Hey mod_perl developers, I am beginning to work with mod_perl, porting things like Apache::ASP & the Hello World benchmarks, and am finding some things that could be improved.
Can we get the old %args = $r->args functionality back, at least in Apache::compat mode? This is just for basic param parsing I use in some of the benchmarks. I could have used Apache::Request->param possibly, but it seems that does not exist yet under 2.0 Also, can Apache::compat be trigger automatically by the perl-script directive? Since the perl-script directive, as opposed to the new modperl one, seems to have lots of backwards compatibility hooks, how about just hooking up Apache::compat to it too? Otherwise, I think module authors will have to add it themselves to all the modules to explicitly maintain compatibility with 2.0. The effect of this is that modules that are not being actively maintained will automatically break under 2.0, and there are *so many* Apache modules out there. This allows perl-script to pretty much "just work" like it used to, while still providing an upgrade path to modperl directive for those that want to use the new APIs explicitly. Thanks for all the work so far, it looks like it has shaped up really well.
