Hi John,

OK, when I defined $r as you did, it worked. For documentation, I was
looking at here:

I see you are just printing to standard output, like a CGI script. In
the book, it used
$r->send_http_header('text/plain');
$r->print("mod_perl rules!\n");
but there are no such methods on $r here in 2.0.
What, prey tell, is the equivalent object?
Is there =any= way to get started, like a simple (but working!)
program I could look at?
When I was starting with modperl2, I had similar problems to you. I'm
more of a book-person, and many of the books (such as the O'Reilly ones)
have not been re-released for modperl2. While there is a lot of
information on the web, it isn't as easy sifting through it all.
As for your question, the $r object is (I believe :-) ) the RequestRec
object:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html
and instead of send_http_header, you would use content_type. As
mentioned here which describes porting mod_perl 1.0 to mod_perl 2.0:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/porting/compat.html#C__r_E_gt_send_http_header_
You may need to use these two documents (at least) in conjunction with
the book you are reading to make any sense of it. Hope this helps!
