholdKey to t/conf/httpd.conf for 'make test' for you
Makefile.PL will edit Stronghold's Makefile to replace:
"CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS)" with 'CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS)' so the SUBVERSION thang works
fix $r->custom_response problem spotted by Brian Mosley so it works
with SERVER_ERROR
added new method child_terminate
fix $r->current_callback so it can be called during startup

added workaround Apache::RedirectLogFix module to work around the
re-introduced log bug below
to fix a double-header send bug spotted by Doug Bagley, backed out
this Change from 1.06:
Apache::Registry will return REDIRECT if $r->header_out("Location")
so the request is logged properly, thanks to spot by Jon Drukman
added experimental PerlRestartHandler
(enabled with PERL_RESTART_HANDLER=1, note: _not_ enabled with EVERYTHING=1)
moved Apache::sv_name function to the new Apache::Symbol package
Apache::StatINC will call Apache::Symbol's undef_functions method for

$package->can('undef_functions'), if so, invoke that method
added Apache::Symbol module with an undef_functions method
Apache->server_root_relative now defaults to "" when no
filename/directory name argument is given (ie returns ServerRoot)
made PERL_TRACE more useful with levels set via environment variable
MOD_PERL_TRACE:
d - trace directive handling during config read
s - trace processing of perl sections
h - trace Perl*Handler callbacks
g - trace global variable handling, intepreter allocation, END blocks, etc.
all - all of the above
will add -DSTRONGHOLD to CFLAGS if build against stronghold, thanks to
Todd R. Eigenschink
fix Makefile.PL's parsing of SERVER_SUBVERSION, spotted by Paul Sutton
$r->send_http_header can now accept an optional second argument, if
present will set $r->content_type
PerlPassEnv, PerlRequire and PerlModule now use an array_header
structure for internal storage
1.3b4 compat:
- adapt to new table api changes (with help from Rob Hartill and Dean Gaudet)
- adapt to *.h move to the new src/include directory
Apache::Status enhancements:
- "Loaded Modules" will now report last modified time
- "packages" are now links, click, symbol table dump
- now that packages are links, no longer do recursive dump
(recurse yourself via hyperlinks, much easier to read!!!)
- hashes, scalars and arrays are now links,
click, Data::Dumper Dump (only if PerlSetVar StatusDumper is On)
- functions are now links, click, subroutine info (requires the B module)
- dump of any type also has a link "Peek Dump"
(only if PerlSetVar StatusPeek is On and Apache::Peek is installed)
- dump of any type also has a link "OP Tree Graph"
(only if PerlSetVar StatusGraph is On)
(requires the B and B::Graph modules and the dot program)
- added t/modules/status test
with the -DPERL_MARK_WHERE experimental feature enabled, there's a
chance you'll never see "Use of uninitialized value." again without
some more useful information, nor will you see '-e' reported outside
of Apache::Registry
perl_destruct_level can now be set via the environment variable
PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL or -DPERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL
turn default perl_destruct_level down from 2 to Perl's default of 0
use a copy of apache's ap_cpystrn against versions < 1.3b4-dev
got rid of "Use of uninitialized value." warning in perl_util.c seen
when running HTML::Embperl, hunted down by Todd Eigenschink and Gerald
Richter
added modules/src test for Apache::src
documented Apache::src
the Apache::src->new method will now default to the first
auto/Apache/include directory found relative to @INC

_03's new tests assumed PerlCleanupHandler was enabled, fixed now
thanks to spot by Rob Hartill
Makefile.PL will now chmod a+x t/net/perl/* t/net/perl/io/*
thanks to Rob Hartill
experimental features can be enabled with -DDEFINEs instead of
$variables or %ENV, changes to Makefile.PL make them simple to add,
see eg/makepl_args.mod_perl for even simpler
added eg/makepl_args.mod_perl
the makepl_args.mod_perl can now have multiple lines, space, #comments
and empty newlines are ignored, stops reading if it hits __END__
Makefile.PL will now also look for $ENV{HOME}/.makepl_args.mod_perl
and read in if exists
before clearing handlers stacked via Apache->push_handlers at the end
of each request, save the PerlChildExitHandler stack and putback after
the clear. this way, modules pulled in at server startup can say:
Apache->push_handlers(PerlChildExitHandler => sub {})
a "top-level" mod_perl per-directory directive would cause core dump
inside <Perl> sections. now trap that and exit with message that the
directive should be inside a containter e.g. %Location, %VirtualHost
(not sure what the real problem is here)
re-work PERL_SECTIONS_SELF_BOOT stuff so it calls perl_section() directly,
rather than perl_eat_config_string("<Perl>\n</Perl>"), because:
- it no longer core dumps when a "top-level" per-server directive is found
- it no longer requires 1.3b3+ (1.2.x will work)
- it is faster
PerlModule/PERL_SECTIONS_SELF_BOOT will delete $INC{$PerlModule} on
the first config read pass, so it's re-read on the second pass
if ($] < 5.004_04) Makefile.PL will warn that users should upgrade to
5.004_04 or higher
removed Apache::PerlSections' self test now that we have
modules/psections.t and it won't work without the =pod line.

