mod_perl is written in Perl and C. XS is used to glue the two. If you
cannot find a function in the perl code it's probably coded in C and you
will find the interface in XS file. A simple find, reveals that:
% cd /usr/src/mod_perl-1.21_dev
% find . -type f -exec grep perl_hook {} \;
gives:
[snipped]
perl_hook(name);
[snipped]
Now looking for the XS file:
% find . -type f -exec grep -l 'perl_hook(name)' {} \;
gives:
./src/modules/perl/Apache.xs
So it's in ./src/modules/perl/Apache.xs - well it was pretty obvious to
look for it there by simply trying s/Apache.pm/Apache.xs/ - but as it's
not obvious for those who don't fiddle with XS, find(1) can be quite
helpful...
I know that it doesn't answer your real question. But at least it
reaasures that the code is there :)
