Re: mod_perl 2.0 and cookies
So I've decided to dive headlong into 2.0. So far I like it but find the documentation lacking and there seems to be a lot missing. I tried Apache::Cookie with it, no dice. It gave an error to the effect that it didn't know what bootstrap was (I think that was it). Apache::Cookie made inserting cookies in mod_perl 1.0 so easy which in turn made life easier for programming. However I have scoured the documentation on how to insert a cookie into the header and the only thing I could come up with is that you use a filter to do it. Somehow I don't think that this is right and I am completely off. Could someone enlighten me as to how cookies work in MP2? If I can get past this I can figure out the rest on my own and maybe write a little documentation if I can understand it enough to do so. From what I've figured out through experiementing, tho I'd find out a lot more by reading source and I'd be a bit more accurate in this... But I think mod_perl 2 is just simply lacking all together. I think the docs are lacking info because the program is lacking hte feature! Course, this only means I havern't figured out how to use the features, if they are there. But, to me, mod_perl x+1 should be backwards compatible with mod_perl x, if it isn't, then it's broken. (in my opinion..) Dennis

It wasn't clear to me - are you using the development version of httpd-apreq-2? The CPAN version of libapreq are for mod_perl 1 - you'll need httpd-apreq-2 (available via cvs) for Apache 2. If you are using Apache::Cookie of httpd-apreq-2, at this point, probably the simplest way to see examples of the basic usage is to go through the tests, under glue/perl/t/. Documentation patches would be welcome - it would be easiest to subscribe to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list and submit them there. -- best regards, randy kobes
