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
