Re: Do I need Apache2::RequestUtil::request( )?

[Foo Ji-Haw]

There's not much changes to mp2, from your usage angle. In mp1, you use Apache::Request In mp2, the module is now called Apache2::RequestUtil. But it has generally the same methods as its mp1 equivalent, including ->request().   You get the Apache2::RequestUtil the same way as in mp1: sub handler {   my $r = shift;   ... }     You should also consider using Apache2::Request as a replacement for CGI:   my $request = Apache2::Request->new($r); print $request->param('paramkey');   The 'preferred way' to set content type is simply: $r->content_type('text/html');   Hope this helps.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Justin Luster To: 'mod_perl List' Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 12:17 AM Subject: Do I need Apache2::RequestUtil::request( )? Hi,   I'm still struggling with trying to understand how Mod_Perl 2 works.  All I want to do is to have a regular Perl script run under Mod_Perl just to speed it up.   In the past, in Mod_Perl 1 I’ve used this:   sub PrintHeader { if ($ENV{'PERL_SEND_HEADER'}) {                         print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"; } else {             my $r = Apache->request;             $r->content_type('text/html');             $r->send_http_header; } }   I then read the documentation where it says:   Apache->request has been replaced with Apache2::RequestUtil::request( ).    There is also some other documentation in that section that I don’t quite understand.  In testing and messing around with this in Mod_Perl 2 I’ve noticed that the simple   print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";   just works.  My Apache configuration looks like this:   <Directory C:\Apache2\Apache2\htdocs\develop>             Options ExecCGI             AddHandler cgi-script .pl             AddHandler cgi-script .cgi   #For ModPerl Only             <IfModule mod_perl.c>             <Files ~ (\.pl)>                         SetHandler perl-script                         PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry                         Options ExecCGI                         allow from all                         PerlOptions +ParseHeaders             </Files>             </IfModule> </Directory>   I’m thrilled if:   print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";   just works.  But I want to make sure I understand it and that it is OK before releasing this.   I’m just using ModPerl::Registry to speed regular Perl CGI scripts up.  The code needs to work with regular CGI, Mod_Perl 1, Mod_Perl 1.99, and Mod_Perl 2.   And by the way $ENV{'PERL_SEND_HEADER'} does not seem to exist any more.  Is this not available in Mod_Perl 2?  How do detect:   PerlOptions -ParseHeaders?   Thanks for your help,   Justin
