I'm running into this as well, but with a different Apache::Table
object. It seems that Apache::Table stringifies its values, which
makes it useless for applications like this.
The only Apache piece that doesn't stringify is pnotes, which is
only available to Perl handlers.
Another option is:
my $value_to_save = {
a => 1,
b => 2,
c => [ 3, 4, 5 ],
};
my $d = Data::Dumper->new([ $value_to_save ]);
$d->Indent(0)->Purity(1)->Terse(1)->Deepcopy(1);
$r->subprocess_env('TEST_VAR' => $d->Dump);
And then in whatever you use the value in:
my $restored_value = eval $r->subprocess_env('TEST_VAL');
$r->subprocess_env('TEST_VAL') looks something like (as a string):
{"a" => 1,"b" => 2,"c" => [3,4,5]}
You could also use Storable, but that is not a part of the
default install like Data::Dumper is, so I avoid it if I can.
