while i understand the difference between these two i am unsure how to handle these back and forth. let me explain:
There are not the same thing.
I have an upload module with the handler using an Apache::Request
my $r = Apache::Request->new(
shift,
POST_MAX => 10 * 1024 * 1024, # in bytes, so 10M
DISABLE_UPLOADS => 0
);
Here $r is a subclass of Apache, so you can do operations as before and plus new A::R methods.
later on i want to send all the info recieved from a file to another module that inserts this information into a database table
rather than pass through a LWP::Simple::get call i would like to call the subroutine that handles the logic directly like so:
&MYMod::Add::Add($r);
BUT i have the above subroutine pulling in the Apache->request object if through MYMod::Add::handler
so i tried something like this in my upload module
my $r = Apache->request;
this is a plain $r.
# Standard stuff, with added options...
my $apr = Apache::Request->new(
$r,
POST_MAX => 10 * 1024 * 1024, # in bytes, so 10M
DISABLE_UPLOADS => 0
);
$apr is a subclassed object that know to do more than $r.
and then &MYMod::Add::Add($r);>
but this just borks out the uplaod procedure
and nothing get processed, whereas if i just pass in the Apache::Request it doesnt process the parameters correctly
so you need to pass $apr. $r is still an Apache object, not an Apache::Request one. Apache::Request->new() doesn't affect $r in your code above.
