<h3><a name="intro">Introduction</a></h3>
The Apache/Perl module list is here for the same reason as the
Perl module list</a>, to change duplication of effort into cooperation
and help to save the world! Apache/Perl modules are somewhat different
from the many others found on CPAN. Most Perl modules are
"building blocks", developers use them
to build applications or even more building blocks.
It just so happens
that Apache/Perl modules are encapsulted inside a namespace and .pm file.
However, this does not make them all building blocks, many are just like
apache modules written in C, you install, edit the server configuration
files and you're done. Before you start a new module, consider this:
Apache/Perl modules are useless outside of mod_perl and Apache. Do your best
to design such that your <b>Apache::*</b> module will make good use of the
building blocks found on CPAN, putting together new building blocks where
appropriate and simply glue them together with the Apache
API, keeping the <b>Apache::*</b> modules very small.
<p>
These modules will also serve as good examples, showing you where modules
can step in during a stage of a request with <b>Perl*Handler</b> callbacks.
You'll also see how and when to use the Apache API methods.
<h3><a name="part">Playing Your Part</a></h3>
Apache and Perl are world-wide collaborative efforts, naturally, the
Apache/Perl integration project is the same.<br>
You've started on the right foot simply by reading this document, thanks!<br>
Please be sure you've read the
Perl module list</a>, all that is said there is relevant here!
<p>
If you have any additions or changes for the list, please send them to
the Apache/Perl <a href="mailto:modperl@apache.org"> mailing list </a>
or to <a href="mailto:dougm@pobox.com">me</a>.
<p>
If you wish to share you module(s) the Perl way, by putting them on CPAN,
send a request to <a href="mailto:dougm@pobox.com">me</a> or
<a href="mailto:modules@perl.com">modules@perl.com</a> to get set up with a
PAUSE user id and directory.

<h3><a name="where">Where Are The Modules Kept?</a></h3>
Modules listed with the <b>APML</b> as is contact are part of the
mod_perl distribution package. Other modules can be found on CPAN
modules/by-module/Apache/</A> directory. If they have not made it
to CPAN yet, they might be found in the mod_perl
directory, which is also tar'd and distributed via CPAN in the
modules/by-module/Apache/</A> directory.
Otherwise, feel free to ask the contact author or the list
how you can go about getting your hands on a copy.
