I'm working toward contributing a module with this working title to CPAN, and would like your comments and advice.
The short story is that it's a mod_perl2 mechanism for optimizing the KeepAlive option in the Apache2 server. The long story is at http://www.animalhead.com/CloseKeepAlive.html I'm tentatively convinced it's worth contributing, but you're welcome to tell me why it's not. For sure, your advice on how to improve it will be very welcome. Specifically: • What CPAN module(s) is (are) most like this one, to use as model(s) for how to package, test, and install it? • The plan is to use Module::Build and Apache::Test. What else or something different? • Is something as specialized as this worth including in the GP Perl libraries? Or is it better to just ask where the mod_perl2 library is? • Is inclusion in the GP Perl libraries a prerequisite or assumption of Module::Build or of CPAN? In addition to where to put the module itself, it needs a place to put a companion DB-building app and a place for the resulting DB. These are not standard features of a module installation. Probably I just ask the user where they should go? If so, how do I use the answers? Thanks for being there, cmac
