Good point. However, I seemed to have given you the code of
mason's ApacheHandler out of context; the snip above is from the
'new' method which I use in setting up the mason handler routine:
# Create ApacheHandler object at startup.
my $ah =
HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler->new (
args_method => "CGI",
comp_root => "/srv/www/htdocs",
data_dir => "/srv/www/mason",
error_mode => 'output',
);
In this trivial case it doesn't seem worthwhile to go to all
that trouble, but, as in my production server, when working
with a lot of (possible dynamic) vhosts, it works well.
If the Apache->request (or a request passed as the last -
odd - parameter to new) is defined, some further processing
occurs; but at startup, the request is neither expected to
be there nor needed.
I guess (looking at my result matrix) that some change was made
to mod_perl to prohibit even querying the presence of
Apache->request at startup. So now I (and other mason folks)
must find another way to instantiate handlers.
Would you have and suggestions from the mod_perl perspective?
I will take this query over to mason if you feel that is where
it belongs - but I'll need some further insight into the mod_perl
changes.
