(Half-comment, half-doc change below)
I don't have a specific patch (yet), but as I just used method handlers for
the first time, studying from the v1 guide, I thought I should point out
that the guide does not go out of it's way to remind the poor users about
mod_perl's namespace mess. Example:
If in mod_perl_start.pl you declare:
$obj=Object->new;
or even
our $obj=Object->new;
(in httpd.conf)
<Perl>
warn "Object is ".ref($obj);
</Perl>
$obj will be out of scope. Rememdy for non-experts is: ALWAYS FULLY DECLARE
OBJECTS TO BE USED WITH METHOD HANDLERS
Solution:
(mod_perl_start.pl).
$PermanentNamespace::Obj=Object->new
After writing all that, it occured to me that a better alternative is in one
of the existing examples on the page which use $My::Obj, simply specifically
point out that the "My::" prefix is for a namespace and should not be
confused with my $obj
Good points Issac, patches are very welcome ;)
