[mp2] Apache::PerlSections->dump gives no output at all.

I'm quit puzzled here....

I use mod_perl to perform some database lookups from my httpd.conf and 
build up all directives
and create all vhost's.
That part works ok, apache works with the vhosts like a charm.... 
but.... always a but... :)

When i use the Apache::PerlSections->dump(); i only see

1;
__END__

when reloading/starting/stopping apache, and i wish to see my complete 
vhosts dumped.

Am i completetly missing the point of Apache::PerlSections->dump, or am 
i doing something completly wrong?

Using mod perl 1.99_17

The problem is now clear to me. The <Perl> section handling in mod_perl 2,
even though it's mostly backwards compatible with the way thing worked in 1.x,
is significantly different.

This is a good example of it. The way processing of <Perl> sections is
now done thru handlers, just like the rest of mod_perl. In this case, the call
to Apache::PerlSections->dump() is performed at code evaluation time, _before_
the PerlSection handler is handed the parsed <Perl> section. This will be
documented shortly.

But to fix your problem, the rule is simple. Put your code in <Perl> blocks and
make sure to set $Apache::PerlSections::Save = 1. Then in *another* <Perl> block
do your Apache::PerlSections->dump() call. So for instance:

<Perl>
   $Apache::PerlSections::Save = 1;
   [...]
</Perl>

<Perl>
   print STDERR Apache::PerlSections->dump();
</Perl>

Or if you don't like the one-liner <Perl> block, you can also use the Perl directive
for one-liners:

   Perl print STDERR Apache::PerlSections->dump();

Either way, I'll be changing the documentation to make this clear.

Still a no go.... it just gives me

1;
__END__

And there is not much to find at the documents you pointed me to.

Even when i use 'normal' style directives it gives the same.... with
normal style i mean :

        $Directory{"/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/test_case_2"} = {
        Options => 'FollowSymlinks',
        AllowOverride => 'All',
        Limit => {
         'GET PUT POST' => {
         require => 'valid-user',
         Order => 'allow,deny',
         Allow => 'from all',
             },
    },
};

How exactly do you build and create all these vhosts ? Can you post
a sample of it?

My best guess for now is that you forgot to set

$Apache::PerlSections::Save = 1;

in your <Perl> blocks. See
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/PerlSections.html#C__Apache__PerlSections__Save_
for more info.
