Is it possible to use perl source code filters (like Filter::Util::Call)
in scripts that are run via ModPerl::Registry?
If I place the following module somewhere in my @INC path:
Hello2Goodbye.pm
----------------
package Hello2Goodbye;
use Filter::Util::Call;
sub import {
my $type = shift;
filter_add(bless []);
}
sub filter {
my $self = shift;
my $status;
s/Hello/Goodbye/g if ($status = filter_read()) > 0;
return $status;
}
1;
and then run the following script via ModPerl::Registry:
filtertest1.pl
--------------
use Hello2Goodbye;
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Filter Test</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>\n";
print "<H1>Hello, world.</H1>\n";
print "</BODY></HTML>\n";
then I get the output "Hello, world." rather than "Goodbye, world.",
i.e. the source code didn't get filtered.
I can make it work by rewriting the script as:
filtertest2.pl
--------------
use FilterTest;
FilterTest::greeting();
where the FilterTest module contains:
FilterTest.pm
-------------
use Hello2Goodbye;
package FilterTest;
sub greeting() {
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Filter Test</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>\n";
print "<H1>Hello, world.</H1>\n";
print "</BODY></HTML>\n";
}
1;
but I'd really like the scripts themselves to be source-filtered too,
not just the modules that they use.
Any ideas?
