apache::sandwich
I recently uprgaded from a pre-RedHat8 system to RedHat 8. I used the
Apache::Sandwich module to specify a directory and footer filename in the
directives to allow me to include footer files dynamically (without having
to specify an include statement in each file served). Is there something
like this module or an alternative for Apache 2 versions?
Thanks in advance for due consideration.

D'oh, please s/Apache::Filter/Apache::Sandwich/ in my earlier reply.
Sorry.

It's a good idea to compile a list of modules that need to get ported,
discarding those that aren't needed in mp2 (e.g. Apache::Filter and
FilterChain are definitely to stay in the mp1 world I believe). However there
is a problem with porting modules that include XS code, since the replacement
for Apache::src hasn't been completed yet. Pure perl modules porting should be
fine.
FWIW, I've ported Apache::Peek and Apache::Scoreboard to 2.0, but I can't
release them yet as they need a support from mod_perl-2.0 (because of
Apache::src/xs stuff), which wasn't committed yet. We are hoping to deliver a
much better Makefile.PL support (including things like installing into
Apache2/ and automatic configuration of the MM attributes for compilation)

Porting Orphans : (was: apache::sandwich)
Posted by si...@siberian.org.
This brings up a good point, is there a list of 'ModPerl
Orphans' anywhere? For the most part I would imagine that
a modules author/maintainer will manage the transition to
mp2 but there must be a ton of modules that are Orphans
with little hope of making it over unless some kind
developer makes it happen.
It would be pretty great if there was a list and people
could start taking responsibility for the tasks to avoid
duplicate work as well as to guide folks who have time to
contribute and are not sure where to start.
Lame suggestion most likely. I was just thinking 'I would
like to try to port something but where to start....'
If there is interest in this I can put up a page for this
sort of thing and send email out to all of the existing
authors, hunting for orphans to post.

mod_perl 2 supports output filtering, which could provide a streamlined
way of doing what Apache::Filter does fairly trivially AFAIK. But you'd
have to read up on filters and implement it yourself.
Another option would be for you to port Apache::Filter to run under mp2.
Then your code as well as anyone else's who uses that module would run
unchanged under mp2. That would be a Good Thing and you'd be a mod_perl
hero. People on this list would help if you got stuck, and the
documentation for porting is getting quite extensive.
This doc: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/devel/porting/porting.html is
what you want.
Good luck,