PerlSections) to stop 5.004's pod2man's bogus warnings spotted by
Eric Cholet

removed "[notice] mod_perl restarted" message since it doesn't go to
the error_log as it should, spotted by Vivek Khera and Paul Phillips
fixed corrupted $ENV{TZ} spotted by Michael Parker
cut out 'make test' error_log noise, anything there now should only be
an error or a non-error [notice]
make Apache::Resource simpler to configure, to use w/ all defaults
(1.3bx + PerlChildInitHandler required):
PerlSetEnv PERL_RLIMIT_DEFAULTS On
PerlModule Apache::Resource
Makefile.PL will now:

get rid of some <Perl> section warnings with help from Doug Bagley
improved register_cleanup tests
applied $r->register_cleanup patch from Doug Bagley to properly call
MP_RCLEANUP_off after cleanups are run
perl Makefile.PL can now accept ADD_MODULE, Makefile.PL will (s/,/ /g)
and uncomment the list of modules from src/Configuration
e.g.:
ADD_MODULE=unique_id,proxy,info
perl Makefile.PL can now accept PERL_EXTRA_CFLAGS, Makefile.PL will
(s/,/ /g) which are added to EXTRA_CFLAGS
e.g.:
PERL_EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DFOO=1,-DBAR=2
if the file `makepl_args.modperl' is present in . or .. it will be read into
@ARGV, e.g. might contain EVERYTHING=1 DO_HTTPD=1
fixes for 1.3b4-dev compat
- get rid of AuthName space in generated .htaccess file for
internal/hooks test
if a PerlModule defines something in %Apache::ReadConfig <Perl>
sections are run without need to actually have <Perl></Perl> in
httpd.conf, i.e. httpd.conf could be nothing more than:
PerlModule Apache::httpd_conf
whilst experimental, enable by setting the envrionment variable
PERL_SECTIONS_SELF_BOOT to something true
experimental feature, modules can 'exit|die AUTH_REQUIRED;' or with
any HTTP error code and that response is sent rather than SERVER_ERROR
to test enable by setting $Apache::ERRSV_CAN_BE_HTTP = 1
take CGI.pm version check out of Apache::Registry, now that we require
5.004+, they'll have at least 2.36
get rid of "Use of uninitialized value at -e line 65535" warning
caused by perl_run_rgy_endav() spotted by Doug Bagley
if there is an error inside <Perl>, filename and line number are now
displayed in the error message, e.g.

instead of
syntax error at (eval 1) line 2
Apache::RegistryLoader->handler will now strip leading '/' when $uri is
server_root_relative and no $filename is present

Apache::test stuff:
- added run method
- added MM_test method for Makefile.PL's to say:
*MY::test = \&Apache::test::MM_test
some httpd_conf.pm stuff:
- added server_url method
- added catch_signals method to terminate httpd on __DIE__ or INT
($conf->server_start calls this by default)
- when httpd.conf is written, set BaseDir in a BEGIN block
- drop trailing slash from Alias'
- fix write() method's assignment of %$self to *Apache::ReadConfig::

Apache::SIG->set is now called at server startup by default
applied patch from Doug Bagley to stop possible infininite loop in

renamed 'core' test directory to 'internal'
remove t/TEST's search for obsolete directories, which caused trouble
on IRIX 6, spotted by Lasse Petersen
for internal redirects (spotted by $r->cgi_header_out), don't
perl_call_halt(), instead, tie STDOUT to the Apache::FakeRequest class
which just soaks up print() output.
suggestion from Salvador Ortiz, for table methods, if value is
undef, call table_unset underneath, these methods are subprocess_env,
header_in, header_out, err_header_out, notes and dir_config. e.g.:
$r->header_out("Content-length" => undef);

as suggested by Mike Fletcher
fixed typo bug in Apache::Status spotted by Brian Tiemann
=item 1.04 - 10/30/97
PerlScript and -Mmod_perl are no longer handed to perl_parse(),

$ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} (and possibly other switches -T, -w)
PerlScript is pulled in via 'do $PerlScript';
applied patch from Ron Hawkins to fix bug in perl_setup_env() when
running with Stronghold in secure mode
added Apache::PerlSections module, currently with one method: dump()
for use in <Perl> sections, PerlScript and PerlModules, can now say
'my $s = Apache->server' during server startup, which returns a
server_rec* blessed into the Apache::Server class just as $r->server
does during request time.
Apache::Server class can now warn() and log_error()
avoid using LWP::Simple so we don't get caught up on HTTP_PROXY which
was cause 'make test' to fail several tests for some people.
thanks to Philippe Froidevaux, Tom Hughes and Frank Cringle
added some 3rd-party tests for Apache::Stage and Apache::Sandwich
added Apache::test module

(can still try by setting $Apache::DoInternalRedirect=1 #ifndef USE_SFIO)
added Apache::SIG module for testing
Apache::exit will not rflush if r->connection->aborted
updated Vivek's mod_perl_tuning.pod
now that 1.3b3-dev config gears are not tied so tight to a FILE*,

-can click on module package for dump of its symbol table
-pretty table format
don't add -I. to perl_startup() which may cause confusion spotted by
Mike Fletcher
make _sure_ perl_per_request_init() is called for sub-requests so
everything works properly, e.g. Action or a mod_include'd #perl
thanks to Peter Levart and Scott Holdren for spotting this
=item 1.03 - 10/23/97
configure/build/INSTALL enhancements with much help from Bowen Dwelle:
- to use an apache Configuration file that mod_perl will not edit:
perl Makefile.PL CONFIG=Configuration.custom
- perl Makefile.PL DYNAMIC=1 ALL_HOOKS=1 ...
Configure mod_perl with ../apache_1.2.4/src ? [y]
Shall I build httpd in ../apache_1.2.4/src for you? [y] n
now, $APACHE_SRC/modules/perl/Makefile will be enabled with those hooks
- to aid EXTRA_CFLAGS when building by hand or using a custom
Configuration file: `perl -Mmod_perl -e subversion` prints:
SERVER_SUBVERSION=\"mod_perl/$mod_perl::VERSION\"
- fixed up INSTALL quite a bit
added $r->post_connection alias for $r->cleanup_handler
if 1.3b2+, drop log_error(), use new aplog_error() instead (everywhere)

removed Apache->request depreciation warning
added redirect.t test to test remote redirect and internal redirects
fixed internal re-direction handling of Location: /local/file.html
removed several eg/ scripts that were "ports" of CGI.pm-x.xx/examples
now that CGI.pm runs solid under mod_perl and mod_perl requires
5.004+, there's no need for $r->print and CGI::Switch, so those
examples don't need "porting"
force 'PerlSendHeader On' for sub-requests, e.g. Apache::Sandwich
so headers don't show up in the browser
fixed PerlSendHeader bug with virtual includes spotted by Scott Holdren
make lib/mod_perl.pm -> mod_perl.pm symlink (for 'make test') relative,

have Makefile.PL edit t/net/perl/cgi.pl's #! line to fix perl location
thanks to Frank Cringle for spotting this
=item 1.01 - 10/16/97
removed undocumented auto-import of qw(OK DECLINED) use to short-cut
Perl*Handlers and/or apache C handlers, use Apache::OK and
Apache::DECLINED instead
start perl interpreter with -Mmod_perl so _every_ module no matter
where it's loaded from will see $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} and $ENV{MOD_PERL}
Thanks to Mark Dedlow for illustrating this need with Apache::DBI and friends.
<Perl> section %Hash values of hash refs now go through
perl_handle_command_hv(), so `Location' can be inside %VirtualHost,
etc. Thanks to Ask Hansen for spotting this.
<Perl> section %Hash values of array refs now go though
perl_handle_command_av(), so proper action is used on TAKE1, etc.
if Tie::IxHash is available, tie <Perl> section %Hashes to it, so the
apache config routines get info in the order it needs to. Thanks to
Rob Hartill and Dean Gaudet for explaining this need for 1.3bx's
new virtual host features
include the mod_perl logo image (mod_perl.gif)
ensure _all_ stacked handlers registered with $r->push_handlers() are
cleared after each request to fix bug spotted by Peter Lister
test suite will now delete $ENV{HTTP_PROXY} before running,
thanks to Frank Cringle
Apache::Registry args changes:
-$_[0] is the blessed Apache request_rec
-$_[1..-1] are args from Apache::Include::handler or elsewhere
as suggested by Andreas
added tests for Apache::Include
applied Apache::Registry optimization patch from Andreas
Apache/Apache::Constants no longer ISA Exporter,
just alias *import = \&Exporter::import
test suite re-org
write a mod_perl.pm so we can require a mod_perl min version
and hooks/features ala
use mod_perl 1.01;
use mod_perl 1.01, qw(Authen Authz);
new Apache::RegistryLoader to pre-load Apache::Registry scripts
added Apache::Include->virtual($uri) method
1.3b1 stuff:
-cat apache_x.x.x/src/Makefile.config and src/modules/perl/Makefile
together so we get $(INCLUDES) (for os/unix, etc)
applied patch from Salvador Ortiz so calling $r->args in an
array context will not produce "Odd number of elements in hash list"
$r->auth_name can now be modified
remove Apache->send_cgi_header's broken internal re-direct handling
spotted by Debby Fu
added Frank Cringle's mod_perl FAQ
added mod_perl_tuning.pod document from Vivek Khera <khera@kciLink.com>

