Dave,

you say you have revamped the directives, is that the only 
change you have made or are there functional changes as well? 
If not what is the advantage of using this new version over 
the old one (as I have managed to get that working).

PS. sorry for the late reply, I have been on holiday for
three weeks.

I'll gladly update those if you send me the updated info. Thanks!

[ ANNOUNCE ] Apache::PerlVINC v0.02

2000-07-11 Thread Dave Moore

All,

ok. after much twiddling and tweaking, I have finished a version of
Apache::PerlVINC that I feel comfortable with. I changed _alot_ of things
in it. maybe too much. i thought it would be nice if _everybody_ had a
chance to flame me, so I am including a link so you can download it and
try it.

http://dave.devel.epals.com/misc/Apache-PerlVINC-0.02.tar.gz

Apache::PerlVINC is a module that allows multiple versions of a script or
module to run on the same server. It works by reloading the specified
files at request. Because of this, it is meant for use only in a
development environment.

I totally revamped the directives. I removed the PerlVersionINC On/Off
directive. I didn't see the need for it once DIR_CREATE is involved.
Secondly, I traded the use of PerlRequire with PerlVersion. the reasoning
behind this was so that if the file wasn't there, the server would still
start. Also, this way you dont have to worry about setting PERL5LIB or
"use lib 'xxx'". I thought it might make things easier and more intuitive.
if I am wrong, Im sure i'll hear about it.
 
I think my biggest concern is for all the people using it already; it
doesn't work like it used to. They will have to change their config
directives to upgrade. Is that really a big deal? Also, the docs that Stas
Bekman wrote will be outdated by this release. I can spruce those up if
necessary.

If I receive no response, I will assume either everyone likes it or nobody
cares, and I will publish it to CPAN.
