There are no plans whatsoever to deprecate instance() from the Apache::Request 1.X that comes in the libapreq-1.X package. The APIs for 1.X are stable, and very unlikely to change at all. However, the 2.X line is a completely different implementation targeted for a different server architecture (apache 2). It's unlikely that modules written for Apache::Request 1.X will be 100% source-compatible with Apache::Request 2.X. The 1.X and 2.X lines should be considered parallel versions, since that is how they are being maintained and developed. > Obviously, this is MP1.x, Apache 1.3.x (on Gentoo Linux, for > those interested). For Apache2, Apache::Request->new will always reference the appropriate per-request data; instance() isn't needed there, so it won't be included in the 2.X releases. -- Joe Schaefer -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