'PerlSetVar MaxModPerlRequestsPerChild 10' behaves like
MaxRequestsPerChild, but counts mod_perl requests only. 1.3b1-dev+ is
needed for this
=item 1.00_03 - 09/21/97

- fix ApacheModulePerl.dsp for source re-org
if PerlSendHeader is On, the environment variable PERL_SEND_HEADER is
set to `On'
=item 1.00_02 - 09/15/97
1.3b1 stuff:
- $r->warn and $r->log_error go through new aplog_error() function.
If `LogLevel' is not set to `warn' or higher, $r->warn messages are
ignored (not sent to error_log).
(i.e. $r->warn == APLOG_WARNING, $r->log_error == APLOG_ERR)
- always enable child_init/child_exit
+ use child_init for perl_init_ids()
+ use child_exit to:
-run END blocks suspended at server startup
-run perl_destruct(), now global objects will be DESTROYed
- make sure mod_include can find modules/perl/mod_perl.h if PERL_SSI=1
- fix INCDIR in src/modules/perl/Makefile

substr() instead of .=
Apache->seqno will no longer dig into scoreboard info for rec.my_access_count
the seqno method was originally introduced for CGI.pm, which now uses
$r->register_cleanup instead. It was never documented in Apache.pm,
does anyone actually use Apache->seqno?
perl_section() will call perl_startup() if Perl's not running already,
as suggested by Rob Hartill
included t/conf/httpd.conf.pl for testing <Perl>, which can replace
t/conf/httpd.conf if you've configured with PERL_SECTIONS=1

hookup STDERR to error_log first chance we get (first Perl*Handler
that's called)
$r->warn and $r->log_error will now join @_ and log one string instead
of calling log_error foreach @_, suggested by Joel Wagner
PerlScript may now be relative to ServerRoot
remove UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD from Apache::Debug (more trouble than help!)
make sent_header variable per-directory instead of global
added $r->bytes_sent method suggested by Maurice Aubrey
along with code from Nathan Torkington to make sure we get it right as
mod_log_common does
added fix to Apache::Include from Randal Schwartz so $r->uri is
properly reset
SetEnv PERL5LIB will now work on a per-directory basis thanks to spot
by Vivek Khera

John Groenveld
some source re-org: split stuff into perl_util.c and perlio.c,
rename config.c -> perl_config.c, various cleanups
the constants.t test is now run under httpd with t/net/constants.pl
Apache::Constants not longer defines subs at startup. we now use a C
AUTOLOAD which creates newSUBs when needed, without eval {} and
without "prototype mismatch" errors. This shrunk my httpd image size
by ~50K
according to Joel Wagner, Solaris's tar did not like the trailing / on
the Apache/ argument to the tar_Apache target in Makefile. gone now.
thanks to help from Vern Hart, Apache::Registry will now include

constants from httpd.h, :methods import tag and some cleanups
applied Makefile.PL patch from Andreas Koenig adding verbosity
if there's a problem with t/report
PerlNewSendHeader functionality has replaced PerlSendHeader's
the `PerlNewSendHeader' directive is gone, replace with `PerlSendHeader'
fixed Apache::exit so it no longer calls C-level exit (unless exit
code == -2), it now just terminates the perl callback, without
producing an "Internal Server Error" therefor, we complete _all_
post-handler request phases and no longer dump core, as some have seen
under certain conditions. the test suite nows tests calling exit()
applied patch from Brian Millett to Makefile, so SSL_CFLAGS are used
with Ben-SSL
=item 1.00 - 07/28/97
some 1.3a1 compatible things:
- mod_perl is now a dll under win32
(Extra thanks to Gurusamy Sarathy for fixing Perl so this works)
- cope with limit() -> limit_section() rename

