Logging With Mod Perl 2.0

[Tyler Bird <bi...@epromo.com>]

But I was wondering isn't there anything I can do to mod_perl that will 
allow a plain warn to send it to my virtualhosts log and not my servers
log.

without using the $r->warn() syntax



warn("hey") really goes t the virtual hosts log and I don't have to put $r->warn()

warn() is just sending the message to perl's STDERR which is attached to 
the main apache error log.

to get apache to send output to different places you need to call the 
relevant functions in apache's API - mod_perl provides a perl version of 
that API.

So for mp1 that's Apache::Log, and Apache2::Log for mp2. I can't see 
there being any options outside what those modules already provide.

The problem is you need a $r object for that. In MP1 there was a global one. 
In MP2 there is not.

Your problem can possibly be solved by using PerlOptions +GlobalRequest plus 
modifying the warn function by either setting $SIG{__WARN__} or 
*CORE::GLOBAL::warn=sub{...}

*CORE::GLOBAL::warn=sub {
  (Apache2::RequestUtil->request || Apache2::ServerUtil->server)->warn(@_);
}
