ok, I did lots of playing around and have come full circle. my problem
seems to be that
DynaLoader::bootstrap (as called by Apache::Util/mod_perl.pm) is looking for
libUtil.so (and variants) instead of resolving the symbols to libhttpd.so.
which was why I ended up making all the calls myself in the first place.
a quick look through DynaLoader::bootstrap would seem to indicate that there
is no way around this given the existing code - it croaks before going
through any @dl_resolve_using I may set myself... maybe the dl_load_flags
thing was supposed to work around this, but I can't seem to get it there...
what I have so far is Apache::libhttpd that links against
libexec/libhttpd.so in the Makefile.PL and creates its own libhttpd.so in
@INC. libhttpd.pm sets the load flags, sets $ENV{MOD_PERL}, and bootstraps
itself. subsequest calls to use Apache::Util balk.
well, after all this diddling, the thought came to me that you can use
libhttpd.so for Apache::File stuff as well, which, between the two classes
might yield something really useful for an extended
Apache::FakeRequest/FakeAPI class someday...
if I could get it working elegantly :)
anyway, back to work...
