Using a handler other than "handler"

Hello,

I apologize for such a trivial question, but I'd like to use a function
other than "handler" as a perl handler. According to the doc, it was
possible in mod_perl 1, but I can't manage to get it to work under mod_perl
2.


Here is an example of my code:

file Authen.pm

> sub handler {
> // regular handling
> }
>
> sub special {
> // special case
> }

file httpd.conf

>
> PerlAuthenHandler /lib/Authen
>

>
> # I want to override the regular case by using "special" instead of
"handler" in /lib/Authen.pm
>

Thanks in advance,
C=E9dric Bertolini

I am using Apache2::RequestRec which fine for me. I am using it as an
AuthenHandler and as the starter for our restfull web application!

Questions?

@Michel,

Thanks for the reply. As far as I know, Apache2::RequestRec is a module tha=
t
provides several functions to manage the $request object provided by
mod_perl (http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html ). It'=
s
not really a handler, though most handlers use this module one way or
another. I just want to use a different handler than usual, but from the
same file, If that's possible.

@Nico

Thanks for the reply. Deciding on a behavior based on $r->uri or
$r->filename in the handler is what I was doing previously, but I'd love to
have a solution based the config file instead of the handler itself, for
robustness. I will have to stick to this solution if mod_perl doesn't let m=
e
provide the name of the handler, though.

Re: Using a handler other than "handler"

Hi.

You can use

PerlAuthenhandler Your::Module->special

See http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/coding/coding.html#Tech niques

@John

Thanks for the reply, but

PerlAuthenHandler Authen::special

doesn't work. It worked in mod_perl 1, but mod_perl 2 complains that it
can't find Authen/special.pm in @INC.


@Andr=E9,

Thanks for the reply. I was reluctant to use this solution because of the
OOC orientation of this syntax, but it isn't actually mandatory to define a
class in order to use this. You just have to be aware that the custom
handler will receive the request object as its second argument instead of
the first.

---
package Authen;

sub handler {
my ($r) =3D @_;
# regular case with $r as the request object
}

sub special {
my (undef, $r) =3D @_;
# special case with $r as the request object
}
---
PerlAuthenHandler Authen->special

Cheers,
C=E9dric Bertolini
