Hi, I'm in the process of shifting some old mod_perl1 code over to Apache2.2 and mod_perl2. Part of it is using Apache::LogFile to write to a custom log. Well.. actually, it pipes the data to a little script that collects up lines and forks off processes to deal with them when it's got a handful (it gets hit a couple of million times per day, and processing them one by one isn't particularly efficient). But that's not entirely relevant, I suppose.
As far as I can tell, Apache::LogFile was never ported to mp2, and I can't find anything that will let me define my own logfile. The Apache::LogFile solution was very convenient, as it shuts down and restarts the collector script with the daemon, but as my C skills are practically non-existent, I doubt very much I'd be able to port it myself, so I'm looking for an alternative. Ideally, I want a single filehandle that will be opened and closed when Apache starts up and shuts down, that I can write to from a handler, but I'm not really sure where to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Dan
