Re: RC5 really broke some stuff

[Adam Kennedy]

It sounds like the appropriate time for some enterprising young 
developer to grab a copy of PPI and write an mp2_rename tool, to do a 
first pass of what you describe below automatically.

Anyone?

I feel for you, but I really don't understand this at all.
the changes required to move your codebase from rc4 to rc5 should be really,
really minimal:
  - Apache2.pm doesn't exist any more, so remove it
  - every Apache:: module now goes to Apache2::
  - every constant goes from Apache:: to Apache2::Const
  - Apache->request goes to Apache2::RequestUtil->request
  - Apache->server goes to Apache2::ServerUtil->server
that should really be about it, and it's all documented at
  http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/rename.html
I created a script to help me port my CPAN modules over to RC5, which took
less than 10 minutes each (including running the tests on 2.0 and 2.1).

you'll need to adjust it for the mp2 modules you use, but it should get you
really close.  (normal caveats apply - I'm not responsible if it nukes your
codebase, make sure you look at the code to see what it's doing, etc :)