- added win32 dirent.h kludge to workaround conflict(s) between perl's
dirent.h apache's readdir.h
- -Wall clean again
added new sub request methods:
- lookup_uri (sub_req_lookup_uri)
- lookup_file (sub_req_lookup_file)
The returned request_rec * is blessed into the `Apache::SubRequest'
class so destroy_sub_req() is called automatically during DESTROY
- the run_sub_req() function is available in this class as the run() method
added patched Makefile.tmpl-Xcert from Vivek Khera to support XCert's Stronghold Sentry
$r->cgi_header_out should do case-insensive checks,
bug spotted by Ralf Engelschall

fixed scoping bug in Apache::Registry spotted by Marshall Dudley
append LockFile to t/conf/httpd.conf if SERVER_VERSION >= 1.2.1
add ''s for CC='$(CC)' workaround for bug spotted by David Lloyd and others
added Apache::Debug->import so 'use Apache::Debug level => 4' will:
-level sets $Apache::Registry::Debug
-define UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD to stop spinning when undefined sub is called
-Carp::confess instead of die()
-allocate $^M if $Config{cflags} =~ /EMERGENCY_SBRK/
croak() if should_client_block() to prevent spin into "Out of memory!"
make compatible with 1.2.1 r->read_length change so we don't hang
on file uploads

Michael Parker
Andrew Tennant reported that `PassEnv' didn't work.
we now turn off %ENV magic when clearing %ENV so it does work

- 'make test' will pause (sleep 2) between starting httpsd and running the tests
swap link order of Makefile.tmpl for Stronghold, regardless of version,
thanks to Ted Corning
perl_clear_env() will now leave $ENV{TZ} in place to
cure bug with hpux 9.04 spotted and suggested fix from
1Lt. Samuel S. Tai
Apache::Registry will now 'chdir dirname $r->filename' before the
script/subroutine is compiled so 'use Foo' can find Foo.pm in '.'
bug spotted by Janne Himanka
win32 port:
-added INSTALL.win32
-added src/modules/perl/mod_perl.mak
-tweaked Makefile.PL:
-does not try to build httpd

fix bug with PERL_METHOD_HANDLERS spotted by Eric Bartley
=item 0.98_12
applied patch from Alexander Demenshin <aldem@techie.com> to plug
leaks in perl_{stdout,stdin}2client
can now say 'perl Makefile.PL PERL_SSI=1' to enable mod_include stuff
the link order of apache 1.2b12-dev has been switched back to the way
it was in b10, now we only have to muck with Makefile.tmpl if $Is_b11
once again, ensure CGI.pm knows GATEWAY_INTERFACE if it is use'd in a
PerlScript, thanks to Tom Hughes for spotting this
removed trick to make `require Apache::TieHandle' a noop, *nobody*
should still have that in any code, if so, sorry, get rid of it!
inspired by Pai-Ling Hsiao, added tiny Apache::Include module so the
mod_include <--!#perl directive can take advantage of
Apache::Registry, like so:
<!--#perl sub="Apache::Include" arg="/perl/ssi.pl" -->
added $r->translate_name method to run translate handlers
fix Apache::Status so it sends http headers! spotted by Mike Stok
have cgi.t skip its tests if CGI.pm is not installed, for Rob, the
only person in the whole world who doesn't have CGI.pm installed ;-)
s/make/$(MAKE)/ for 'make test_report' thanks to Tom Hughes

