mod_perl IfModule directives?

2000-09-12 Thread Matt Sergeant 

I know this isn't in mod_perl yet, so take this as a feature request :-)

What I'd like to see is a mod_perl equivalent of IfModule, so that I can
add custom config directives to my httpd.conf perfectly safely:

IfPerlModule AxKit
AxAddStyleMap text/xsl Apache::AxKit::Language::Sablot
/IfPerlModule

cool idea...

is

  Perl
$AxAddStyleMap = "text/xsl Apache::AxKit::Language::Sablot" 
  if Apache-module('AxKit');
  /Perl

good enough for the moment?

I'm not convinced that will work, since it sets the directives in the
Apache::ReadConfig package, not mine. Besides, I think you just made up
Apache-module() :-)

I just tested it with Apache::Dispatch, which also uses ModuleConfig, and it
works just fine.  I guess it depends on the mechanism you are using to make
your directives visible in your module...

 Apache-module() :-)

oh, to have such power ;)

You're right - should have tested. However a Perl section is only really
a stop-gap towards a real solution.

   AxAddStyleMap text/xsl Apache::AxKit::Language::Sablot

you can already do that with modules that implement directive handlers:

PerlModule Apache::AxKit

IfModule Apache::AxKit
...
/IfModule

i didn't realize/thinkabout it until you asked though.

p.s. have a look at mod_info's output w/ AxKit loaded if you haven't
already
