init handler possible?

[Alex Krohn <al...@gossamer-threads.com>]

Hi,

I'm looking for the opposite of a cleanup handler that can be set during
runtime under Apache::Registry. For example, in a script running under
Apache::Registry, I want to be able to add only:

        use MyModule;

and have some initilization code get registered to run on every
subsequent request automatically? I haven't been able to figure out if
this is possible, the only thing I can see is adding the subroutine call
after the use manually.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Alex

I would throw in a small handler into the apache config file and see if it
works. It should because of stacked handlers feature of mod_perl.
Don't worry it will not blow up your server and write all over your
/dev/hda! =)