added BSDI dynamic loading notes from Gary Shea <shea@xmission.com> to
the INSTALL doc
added PRINTF method (again!) for tie'd STDOUT, spotted by Kristina Helen Long
the following stuff now works inside <Perl></Perl> sections:
- %VirtualHost, %Files and %Directory
- implemented <Limit GET POST> sections like so:
$Location{"/~dougm/"} = {
AuthUserFile => '/tmp/htpasswd',
AuthType => 'Basic',
AuthName => 'Homepage',
Limit => {
METHODS => 'GET POST',
require => 'user dougm',
},
};
- `PerlModule' configuration directive
set $SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE'; when the server starts to avoid hosing when:
`Apache->print lost connection to client'
thanks to Aaron Flin for the tip
=item 0.98_03 - 05/19/97
construct Perl interperter the first time perl_startup is called
rather than the second:
-slapped self upside head wondering why I did not do this before
-now -DAPACHE_SSL for Stronghold or Ben-SSL does not matter
-<Perl></Perl> sections work again
-ugly avoid_first_alloc_hack is gone!
added `ENVIRONMENT' section to mod_perl.pod
added `PerlSetEnv' configuration directive
back to only PerlHandler enabled by default
if STATIC=1 is configured during 'perl Makefile.PL', Apache::Constants
will also be linked static. This is the default on aix and bsdos.
$r->register_cleanup will now save a pointer to the request_rec
rather than doing it in PerlTransHandler
applied patch from Martin Pool <m.pool@pharos.com.au> so we see the real
line number if something goes wrong in an Apache::Registry script
now add -I./ and -I$Config{archlibexp}/CORE to EXTRA_CFLAGS for
mod_include integration
=item 0.98_02
$r->send_http_header now resets $r->status to 200 after calling
send_http_header() to squash double header w/ Location: bug
spotted by Jonathan Lieberman
added $r->cgi_header_out so we can _really_ send headers the way
mod_cgi does (e.g. Set-Cookie bug spotted by Jonathan Lieberman)
=item 0.98_01
made room for args in perl_call_handler() for mod_include integration
in the future, this can be used to pass arguments to Perl*Handlers:
PerlHandlerArgs Package::sub_name OneArg TwoArg RedArg BlueArg
split out some config routines from mod_perl.c to config.c
fixed bug in Apache/Makefile.PL thanks to Jeff Rowe
now use translate slot to do some initialization
Perl*Handlers can now be anonymous subs (need 5.003_98+), e.g.:
PerlFixupHandler "sub { shift->header_out(Key => 'val') }"
finally get cleanups right:
- PerlCleanupHandler is now run during PerlLogHandler
- new method $r->register_cleanup uses register_cleanup
underneath and is always available
@INC is now reset to default after each request
fixed "const char *" bug in typemap spotted by Honza Pazdziora
=item 0.98 - 05/02/97
save a pointer to request_rec in the translate stage so we always have one
for PerlCleanupHandler (e.g. no PerlHandler first), tracked down by Eric Bartley
PerlTransHandler enabled by default now
don't use server_argv0 when intializing perl_startup's argv[], caught by Andreas
remove headers.t, will bring back in 0.98_01 and flesh out PerlNewSendHeader

