I will end up writing another "new()" for use when not called directly
from apache. Is this bad style, since the method does not return the
blessed ref to something, but instead calls methods directly with the
blessed ref?
Personally I get Apache to call new() for me, so other code can use the
class in the same way apache does:
-----------------------------------------------
in httpd.conf:
PerlModule My::HandlerModule
PerlResponseHandler My::HandlerModule->handler_method # apache
calls your new() method automatically I think
PerlFixupHandler My::HandlerModule->fixup_handler_method
-----------------------------------------------
Or even better, when I want a single instance of my handler module per
apache process:
-----------------------------------------------
package My::HandlerModule;
$My::HandlerModule::Persistent=My::HandlerModule->new();
sub new { etc etc }
sub handler_method { my ($self,$r)[EMAIL PROTECTED]; etc etc }
-----------------------------------------------
in httpd.conf:
PerlResponseHandler $My::HandlerModule::Persistent->handler_method
-----------------------------------------------
hope this helps,
John
