Does anyone have Apache::Peek working with perl 5.8.0? I can't get it to build, and I can't find the symbols it's (apparently) missing anywhere in perl 5.8.0's header files. Example:

Doug MacEachern has hacked Devel::Peek 0.95 to work with mod_perl. The current Apache::Peek version is 0.9501. It works with Perl versions < 5.8.0 and mod_perl 1.x. The attached package is a similar hack that works with Perl 5.8.0 and mod_perl 1.x. Doug's hack doesn't compile with perl 5.8.0, since Devel::Peek, which it copies, has been heavily rewritten and uses internally APIs which didn't exist before. I took a different approach and instead of overriding PerlIO functions (the approach which doesn't work anymore) I've simply supplied a very simple PerlIO layer that only knows to write data to the client using the request_rec object. I've done only very basic testing, so bugs are possible. Let me know if you spot any. I'm not sure what's the best approach to take in order to distribute this package. Whether to somehow extend it to support Perl < 5.8.0 and thus merge with Doug's version, or simply distribute it separately. Ideas and patches are welcome. TODO: The tests weren't adopted to use Apache::Test yet. Patches are welcome. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:stas@;stason.org http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
