NAME
Apache::src - Methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache source code
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::src ();
my $src = Apache::src->new;
DESCRIPTION
This module provides methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache
source code.
METHODS
new
Create an object blessed into the Apache::src class.
my $src = Apache::src->new;
dir
Top level directory where source files are located.
my $dir = $src->dir;
-d $dir or die "can't stat $dir $!\n";
main
Apache's source tree was reorganized during development of version 1.3.
So, common header files such as "httpd.h" are in different directories
between versions less than 1.3 and those equal to or greater. This
method will return the right directory.
Example:
-e join "/", $src->main, "httpd.h" or die "can't stat httpd.h\n";
find
Searches for apache source directories, return a list of those found.
Example:
for my $dir ($src->find) {
my $yn = prompt "Configure with $dir ?", "y";
...
}
inc
Print include paths for MakeMaker's INC argument to
"WriteMakefile".
Return the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER defined in the apache source.
Example:
my $mmn = $src->module_magic_number;
httpd_version
Return the server version.
Example:
my $v = $src->httpd_version;
otherldflags
Return other ld flags for MakeMaker's dynamic_lib argument to
"WriteMakefile". This might be needed on systems like AIX that need
special flags to the linker to be able to reference mod_perl or httpd
symbols.
