mod_perl

Changes for version 1.07_03

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: mv "t/conf/httpd.conf", "t/conf/httpd.conf.old" so httpd.conf is re-generated when Makefile.PL is re-run
added new module Apache::src for finding it and picking out bits-n-pieces
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' 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. syntax error at t/conf/httpd.conf line 25 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

added MM_test method for Makefile.PL's to say: *MY::test = \&Apache::test::MM_test
some httpd_conf.pm stuff:

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::
fix possible core dump when calling gv_fetchmethod()

Apache::SIG->set is now called at server startup by default
