You mean you have moved the contents of that <Perl> section to a perl file and expect it to work? It has no idea what %main::Location is. It needs to be in the special Apache::ReadConfig namespace. like:
$Apache::ReadConfig::Location{....
though I think Philippe has changed things recently and I'm not sure whether the above will work.
Yes, this is still the way to do it for now. It should be considered
somewhat deprecated, but still works.
BTW, should one load Apache::PerlSections if they don't use <Perl>, but $Apache::ReadConfig::? If they don't trigger that load of Apache::PerlSections (Which happen automatically on <Perl>) their config will be ignored, no?
Philippe, what's the current state of things with perl section namespaces, when people want to add config from perl, rather than <Perl> sections? Should they do something like:
my $file = __FILE__; my $namespace = "Apache::ReadConfig\::$file"; ${"$namespace\::Location"}{foo} = {...};
We need to document this issue.
No need for this, really. In the near future, playing directly with %Apache::ReadConfig:: _will_ be deprecated and issue a warning of some sort. But before that will happen, there will be a nice way to feed hashes-like configuration like:
$Location{'~ .*log$'} = { SetHandler => "perl-script", PerlResponseHandler => "Blogum::UserLog", PerlOptions => "+ParseHeaders", Allow => "from all", };
Apache::PerlSection->read_hash(\%Location);

Aha, right, I forgot about this new cool feature ;) What would it take to convert the above thread into real docs? People can't benefit from the code they don't know how to take the advantage of.
