Not a module but a command line run. Actually, since we already have mp2bug and mp2doc utils. I'm thinking to make ModPerl/MethodLookup more intuitive and add 3 more utils: mp2method, mp2module, mp2object to perform the equivalent of:
% perl -MApache2 -MModPerl::MethodLookup -e print_method % perl -MApache2 -MModPerl::MethodLookup -e print_module % perl -MApache2 -MModPerl::MethodLookup -e print_object
just like we have the cpan utility vs.
% perl -MCPAN -eshell
This will make it much more accessible/useful. once you install mp2 and if you want to use a method server_root() but you don't know which module you need to load you will run:
% mp2method server_root_relative
To use method 'server_root_relative' add:
use Apache::ServerUtil ();then you wonder what other methods Apache::ServerUtil loads, so you run:
% mp2module Apache::ServerUtil
Module 'Apache::ServerUtil' contains the following XS methods:
Method Invoked on object type ----------------------------------------------------------------- add_config Apache::Server add_version_component Apache dir_config Apache::Server error_log2stderr Apache::Server exists_config_define Apache get_handlers Apache::Server get_server_built Apache get_server_version Apache psignature Apache::RequestRec push_handlers Apache::Server server Apache server_root_relative Apache set_handlers Apache::Server -----------------------------------------------------------------
Finally you are interested what methods can be invoked on the object blessed into Apache::Filter and which modules need to be loaded in order to use them:
% mp2object Apache::Filter
Objects of type 'Apache::Filter' can invoke the following XS methods:
Method Module ------------------------------------------------ PRINT Apache::Filter TIEHANDLE Apache::Filter c Apache::Filter ctx Apache::Filter fflush Apache::Filter fputs Apache::Filter frec Apache::Filter get_brigade Apache::Filter next Apache::Filter pass_brigade Apache::Filter print Apache::Filter r Apache::Filter read Apache::Filter remove Apache::Filter remove_input_filter Apache::Filter remove_output_filter Apache::Filter seen_eos Apache::Filter ------------------------------------------------
each of these scripts is just:
#!/usr/bin/perl # mp2method use Apache2; use ModPerl::MethodLookup; print_method(@ARGV);
#!/usr/bin/perl # mp2module use Apache2; use ModPerl::MethodLookup; print_module(@ARGV);
#!/usr/bin/perl # mp2object use Apache2; use ModPerl::MethodLookup; print_object(@ARGV);
