Following up on Ken's patch of Apache::test and his desire to have a
module which will retrieve the installed mod_perl specific information. I
was thinking that it would be a nice to have an Apache::Config for
mod_perl 2.0, similar to Config.pm in Perl. The module should store all
the information about configuration, including the build options. So other
3rd party modules will benefit from approaching this module, when they
need this kind of information.
I'd even store the perl Makefile.PL args as a single argument, so one can
rebuild mod_perl with the same options from the last build by running:
perl Makefile `perl -MApache::Config -e 'print Apache::Config::buildopts'`
or alike. Of course this is a minor issue, but it happens more and more
often than module writers need to know things about the installed mod_perl
to be able to run proper test and report potential errors before users
actually encounter and then come to the author, demanding an answer.
What do you think?
