Attribute::Handlers - cant use under mod_perl?

[Michael Schout <ms...@gkg.net>]

I made an attempt to use Attribute::Handlers under mod perl today, and it
appears that this cant be done.  What I was hoping to do was use
Attribute::Deprecated, and Attribute::Profiled in my perl handlers.    That way
I could say something like:

package MyHandler;

sub whatever : Profiled { ... }

...

And I would get profile information written directly to the log file.  Since
all of my handlers inherit from a common base class, I was thinking to
eventually create my own handler code that could be turned on or off by chaning
a configuration value eventually.

However, when running under mod_perl, the attribute handlers never get set up.
I think this is due to the fact that Attribute::Handlers uses CHECK and INIT
blocks to setup the handlers, and CHECK blocks dont get executed under
mod_perl.

Has anyone else tried to use Attribute::Handlers under mod_perl?  Any success
stories?

Mike

Take a look at Apache::Handlers :)

I've been able to get both forms working (attribute and block).

Attribute::Handlers does require perl 5.6.0 at least, iirc.
