Re^2: CHECK and INIT under mod

So, if I understand you correctly, you recommend the following:

package Floober;

sub do_at_init {
    # Does something nifty
}

INIT { do_at_init(); }

BEGIN {
    if ( $ENV{ 'MOD_PERL' } ) {
        #####
        # What do I put here?
        #####
    }
}

1;

Depending on when you need it to run, you could do something like this: `Apache->push_handlers("PerlInitHandler", \&do_at_init);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Is there an authoritative recipe available that would cover both running under MP1 and MP2, as well as a basic test harness? stvn and I have run into this with Class::LazyLoad and I know Ovid and liz have also run into problems with this ... My wife's blog	[reply]

To some degree, whether or not this will work for you depends on what you were trying to do with it. I don't remember any discussions about it on the mod_perl list, which I think is largely due to CHECK and INIT being new and rarely used features. It may be worth a search though. Making it work for both MP1 and MP2 would require you to check the version because the API is different. See this for the MP2 syntax.	[reply]
