[ANNOUNCE] Apache::PAR 0.10

Version 0.10 of Apache::PAR is now available on CPAN at the following
location:

http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/N/NB/NBYRD/

This version of Apache::PAR now includes preliminary support for both
mod_perl 1.x and 2.x environments natively (without Apache::compat). 
Note, however, this does not guarantee that any modules, registry
scripts, etc packaged with Apache::PAR will work under both 1.x and 2.x
- wouldn't that be slick. :-)

Also, with this version I have continued to use Apache::test for the
module testing framework, so make test does not work "out of the box"
under mod_perl 2.x, although it does run with some changes to the
generated httpd.conf file (I am hoping to offer a patch for this to the
Apache::test author soon).

If anyone has any questions or problems (under 1.x or 2.x), please
contact me at one of the following:

Email: nathan@byrd.net
PAR mailing list: par@perl.org
mod_perl mailing list: modperl@apache.org

Thanks,

That makes since.  I was only taking it from the Apache::test direction
because it seemed like there might be more involved in separating 
Apache::Test than Apache::test from mod_perl, and I didn't know there
was already plans to release Apache::Test as a standalone module. 
Thanks for the advice.

I doubt that would be useful, because the next release of 1.x (where 
Apache::test resides) won't happen any time soon, and you can't know what 
other changes will happen in mp2. Instead, include the whole Apache::Test 
framework (from mod_perl's cvs!) in the distro, and use it. Once it's released 
on CPAN, you can simply add it as a prerequisite and remove from the distro.

It's also very important for people to start using Apache::Test everywhere, so 
we can sort out the problems and missing features and release it on CPAN asap.
