Sure, patches are welcome ;)
ok, I'll take a look at that sometime this week. it shouldn't be too hard.
Great!
But we still need to provide the coding for prompting for httpd
location, since it's not in Apache::test API.
prompt? I hope that was just a slip :) I much prefer the current method
(die with an error message) over the libapreq test method (wait
indefinitely for an entry or ! to skip).
Nope, not a slip. If you install manually I agree that die is better than
prompt. If you install with CPAN, which it seems the majority do, it's better
to prompt, since it's not trivial to tell CPAN which options need to be
supplied during 'perl Makefile.PL'.
You know what? I think we should educate the users to use env vars. The
problem is that we have two mod_perl versions, so setting the APACHE env var
is not a solution, since how do we set it for 2 versions. What I mean is, I'd
like to have a set of env vars in my .profile/.cshrc/.whatever and never think
twice, just selecting the version I want to build with. So I'd have:
env MOD_PERL=1 perl -MCPAN -eshell
and
env MOD_PERL=2 perl -MCPAN -eshell
if we could achieve that, it'd be fantastic. So may be we need to support
APACHE and APACHE2, APXS and APXS2, so if we see MOD_PERL=2, we look for
APACHE2 and APXS2 env vars.
I'm also still bothered with this MOD_PERL vs. MODPERL thing, we really need
to stick to a single way to write it. (same for macros.)
at any rate, I guess there's lots to do. I'll get to my part and try to
fill in the gaps as I can. especially as my OSCon talk (and upcoming
perl.com article) is on Apache::Test :)
Oh, wow, that's cool! Hopefully I'll get the rest of the fixes in the next few
days.
Also I'm planning to release Apache::Test on CPAN soon. What do you think?
