Yes, if it's stable for your config. I've had coredumps with it in the
past some time and have since stayed away from it by habit. 'course
that was several versions of mod_perl and perl ago, so that's probably
stable now. I'd recommend staying away from it if you want to run on
older mod_perls (like you're distibuting a CPAN module), but it's
probably Ok for up to date configs.
Anyone else have good/bad experience w/ $r->finfo lately?
Also note that Apache will stat() it's way back up the path to the
document root in order to calculate path_info, so it can be better to do
the URI->filename mapping in Perl.
