it's in there now.

assuming your moving forward with this (making you a hero :), you should
be able to put the majority of it together without looking at the
mod_perl-2.0 source first. the only thing you need to keep in mind is
that the c functions need to accept a PerlInterpreter argument with
-Dusethreads Perls. Perl has some macros to deal with this "implicit
context", which would look something like so:
void symbol_table_walk(pTHX_ char *package, int recurse, ...)
testing with a vanilla Perl, you would call that like so:
symbol_table_walk(aTHX_ "main", TRUE, ...);
once it's integrated into mod_perl, something like so:
{
#ifdef USE_ITHREADS;
pTHX;
modperl_interp_t *interp = modperl_interp_get(...);
aTHX = interp->perl;
#endif
symbol_table_walk(aTHX_ "main", TRUE, ...);
...
}
that PerlInterpreter structure is used when macros such as:
gv_fetchpv("main", FALSE);
translate into:
Perl_gv_fetchpv(my_perl, "main", FALSE);
