Apache::File

[Jonathan Vanasco <mo...@2xlp.com>]

Does anyone plan on porting Apache::File to Apache2 ?

I'm using it in the Apache2::compat mode right now, but I feel uneasy  
using compat outside of my dev box

I took a stab at porting the perl part of File and Symdump, but File  
has an xs component I know i can't handle myself.

If you use File::Temp, they will disappear when you close the file on
most OSes.  Or you can do this:

$r->push_handlers(PerlCleanupHandler => sub { File::Temp::cleanup() });

Hmm...

Maybe i can wrap / subclass APR::File and then just add the tmpfile  
functionality

this is the only one that comes to mind - Apache::File::tmpfile()
creates a temporary file that lingers for the rest of the request and is
cleaned up automatically via a per-request cleanup.  existing tempfile
tools aren't _exactly_ like this.  sure, it's simple enough to code
yourself, but we used to offer this as part of the bundle...

What does Apache::File provide other classes in mp2/standard perl don't?

- $fh->open()                => APR::PerlIO/Standard Perl
- $fh->close()               => APR::PerlIO/Standard Perl
- $fh->tmpfile()             => File::Temp
- $r->discard_request_body() => Apache2::RequestIO
- $r->meets_conditions()     => Apache2::Response
- $r->mtime()                => Apache2::RequestRec
- $r->set_content_length()   => Apache2::Response
- $r->set_etag()             => Apache2::Response
- $r->set_last_modified()    => Apache2::Response
- $r->update_mtime()         => Apache2::Response
