=head1 VERSION
v0.1.2
=head1 DESCRIPTION
L<Apache2::SSI::Notes> provides a mean to share notes in and out of Apache/mod_perl2 environment.
The interface is loosely mimicking L<APR::Table> on some, but not all, methods.
So you could have in your script, outside of Apache:
$notes->set( API_ID => 1234567 );
And then, under mod_perl, in your file:
<!--#if expr="note('API_ID')" -->
Normally, the C<note> function would work only for values set and retrieved inside the Apache/mod_perl2 framework, but with L<Apache2::SSI::Notes>, you can set a note, say, in a command line script and share it with your Server-Side Includes files.
To achieve this sharing of notes, L<Apache2::SSI::Notes> uses shared memory (see L<perlipc>) with L<Apache2::SSI::SharedMem> that does the heavy work.
However, this only works when L<Apache2::SSI> is in charge of parsing SSI files. Apache mod_includes module will not recognise notes stored outside of Apache/mod_perl framework.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
This instantiates a notes object. It takes the following parameters:
=over 4
=item I<debug>
A debug value will enable debugging output (equal or above 3 actually)
=item I<size>
The fixed size of the memory allocation. It defaults to 524,288 bytes which is 512 Kb, which should be ample enough.
=back
An object will be returned if it successfully initiated, or undef() upon error, which can then be retrieved with C<Apache2::SSI::Notes->error>. You should always check the return value of the methods used here for their definedness.
my $notes = Apache2::SSI::Notes->new ||
die( Apache2::SSI::Notes->error );
=head2 add
This is an alias for set.
=head2 clear
Empty all the notes. Beware that this will empty the notes for all the processes, since the notes are stored in a shared memory.
=head2 do
Provided with a callback as a code reference, and optionally an array of keys, and this will loop through all keys or the given keys if any, and call the callback passing it the key and its value.
For example:
$notes->do(sub
{
my( $n, $v ) = @_;
if( $n =~ /name/ )
{
$_[1] = Encode::decode( 'utf8', $_[1] );
}
});
=head2 get
Provided with a key and this retrieve its corresponding value, whatever that may be.
my $val = $notes->get( 'name' );
If no key is provided, it returns all the notes as an hash reference.
my $all = $notes->get;
print( "API id is $all->{api}\n" );
Or maybe
print( "API id is ", $notes->get->{api}, "\n" );
=head2 read_mem
Access the shared memory and return the hash reference stored.
If an error occurred, C<undef()> is returned and an L<Module::Generic/error> is set, which can be retrieved like:
die( $notes->error );
Be careful however, that L</get> may return C<undef()> not because an error would have occurred, but because this is the value you would have previously set.
=head2 set
Provided with a key and value pair, and this will set its entry into the notes hash accordingly.
$notes->set( name => 'John Doe' );
It returns the notes object to enable chaining.
=head2 shem
Returns the current value of the L<Apache2::SSI::SharedMem> object.
You can also set an alternative value, but this is not advised unless you know what you are doing.
=head2 size
Sets or gets the shared memory block size.
This should really not be changed. If you do want to change it, you first need to remove the shared memory.
$notes->shem->remove;
And then create a new L<Apache2::SSI::Notes> object with a different size parameter value.
=head2 unset
Remove the notes entry for the given key.
# No more name key:
$notes->unset( 'name' );
It returns the notes object to enable chaining.
=head2 write_mem
Provided with data, and this will write the data to the shared memory.
