mod_perl-0.99

Changes for version 0.99

added DO_HTTPD option to avoid configuration prompts, suggested by Michael Alan Dorman
only build Constants.s[ol] with DYNAMIC=1
swap link order in Makefile.tmpl for Stronghold as we did for b11 thanks to Ted Corning for spotting
applied patch from Rob so 'make tar_Apache' creates the tarball in $PWD
@Lists in <Perl> sections can now deal with TAKE2, TAKE23, TAKE3, etc.
updated FAQ pointers to Frank's new version
Apache::Registry will return OK instead of $r->status, suggested by Owen Scott Medd
skip t/constants/export test on platforms that don't support dl
removed Apache::CGI stub
removed alias for Apache::CGI::exit and Apache::TieHandle::TIEHANDLE
cleanup up Makefile.PL, no longer support 1.2bx's
another patch applied from Alexander Demenshin who found av_undef does not take care of everything, we must SvREFCNT_dec too!
fix bug with PERL_METHOD_HANDLERS spotted by Eric Bartley

applied patch from Alexander Demenshin <aldem@techie.com> to plug leaks in perl_{stdout,stdin}2client
can now say 'perl Makefile.PL PERL_SSI=1' to enable mod_include stuff
the link order of apache 1.2b12-dev has been switched back to the way it was in b10, now we only have to muck with Makefile.tmpl if $Is_b11
once again, ensure CGI.pm knows GATEWAY_INTERFACE if it is use'd in a PerlScript, thanks to Tom Hughes for spotting this
removed trick to make `require Apache::TieHandle' a noop, *nobody* should still have that in any code, if so, sorry, get rid of it!
inspired by Pai-Ling Hsiao, added tiny Apache::Include module so the mod_include <--!#perl directive can take advantage of Apache::Registry, like so:
-
added $r->translate_name method to run translate handlers
fix Apache::Status so it sends http headers! spotted by Mike Stok
have cgi.t skip it's tests if CGI.pm is not installed, for Rob, the only person in the whole world who doesn't have CGI.pm installed ;-)
s/make/$(MAKE)/ for 'make test_report' thanks to Tom Hughes

if mod_php is in Configuration, keep Makefile.tmpl link order as is, and set Rule WANTHSREGEX=no
removed `BrowserMatch' from t/conf/httpd.conf
can now 'make test' without needing to run 'make' first
get rid of Manifest warnings during 'perl Makefile.PL'
reset $/ to "\n" after each request (t/net/test will test this)
set $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} before perl_run() so it's set for server startup PerlScript's

fixed bug in Apache::perl_hook('Access') spotted by Eric Bartley
applied patch from Peter Levart <Peter.Levart@SELECT-TECH.SI> to make Apache::parse_args more reliable
if using Perl 5.003, use system cp since File::Copy is broken, bug spotted by Rob
switch link order in Makefile.tmpl back to what it was in b10 (tmp workaround): s/$(LIBS) $(REGLIB)/$(REGLIB) $(LIBS)/ Thanks to hint from Mike Fletcher

smoothed out Stronghold configuration bumps with help from Ted Corning <ted@newscorp.com>. (see updated INSTALL)
documented <Perl> sections in mod_perl.pod
added eg/perl_sections.txt from Rob

added BSDI dynamic loading notes from Gary Shea <shea@xmission.com> to the INSTALL doc
added PRINTF method (again!) for tie'd STDOUT, spotted by Kristina Helen Long
the following stuff now works inside <Perl></Perl> sections:
%VirtualHost, %Files and %Directory
implemented <Limit GET POST> sections like so: $Location{"/~dougm/"} = { AuthUserFile => '/tmp/htpasswd', AuthType => 'Basic', AuthName => 'Homepage', Limit => { METHODS => 'GET POST', require => 'user dougm', }, };
`PerlModule' configuration directive
set $SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE'; when the server starts to avoid hosing when: `Apache->print lost connection to client' thanks to Aaron Flin for the tip

construct Perl interperter the first time perl_startup is called rather than the second: -slapped self upside head wondering why I did not do this before -now -DAPACHE_SSL for Stronghold or Ben-SSL does not matter -<Perl></Perl> sections work again -ugly avoid_first_alloc_hack is gone!
added `ENVIRONMENT' section to mod_perl.pod
added `PerlSetEnv' configuration directive
back to only PerlHandler enabled by default
if STATIC=1 is configured during 'perl Makefile.PL', Apache::Constants will also be linked static. This is the default on aix and bsdos.
$r->register_cleanup will now save a pointer to the request_rec rather than doing it in PerlTransHandler
applied patch from Martin Pool <m.pool@pharos.com.au> so we see the real line number if something goes wrong in an Apache::Registry script
now add -I./ and -I$Config{archlibexp}/CORE to EXTRA_CFLAGS for mod_include integration

$r->send_http_header now resets $r->status to 200 after calling send_http_header() to squash double header w/ Location: bug spotted by Jonathan Lieberman
added $r->cgi_header_out so we can _really_ send headers the way mod_cgi does (e.g. Set-Cookie bug spotted by Jonathan Lieberman)

made room for args in perl_call_handler() for mod_include integration in the future, this can be used to pass arguments to Perl*Handlers:
- PerlHandlerArgs Package::sub_name OneArg TwoArg RedArg BlueArg
split out some config routines from mod_perl.c to config.c
fixed bug in Apache/Makefile.PL thanks to Jeff Rowe
now use translate slot to do some initialization
Perl*Handlers can now be anonymous subs (need 5.003_98+), e.g.:
- PerlFixupHandler "sub { shift->header_out(Key => 'val') }"
finally get cleanups right:
PerlCleanupHandler is now run during PerlLogHandler
new method $r->register_cleanup uses register_cleanup underneath and is always available
@INC is now reset to default after each request
fixed "const char *" bug in typemap spotted by Honza Pazdziora
