We are discussing how to bring the list of the ported to mp2 modules up to date: http://perl.apache.org/products/apache-modules.html#Porting_CPAN_modules_to_mod_perl_2_0_Status

Can you please send a patch for other missing modules, including the first version number they started to work with mp2 (I guess you need to check at the Changes file). Thanks.
In reality, I dont know all mod_perl modules status, but with this simple script:
---CUT HERE---
use CPAN;
use LWP::Simple qw(get);
foreach $dist ( CPAN::Shell->expand('Distribution','/Apache/') ) {
my $id = $dist->id;
$id =~ s/.*\/([^\/]+)\.t(ar\.)?gz$/$1/;
my $changes_url = 'http://search.cpan.org/src/' . $dist->cpan_userid . '/' . $id;
my $changes = get("$changes_url/Changes") || get("$changes_url/CHANGES") ;
if ( $changes =~ /(mod_?perl 1 and 2|both (versions of )?mod_?perl|(mp|mod_?perl)\s*\n*\s*(2|two|ii|1\.99))/i ) {
push(@mp2,$id);
}
} ---CUT HERE---
Nice. I'd grep .pm files too, if changes don't contain the reference to this change.
Also I'd choose some CPAN mirror and not http://search.cpan.org/ as it's always overloaded ;)
these modules seem to have some relationships with mod_perl 2:
Apache-DBI-0.92 Apache-ASP-2.55 MasonX-Request-WithApacheSession-0.24
Apache-SessionManager-1.00 Apache-Test-1.05
Apache-Test-1.06
Apache-Sybase-CTlib-2.00
Apache-PAR-0.30
Apache-GeoIP-1.215
Apache-AuthNetLDAP-0.26
Apache-AuthenNIS-0.11
Apache-AuthenPasswd-0.12
Apache-AuthenSmb-0.70
Apache-AuthzNIS-0.11
Apache-AuthzNetLDAP-0.07
Apache-Peek-1.01
Apache-AuthChecker-0.20
So, these modules are missing in perl.apache.org mp2 list:
Apache-DBI-0.92 (from 0.91)
I haven't used it myself with mp2. Does it work just fine?
Apache-ASP-2.55 (I'm not sure of porting status because it seems to load Apache::compat)
We shouldn't list it as ported till Apache::compat is removed. I've emailed the asp list telling this to Josh.
Apache-Sybase-CTlib-2.00 (from 2.00)
Apache-PAR-0.30 (seems to be stable from 0.20)
Apache-GeoIP-1.215 (from beginning)
Apache-AuthChecker-0.20 (from 0.20)
I haven't used any of these. Can someone (the best respective module authors) confirm that they work fine under mp2?
I think Apache::PAR should be fine, since I remember applying patches to mp2 related to this module.
For MasonX-Request-WithApacheSession-0.24, the question is: is Mason mod_perl 2 compliant?
I don't know.
I can run this check every week, and post the mod_perl status modules diff to this list.
bi-weekly is probably better.
Some considerations:
1. No-mod_perl related modules live in the Apache::* namespace (Apache::Session, Apache::Config, and so on) 2. mod_perl related modules doesn't live under Apache::* namespace (HTML::Mason, libapreq)
We used to have an explicit list, but as with time it was neglected, it was abandoned: http://perl.apache.org/products/old-modules-categorized.html
If someone decides to fix and maintain it that would be great. If this is done it can have a status column telling whether it's mp2 or mp1 complient. And then you only need to poll for unknown modules or those who weren't mp2 compiled.
3. The report is strictly tied to description in Changes distribution files
True. But this can be polished with time.
Obviously the script can be improved (for example by fetching README, by tuning
regex matching, etc).
But, in fact, we must annotate that currently there isn't a possibility to add
metadata info in order to tag a distribution as a mod_perl (1 or 2) module. It would be nice... :-)
That's where META.yml kicks in. I'm not sure which tag can we use though. http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec.html but eventually that's what we are going to use.
I noted some difference between my report and the site list. Why?>
1) Apache::AuthExpire is in perl.apache.org list but not here. But CPAN (1.7601) says:
cpan> m Apache::AuthExpire Module id = Apache::AuthExpire DESCRIPTION PerlAuthenHandler to implement time limits CPAN_USERID JJHORNER (J. J. Horner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) CPAN_VERSION 0.36 CPAN_FILE J/JJ/JJHORNER/Apache-AuthExpire-0.36.tar.gz DSLI_STATUS bdpf (beta,developer,perl,functions) INST_FILE (not installed)
instead of version 0.38
2) Apache::AuthPerLDAP - Again CPAN reports:
cpan> m Apache::AuthPerLDAP
Module id = Apache::AuthPerLDAP
DESCRIPTION LDAP authentication module (PerLDAP)
CPAN_USERID HENRIK (Henrik Strom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
CPAN_VERSION 0.5
CPAN_FILE H/HE/HENRIK/Apache-AuthPerLDAP-0.5.tar.gz
DSLI_STATUS bdpf (beta,developer,perl,functions)
INST_FILE (not installed)
instead of version 2.01
Shannon, you ported the two, do you co-own the namespace of these modules? If not this may explain why CPAN.pm doesn't show them. Enrico, search.cpan.org does show the latest version.
3) Apache::AuthzPasswd: the only infos I've found about mod_perl 2 are in Makefile.PL... :-\
You mean Changes doesn't mention that it works with mp2, and your script has failed to detect that it's working with mp2? ;)
Notice that to avoid doubts about mirros problems, I also verified this infos directly in http://www.cpan.org/modules/03modlist.data.gz
As final stats, we have approximately:
262 mod_perl modules (only in Apache::* namespace, of course) 21 ported modules (mp2 compliant without Apache::compat) 6 port in progress 0 mp2 only modules ?
It is the case to contact mod_perl modules authors in order to check their intentions to port modules or porting status?
I think that's the case.
Sorry for this long post... :-)
Not at all, it's great that you are taking time to update things, Enrico. Thank you!
