Description

43       "Apache2::ServerRec" provides the Perl API for Apache server_rec
44       object.
45
46       "Apache2::ServerUtil" provides an extra functionality.
47

API

49       "Apache2::ServerRec" provides the following functions and/or methods:
50
51   "error_fname"
52       Get/set the "ErrorLog" file value (e.g. logs/error_log)
53
54         $error_fname      = $s->error_fname();
55         $prev_error_fname = $s->error_fname($new_error_fname);
56
57       obj: $s ( "Apache2::ServerRec object" )
58       opt arg1: $new_error_fname ( string )
59           If passed, sets the new value for "ErrorLog"
60
61           Note the limited functionality under threaded MPMs.
62
63       ret: $error_fname ( string )
64           Returns the "ErrorLog" value setting.
65
66           If $new_error_fname is passed returns the setting before the
67           change.
68
69       since: 2.0.00
70
71   "is_virtual"

73
74         $is_virtual = $s->is_virtual();
75
76       obj: $s ( "Apache2::ServerRec object" )
77       ret: $is_virtual ( boolean )

91       accept more than one request over the same connection from the same
92       client.
93
94         $keep_alive      = $s->keep_alive();

286       opt arg1: $new_port ( integer )
287           If passed, sets the new port.
288
289           Note the limited functionality under threaded MPMs.
290
291           META: I don't think one should be allowed to change port number

358       opt arg1: $new_timeout ( integer )
359           If passed, sets the new timeout (the value should be in
360           microseconds).
361
362           Note the limited functionality under threaded MPMs.
363
364       ret: $timeout ( integer )
365           Returns the timeout setting in microseconds.

370
371       Let us repeat again: the timeout values is microseconds. For example to
372       set the timeout to 20 secs:
373
374         $s->timeout(20_000_000);
375

Notes

377   Limited Functionality under Threaded MPMs
378       Note that under threaded MPMs, some of the read/write accessors, will
379       be able to set values only before threads are spawned (i.e. before the
380       "ChildInit phase").  Therefore if you are developing your application
381       on the non-threaded MPM, but planning to have it run under threaded
382       mpm, you should not use those methods to set values after the ChildInit
383       phase.
384
385       The affected accessor methods are marked as such in their respective
386       documentation entries.
387

Unsupported API

389       "Apache2::ServerRec" also provides auto-generated Perl interface for a
390       few other methods which aren't tested at the moment and therefore their
391       API is a subject to change. These methods will be finalized later as a
392       need arises. If you want to rely on any of the following methods please
393       contact the the mod_perl development mailing list so we can help each
394       other take the steps necessary to shift the method to an officially
395       supported API.
