[mp1] Alternative for CHECK
Hi All,
I'm writing a module that will run in Apache and has important code
that needs to run after all modules have loaded but before Apache forks
and starts serving requests. Since mod_perl 1.x ignores CHECK and INIT
blocks, and BEGIN blocks run too early for what I'm doing, I was
wondering if there's a hook in the mod_perl API where I can run some
code just before before Apache forks and starts serving requests?
If you must know what I'm doing, I'm looking for stuff in the symbol
table.
TIA!
David

Excellent point, and a quick experiment on my end shows that this does
do what I need. I have two different modules to be loaded for this
project, so I just make sure that one loads after the other does, and
it all works.
Thanks for the nudge, Stas, it was just what I needed.
Regards,
David

Why not? Use a separate module to drive the others?
package My::PostConfig;
BEGIN {
# whatever needs to be done for other modules
}
1;
startup.pl:
-----------
use My::PostConfig

Won't work too well in a module, I think. I have a workaround for my
problem for now, but it ain't pretty.

Oooh, yes, that's exactly what I want. Will have to port it all when
the time comes. Waiting for the mod_perl 2 momentum, now,

Yeah, but I was looking for something pre-fork. Anything come to mind?

PerlChildInitHandler? e.g. used by Apache::DBI to pre-connect to the db.
