Changes for version 1.04
- PerlScript and -Mmod_perl are no longer handed to perl_parse(), instead perl_parse() gets a -e to set $ENV{MOD_PERL} and $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} (and possibly other switches -T, -w) PerlScript is pulled in via 'do $PerlScript';
- applied patch from Ron Hawkins to fix bug in perl_setup_env() when running with Stronghold in secure mode
- added Apache::PerlSections module, currently with one method: dump()
- for use in <Perl> sections, PerlScript and PerlModules, can now say 'my $s = Apache->server' during server startup, which returns a server_rec* blessed into the Apache::Server class just as $r->server does during request time.
- Apache::Server class can now warn() and log_error()
- avoid using LWP::Simple so we don't get caught up on HTTP_PROXY which was cause 'make test' to fail several tests for some people. thanks to Philippe Froidevaux, Tom Hughes and Frank Cringle
- added some 3rd-party tests for Apache::Stage and Apache::Sandwich
- added Apache::test module
- back out support for internal redirects, caused big problems with sfio-enabled Perl spotted by Lupe Christoph and Salvador Ortiz Garcia (can still try by setting $Apache::DoInternalRedirect=1 #ifndef USE_SFIO)
- added Apache::SIG module for testing
- Apache::exit will not rflush if r->connection->aborted
- updated Vivek's mod_perl_tuning.pod
- now that 1.3b3-dev config gears are not tied so tight to a FILE*, <Perl> sections may define $PerlConfig and/or @PerlConfig, who's string values are fed to the apache config
- some mod_perl.pm fixes
- Apache::Status "Loaded Modules" item enhancements: -now shows file location -can click on module package for dump of it's symbol table -pretty table format
- don't add -I. to perl_startup() which may cause confusion spotted by Mike Fletcher
- make _sure_ perl_per_request_init() is called for sub-requests so everything works properly, e.g. Action or a mod_include'd #perl thanks to Peter Levart and Scott Holdren for spotting this
