2 init handlers

[JT Smith <jt...@plainblack.com>]

My modperl app has its own init handler, but I'd also like to use Apache2::Reload on my 
dev box so I don't have to continue restarting Apache. Is it possible to register 2 init 
handlers through the Apache config? If not, is it possible to register them through 
code?

it shouldn't really matter - see hooks/TestHooks/stacked_handlers2.pm in the
mp2 test suite.  if the t/hooks/stacked_handlers2.t test passes then
something else must be going on somewhere in your handlers...

Thanks. I tried adding multiple lines worth and that didn't seem to work, not sure why. 
I didn't try putting multiple on the same line. I'll give that a shot.

sure, slather on as many as you want

  PerlInitHandler My::Foo My::Bar
  PerlInitHandler My::Baz

and they'll all get run.  provided nobody throws an error, that is :)

the only place where this isn't true is for translation, authen/authz, and
mime setting phases, where you can register as many as you want but the
first one to return OK prevents the rest from being run.

you can always use $r->push_handlers() to do that as well.
