mod_perl

Changes for version 0.85_03

cleaned up internal perl_setup_env()
Perl*Handler's default to calling Perl*Handler::handler if the Perl*Handler is just a class name, e.g. 'PerlHandler Apache::Registry' will call Apache::Registry::handler In addition, the class module will be loaded if it is not already, so there is no need to specify PerlModule
added Apache::Status module
$r->print now sets a hard_timeout() before sending to the client $r->read now sets a hard_timeout() before reading from the client
added $r->soft_timeout, $r->hard_timeout, $r->kill_timeout and $r->reset_timeout methods
top-level Makefile.PL looks further for apache_x.x/src/ prompts you if nothing found
applied fix from Andreas to s/privlib/privlibexp/ in src/modules/perl/Makefile
applied patch from Rob Hartill <robh@imdb.com> to correctly initialize cld->sendheader and cld->setup_env

Apache::DBIAuthen renamed Apache::AuthenDBI and split out from Apache::Authen
Apache::Authen->handler renamed Apache::Authen->check as it is not a handler, only used by handlers
added ToDo file
updated UserGuide, now called 'mod_perl.pod'
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>, when no apache source was present or chosen to configure against
'make clean' will now cd $(APACHE_SRC) && $(MAKE) clean
applied patch from Rob Hartill <robh@imdb.com> to bring us up-to-date with apache_1.2b0
$r->content now calls $r->read instead of $r->read_client_block
$r->read is no longer an alias for $r->read_client_block The new $r->read implementation is based on patches and ideas from Milan Votava <ms.anet.cz@MS.ANET.CZ>, Joonsuk Bae <bae@yahoo.com>, and Gisle

added 'tar_Apache' target for copying the perl-side of mod_perl to other machines without dragging the apache-side along.
'perl Makefile.PL' now Configures Apache to link mod_perl if ../apache_1.2-dev or ../apache_1.1.1 src/Configuration is found In addition, 'apache_httpd' is added to the 'make all' target
now include Makefile.tmpl-1.2
fix for 1.2's const requirement
