"add"¶

Add a module's custom configuration directive to Apache.

  Apache2::Module::add($package, $cmds);

arg1: $package ( string )

the package of the module to add

arg2: $cmds ( ARRAY of HASH refs )

the list of configuration directives to add

ret: no return value

since: 2.0.00

See also Apache Server Configuration Customization in Perl.

"ap_api_major_version"¶

Get the httpd API version this module was build against, not the module's version.

  $major_version = $module->ap_api_major_version();

obj: $module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

ret: $major_version ( integer )

since: 2.0.00

This methid is used to check that module is compatible with this version of the server before loading it.

"ap_api_minor_version"¶

Get the module API minor version.

  $minor_version = $module->ap_api_minor_version();

obj: $module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

ret: $minor_version ( integer )

since: 2.0.00

"ap_api_minor_version()" provides API feature milestones.

It's not checked during module init.

"cmds"¶

Get the "Apache2::Command" object, describing all of the directives this module defines.

  $command = $module->cmds();

obj: $module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

ret: $command ( "Apache2::Command object" )

since: 2.0.00

"get_config"¶

Retrieve a module's configuration. Used by configuration directives.

  $cfg = Apache2::Module::get_config($class, $server, $dir_config);
  $cfg = Apache2::Module::get_config($class, $server);
  $cfg =          $self->get_config($server, $dir_config);
  $cfg =          $self->get_config($server);

obj: $module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

arg1: $class ( string )

The Perl package this configuration is for

arg2: $server ( "Apache2::ServerRec object" )

The current server, typically "$r->server" or "$parms->server".

opt arg3: $dir_config ( "Apache2::ConfVector object" )

By default, the configuration returned is the server level one. To retrieve the per directory configuration, use "$r->per_dir_config" as a last argument.

ret: $cfg (HASH reference)

A reference to the hash holding the module configuration data.

since: 2.0.00

See also Apache Server Configuration Customization in Perl.

"find_linked_module"¶

Find a module based on the name of the module

  $module = Apache2::Module::find_linked_module($name);

arg1: $name ( string )

The name of the module ending in ".c"

ret: $module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

The module object if found, "undef" otherwise.

since: 2.0.00

For example:

  my $module = Apache2::Module::find_linked_module('mod_ssl.c');

"loaded"¶

Determine if a certain module is loaded

  $loaded = Apache2::Module::loaded($module);

name: $module ( string )

The name of the module to search for.

If $module ends with ".c", search all the modules, statically compiled and dynamically loaded.

If $module ends with ".so", search only the dynamically loaded modules.

If $module doesn't contain a ".", search the loaded Perl modules (checks %INC).

ret: $loaded ( boolean )

Returns true if the module is loaded, false otherwise.

since: 2.0.00

For example, to test if this server supports ssl:

  if (Apache2::Module::loaded('mod_ssl.c')) {
      [...]
  }

To test is this server dynamically loaded mod_perl:

  if (Apache2::Module::loaded('mod_perl.so')) {
      [...]
  }

To test if "Apache2::Status" is loaded:

  if (Apache2::Module::loaded('Apache2::Status')) {
      [...]
  }

"module_index"¶

Get the index to this modules structures in config vectors.

  $index = $module->module_index();

obj: $module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

ret: $index ( integer )

since: 2.0.00

"name"¶

Get the name of the module's .c file

  $name = $module->name();

obj: $module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

ret: $name ( string )

since: 2.0.00

For example a mod_perl module, will return: mod_perl.c.

"next"¶

Get the next module in the list, "undef" if this is the last module in the list.

  $next_module = $module->next();

obj: $module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

ret: $next_module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

since: 2.0.00

"remove_loaded_module"¶

Remove a module from the list of loaded modules permanently.

  $module->remove_loaded_module();

obj: $module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

ret: no return value

since: 2.0.00

"top_module"¶

Returns the first module in the module list. Usefull to start a module iteration.

  $module = Apache2::Module::top_module();

ret: $module ( "Apache2::Module object" )

since: 2.0.00