go back to $|=1 #ifdef USE_SFIO, caught by Salvador Ortiz
=item 0.97_02 - 04/29/97
added documentation for stacked handlers and a little for method handlers.
$^X is now set to server_argv0 as suggested by Frank Cringle
Apache::Registry will now require CGI.pm version 2.35 or higher if you
are using it. Makefile.PL will also test and warn if it is < 2.35
removed examplish modules from the distribution into the contrib directory:
AuthzAge.pm, AccessLimitNum.pm, MsqlProxy.pm, SSI.pm
the contrib directory will be tar'd and uploaded to CPAN when updated.
added headers.t test for Perl(New)SendHeader
added option to link httpd with static Apache.o (the original way),
(Eric Bartley reported problems on aix with Apache.so, others?)
like so: perl Makefile.PL STATIC=1
only bother setting $$ once per-child
%ENV is now cleared by a registered cleanup function, rather than
after PerlHandler is called
applied patch from Andreas to ensure APACHE_SSL is defined if
we're configuring with it
putback -DSERVER_SUBVERSION now that netscape workaround is in 1.2b9
PerlNewSendHeader enhancement so headers don't need to be part of
a single print statement.
applied fix from Rob Hartill so Makefile.PL can parse beta version >= 10!
properly initialize cld->new_sendheader thanks to Rob Hartill
$r->print is now an xsub for speedup, even with the new
extra operation of checking $|, it's faster:
Benchmark: timing 100 iterations of 0.97_01, 0.97_02...
0.97_01: 9 secs ( 2.03 usr 0.19 sys = 2.22 cpu)
0.97_02: 8 secs ( 1.84 usr 0.17 sys = 2.01 cpu)
sfapachewrite() will now call Apache->print
if $| is non-zero, call rflush() after writing to the client
$| is reset to 0 before PerlHandler is called
applied patch from Eric Bartley to:
-add get_remote_logname() method
-update Apache.pm documentation including:
get_remote_logname, auth_type, auth_name, document_root, notes
fix so $r->rflush works with older apache's
=item 0.97_01 - 04/22/97
added experimental `PerlNewSendHeader' config directive
works like `PerlSendHeader', but scans headers for special
headers like Location:, Status:, etc.
simply uses a C global variable `sent_header', if true, sends
data asis to client, otherwise calls $r->send_cgi_header
currently, does not work with sfio (yet) and this only works if a
single print statement sends the headers like so:
print "Status: 302\n",
"Location: http://www.somewhere.com/\n",
"Content-type: text/html\n\n";
"fixed" new preg* clashes w/ 1.2b9-dev spotted by Dean Gaudet
reworked callback mechanism a bit:
- folded duplicate code in run_stacked_handlers() + perl_call()
- gv_fetchmethod called only if -DPERL_METHOD_HANDLERS
- perl_handler_ismethod now() uses class stash in gv_fetchmethod
- cache CV from perl_get_cv lookup if -DPERL_STACKED_HANDLERS
- included patch from Eric Bartley so we can say:
`Class->method' in Perl*Handler's if -DPERL_METHOD_HANDLERS
- fixed bug spotted by Rob Hartill so Perl*Handler (OK|DECLINED) work again
- added minimal tests for stacked handlers and method handlers
- PERL_METHOD_HANDLERS=1 can be set when running Makefile.PL
PerlCleanupHandler now uses register_cleanup underneath,
instead of abusing the logger slot.
PerlCleanupHandler is enabled by default
added PRINTF for tie'd STDOUT
detached Apache.o from httpd, now a dynamic extension. here's why:
- shinks httpd size
- possible to 'use Apache ()' outside of httpd
(very few methods will work though!)
- once mod_perl.c settles it will be possible to upgrade mod_perl
without rebuilding httpd!
added $r->server_root_relative function
Apache::Status has 2 new menu items (need Devel::Symdump 1.99_01+):
- "Inheritance Tree"
- "ISA Tree"
added new CGI.pm tests from Andreas
=item 0.97 - 04/15/97

Apache->seqno will use the scoreboard's my_access_count if the -DSTATUS
option is enabled (default if mod_status is configured in)
=item 0.95_03
with 1.2b8-dev+, we no longer need a Makefile.tmpl
added Apache->max_requests_per_child method
now have taint.t test
added <Perl> config section (see httpd.conf.pl)
(needs 'perl Makefile.PL PERL_SECTIONS=1')
Apache::Registry will now chdir to directory where the script
Apache::AuthenDBI and Apache::Authen removed from distribution,
now maintained by John Groenveld and Steve Kane
added PerlInitHandler and PerlCleanupHandler hooks

than one Perl*Handler to be defined and run during each stage of the
request.
Perl*Handler directives can now define any number of subroutines, e.g.
PerlTransHandler OneTrans TwoTrans RedTrans BlueTrans
with a new method, Apache->push_handlers can add to the stack by
scripts at runtime
PerlLogHandler enabled by default during "stacked handlers" experiment
applied patches from Andreas to quiet prototype warnings seen with
perl5.003_94
applied patches from Gerald Richter <richter@ecos.de> to:
-add Apache::uri_unescape_info function (and make $r->args/content use it)
-built Apache::MyConfig module
-Term::Readline Makefile.PL support for history, etc.
=item 0.95 - 03/20/97

Perl*Handler package names no longer require a '::' to default
to PackageName::handler() when Perl*Handler is just PackageName
renamed eg/MyPackage.pl to startup.pl, pruned way down to
discourage use of PerlScript and avoid the confusion it has caused in
the past
updated Makefile.tmpl-1.2 to work with 1.2b8-dev, there will be
a "Multiple rules lines" warning, once 1.2b8 is released, we'll
take this out

