I've been trying to implement the PerlModule directive, not much lack so far since I miss a basic understanding of many design concepts and learning my way around. I understand that no actual processing happens before the config merge stage. Is that correct? I've tried to call the modperl_require_module() from modperl_cmd.c but I've learned that 'scfg' doesn't have 'mip' member yet. I thought may be I should init the interpreter and get hold on base_scfg, but then I've seen that PerlSwitches merely pushes its args into scfg->argv. What I don't understand is how the stored PerlSwitches args later will be identified in scfg->argv and fed into interpreter. Can you please give me a hint to find the place where the activation of the PerlSwitches happens inside the interpreter? So basically I've to store PerlModule args somewhere in scfg->argv, then somewhere later (when?) I grab those and run modperl_require_module when I have the interpreter. Is that correct? Another question is about a definition of how do we want PerlModule to work: - load modules in the parent interpreter and let all children inherit from it. - allow each vhost to have its own preloaded modules. - allow each interpteter pool have its own preloaded modules (which is probably the same as the prev item, right?) >From one side sharing all the preloaded modules is a great benefit because of the shared optree, on the other hand if these modules have some big data structures in them at the init time, this data will be inhereted by all tipools. Now when this data gets dirty, copy-on-write happens and now we have a memory chunk, not used by anyone, wasted. May be we need to have normal PerlModule, which loads into the base interpretor and have a second directive PerlLocalModule which allows to load the module only in the parent of the tipool?
