perl-framework w/ 3P modules

[Rodent of Unusual Size <Ke...@Golux.Com>]

I'm trying to run some SSL tests using IBM's SSL module
instead of mod_ssl, and I seem to be running into some
assumptions somewhere.

IBM's LoadModule line for this looks like:

  LoadModule ibm_ssl_module  modules/mod_ibm_ssl.so

so I use

  perl Makefile.PL -ssl_module_name mod_ibm_ssl
  
Unfortunately, the *.conf[.in] files have sections for
'<IfModule @ssl_module_name@>', but they enclose directives
which are specific to mod_ssl and don't work with IBM's
SSL module.

I can add an explicit '<IfModule mod_ibm_ssl.c>', but
that's not going to keep the existing <IfModule @ssl_module_name@>
sections from triggering and keeping the server from running..

I'm inclined to think the <IfModule @ssl_module_name@> sections
should be modified to explicitly name mod_ssl.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

i use it for covalent_ssl which supports the same directives as mod_ssl.
i imagine there are others (RedHat?) that can make use of this as well.
we could also extend it to do what you need, but without changing ssl.conf
back to hardcoded <IfModule mod_ssl.c>

What's the point of -ssl_module_name, then, if it means only
mod_ssl?

No.

And maybe rename t/ssl/* to t/modules/ssl_*, or to t/mod_ssl/*.

directives and then some (e.g. varlookup triggers a call to an optional
function).

if you just need t/TEST -ssl to work (all client requests over ssl), we
should come up with something else.
