Apache2::Connection::remote_ip
Can't locate object method "remote_ip" via package "Apache2::Connection
Turns out I should have used $r->useragent_ip
What is going on? Why is the documentation at odds with the code?

So, what's the general attitude about backward compatibility? I
rely on $r->connection->remote_ip and although I can update my code
quite easily (although I have many modules that will need updating) I
now have to use a conditional if I want to use the same code across
two different Apache 2 HTTPd server versions? I'm not keen about
this, especially if it's going to mean I'm going to have to do this
with other subroutines as well.
Why not leave "remote_ip" in place, and just document the preferred
"client_ip" subroutine as "future direction," then switch over to it
when Apache 3 (and presumably ModPerl 3) comes onto the scene?
Major changes from ModPerl 1 to ModPerl 2 were understandable, but
removing (even if due to renaming) within the same version is
something that seems questionable to me, partly because it will break
existing code.

You are probably looking at 2.2 documentation for a 2.4 Apache...
I tend to use:
($r->connection->can('remote_ip') ? $r->connection->remote_ip :
$r->connection->client_ip );
(In fact have a wrapper function to do this)
so the code base will (does) work on 2.2 & 2.4...

Could you give us a link to the documentation you are using?
