mock is much farther along with it than I am - I was creating it as a tutorial for people who get a $bb and don't know what to do with it (as with Apache::Upload). but they look surprisingly similar :) the one thing I was focusing on before I got sidetracked was support for $/ - specifically if $/ is undef letting READLINE use $bb->flatten to return the entire brigade, but also splitting the another thing I was debating was how to treat the brigade when reading - you seem to be treating the brigade like you would for Apache filters, destroying the brigade while reading. I wanted more of a filehandle interface where the brigade could be manipulated over and over again (reading a file is non-destructive, as is APR::Brigade::flatten. anyway, the (very, very rough) work in progress is here http://www.modperlcookbook.org/~geoff/modules/experimental/APR-TieBrigade-0.01.tar.gz debug statements and other ugliness included. but it might trigger some ideas you had, or give you an idea as to how better use Apache-Test. for what it's worth :) anyway, I asked [EMAIL PROTECTED] to add an APR:: namespace to CPAN a while ago, but they might not have gotten around it it yet. however, before releasing to that namespace I'd consider a name that more specifically suits the intended purpose - if indeed the module is only relevant to brigades use in input/output filters, where you need to destroy the incoming and write to a new outgoing, then I'd probably either keep it in the Apache:: namespace to name it something like APR::TieFilterBrigade. also note that there should be _zero_ mod_perl dependencies if placed in the APR:: namespace (I wasn't quite there either :) HTH --Geoff -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
