NAME
HTML::Mason::Commands - Old Mason command reference
DESCRIPTION
This was the documentation for the mc_
command set. In Mason 0.8 and beyond, mc_
commands have been replaced by the new HTML::Mason::Request API. e.g.
mc_comp becomes $m->comp
mc_file becomes $m->file
etc.
Below is a description of how to convert your mc_
commands to $m
methods. There is also a utility provided with the distribution, bin/convert0.8.pl, that performs these conversions for you. For backwards compatibility mc_
commands still work for a limited time but will eventually go away.
mc_abort
becomes$m->abort
mc_auto_comp
becomes$m->fetch_next->path
mc_auto_next
becomes$m->call_next
mc_cache
becomes$m->cache
mc_cache_self
becomes$m->cache_self
mc_caller
becomes$m->callers(1)->path
mc_call_self
becomes$m->call_self
mc_comp
becomes$m->comp
mc_comp_exists
becomes$m->comp_exists
mc_comp_source()
becomes$m->current_comp->source_file
mc_comp_source(path)
becomes$m->fetch_comp(path)->source_file
. This no longer works with nonexistent components as it used to.mc_comp_stack
becomesmap($_->title,$m->callers)
mc_date
goes away, this was a legacy function. Replace by calling the date formatting function of your choice on$m->time
.mc_dhandler_arg
becomes$m->dhandler_arg
mc_file
becomes$m->file
mc_file_root
becomes$m->file_root
mc_out
becomes$m->out
mc_time
becomes$m->time
mc_suppress_http_header
(with or without argument) no longer has any effect and can simply be removed. See Devel/Sending HTTP Headers for more information.