*STDIN is now tie'd to the client, only works if perl version is
>= 5.003_93
removed Apache::TieHandle from the distribution as it is no longer
needed. however, scripts that are currently using:
use Apache:TieHandle ();
tie *STDOUT => "Apache::TieHandle";
will not break, but will produce a no longer needed warning
removed Apache::Registry's attempt to honor __END__, as Andreas
pointed out, this can't really be done right unless we have
Perl::Lex and Perl::Parse :-)
applied Makefile.PL patch from Andreas to use modules instead of
system() where possible
Apache::Constants now defines SERVER_SUBVERSION,
as suggested by Andreas
removed is_perlaliased from Apache::Debug, caught by Andreas

added $r->is_initial_req method, now used by these modules:
Apache::AuthenDBI, Apache::AccessLimitNum, Apache::AuthzAge

which is an alias for Apache::log_error
Apache::exit now overrides CORE::exit in Apache::Registry scripts,
now converted CGI scripts can safely call plain 'ol exit;

added $r->connection->aborted method
added $r->the_request and $r->header_only methods

applied Makefile.PL patch from Rob Hartill so we compile with 1.2b3
=item 0.87
As suggested by Andreas, Makefile.PL now asks:
"Configure mod_perl with ../apache_xxx ?"
answering 'y' only means there is where we can find *.h
"Shall I build httpd in $adir for you?"
answering 'y' will run ../apache_xxx/Configure
and httpd will be built when running 'make'
$r->read now returns $nrd as it should
'perl Makefile.PL NO_HTTPD=1' will build only the perl side of
mod_perl (still need httpd.h for Constants.sl)

made on fixing perl_{con,des}truct in 5.003_12
if there is no httpd.conf, Makefile.PL creates one for you, filling in
User and Group with uid and gid of the current process
updated Makefile.tmpl-1.2 with Makefile.tmpl from apache 1.2b2
if Makefile.PL finds apache version >= 1.2b3, instead of copying
Makefile.tmpl to ../src/apache_x.x, it uses the new '-make Makefile.tmpl'
option, made possible by Rob Hartill
otherwise, same as before and it now tells you it's made a backup
'Makefile.tmpl.bak'
fixed 'make test', so you _really_ don't have to modify anything,
hopefully
if libwww-perl is not installed, the tests that require it will not be run,

applied patch from Rob Hartill to fix bug in $r->cgi_env
%ENV is cleared after each callback (&Perl*Handler)

mistake of calling in a list context.
if a Perl*Handler returns something > 600 we assume OK (for now)
bug fixed introduced in 0.85_03 for Perl*Handler's not prefixed with
a Package:: causing httpd to sigsegv
ship with Makefile.tmpl-Ben-SSL for Apache-SSL users
Makefile.PL a little smarter
-knows if we're configuring with Ben-SSL, uses Makefile.tmpl-Ben-SSL
-after looking for 1.1.1 and 1.2*, globs for <apache*> not <apache_*>
-instead of rm -rf'ing the modules/perl/ directory we're configuring
against, we only rm -f those found in our MANIFEST

updated INSTALL and README docs
perl_init will only perl_alloc and perl_contstruct once when the server
starts, meaning no more mad leaks when server is restarted
modified test suite adding extra tests for sfio and TIEHANDLE
unless Perl was configured to use perlio and sfio, STDOUT is tied by default to
the client, no more need for tie *STDOUT => Apache::TieHandle
Makefile.PL now looks for ../apache_1.1.1/src/, apache_1.2*/src/ to configure
against
Fixed Makefile.PL bug spotted by Frank Cringle <fdc@CLIWE.PING.DE>,

get_basic_auth_pw now returns the $send_pw, rather that setting it,
see Apache.pm docs
applied patch from Andreas with the following changes:
1) regex directory added in Constants/Makefile.PL. Current apache
always needs -Iregex, that means for us an additional
-I$httpd/regex. I think, they should
#include <regex/something.h>
2) Assorted comments added to INSTALL, especially
* FileHandle bug explained as being a 5.003 bug (not "current")
* Configuration/Configuration.tmpl relation explained
* && instead of ; to separate commands is a must in Makefiles
* Gisle's hint about the default seems very important to me, so is
there again.
3) Drops the deprecated mod_alias patch from the whole distribution
4) A whitespace patch for src/modules/perl/Makefile
5) The regex directory also for src/modules/perl/Makefile

handler stage (PerlHandler)
reworked installation procedure to follow apache 1.2 recomendations,
the procedure will still work with older versions of apache.
No more Makefile.tmpl.x.x.x mess!!

=item 0.83_03
Perl*Handler's are now called with Apache->request as an argument
PerlHandler's may still ask for Apache->request so existing code and
mechanisms such as Apache::Registry will continue to work
However, other handlers such as PerlAuthenHandler and PerlTransHandler,
cannot use Apache->request.
added Apache::Constants module, based on patch to Apache.xs
from Gisle
updated Apache::Debug with patch from Gisle to
- update the status codes from the latest
