There really shouldn't be a hard transition between C::A and mod_perl. C::A encourages you to write your code in a way that is friendly to mod_perl (encapsulated in methods). If you're just planning on using Apache::Registry for your application then you shouldn't need to do anything else. It's only if you need to take advantage of some of the more advanced features of mod_perl (filters, bucket brigades, etc) do you need to worry about converting your application into a mod_perl Handler. I like C::A::P::Apache if I want to use Apache::Request instead of CGI.pm. But remember, if other things expect $self->query to be a CGI.pm object (like C::A::P::Session probably does) then you will have problems. > And when I try to access $self->session I get the following server error, > > [error] Error executing class callback in init stage: Can't locate > auto/Apache2/Request/cookie.al in @INC This is because Apache2::Request does not have a cookie() method. I'd recommend dropping C::A::P::Apache if you want to guarantee that it plays well with all other plugins. If you however do want to stick with C::A::P::Apache, then try putting this in your config: PerlSetVar CAPA_CGI_Compat On It will use CGI::Application::Plugin::Apache::Request as $self->query instead of Apache::Request. C::A::P::Apache::Request is a little more like CGI.pm than Apache::Request is. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################
