sounds good to me. Anybody has an experience of using Filter::Simple with mod_perl?
A simple version looks like this...
package Apache::compat::uber; use strict; use Filter::Simple;
use constant ahh => 0;
FILTER { print STDERR "PRE = $_\n" if ahh;
s/localaddr/localaddr_compat/g;
print STDERR "POST = $_\n" if ahh; };
1;
And thats it... of course you have to write localaddr_compat in the Apache::compat module.
(mind you, this is untested :-)
What perl versions Filter::Simple is working with? Assuming that someone will need to use this trickery to get the same code working with mod_perl 1.0 and mod_perl 2.0?
Filter::Simple works with 5.6+
Thanks Scott, I'll give it a try.
2) Operator Overload use Apache::compat; # or what ever it actually is... print STDERR sockdaddr_in($r->localaddr); print STDERR $r->localaddr->ipnumber; $r->localaddr returns an operator overloaded object which can then check if we are returning a scalar (return the packed local address) or are we returning a blessed reference (return the normal blessed reference). I use this approach for code like this. print $md->DC->Title . "\n"; print $md->DC->Title->Short . "\n";
How do you cope with a situation like this:
my $title = $md->DC->Title;
which can then be:
print $title;
or:
print $title->Short;
Both work, because in the first case it will be stringified to the actual title.
(although, sometimes you have to do print "" . $title;
In the second it will request from the overload method a blessed reference.
of course you can overload the "" operator so it'll magically work because print calls "". Is that what you meants by your example?
Yes :-) note to self, read bottom before replying above :-)
;)
It aint perfect. The Filter::Simple would probably be more reliable.
It also won't work in the case of APR::URI::unparse which has a different problem. It'd be nice to have a generic solution.
