Trying to locate APR::Request::Apache2 on my system, I noticed it is part of libapreq2.
libapreq 2-2.07 | ModPerl | ModPerl http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/modperl/87199 | libapreq2 is an APR-based shared library used for parsing HTTP | cookies, query-strings and POST data. Doing further reading unearthes new ranges of modules, which has me somewhat confused. libapreq2 has modules like the following: * APR::Request * APR::Request::Cookie It is said to be closer to the bare metal. libapreq2 also has modules like the following: * Apache2::Request * Apache2::Cookie * Apache2::Upload It is said this is to mimic the 1.x API. Without libapreq2, I already have: * Apache2::RequestRec * Apache2::RequestIO * Apache2::RequestUtil It is said this is to only load what's needed. I'd like to reach an understanding of what these ranges of modules and interfaces are intended for. When would I want to use which interface? Or is it all a matter of style and taste? Michael Ludwig
