You are very welcome to contribute. I would suggest you start with the part of autogenerating docs. For various reasons: 1.) For the XS code we have a working solutions, docs are missing for large parts of the API. 2.) You will be able to get familar with XSBuilder, without the need to understand all Apache / mod_perl /XS internals right from the start, but you get a good insight how everything works. To start, - check out modperl from the CVS - install mod_perl on your system - download the sources of xsbuilder and mpbuilder from ftp://ftp.dev.ecos.de/pub/perl/xsbuilder/. - Install XSBuilder as usualy (perl Makefile.PL && make install) - Unpack mpbuilder - Make a symlink named xs in the mpbuilder directory to the xs directory in the modperl cvs - adjust the lib paths in the xsbuilder/*.pl files to point to the mpbuilder/lib and your modperl CVS directory - run xsbuilder/source_scan.pl - run xsbuilder/xs_generate.pl - Now you have a WrapXS subdirectory which contains the generated XS files - This directory also contains a pdd file for every module, which holds all information avaiable for that module and it's method, this is the source for generating the docs Gerald P.S. Some of the discussion of the autodoc generatation has only taken place on the docs-dev list, so you may join this as well ------------------------------------------------------------- Gerald Richter ecos electronic communication services gmbh Internetconnect * Webserver/-design/-datenbanken * Consulting Post: Tulpenstrasse 5 D-55276 Dienheim b.
