httpd.conf directive PerlHandler Apache::Hello->handler errors

[George Sanderson <ge...@xorgate.com>]

I have Apache 1.3.12 using mod_perl 1.24 as a DSO, built with Perl 5.6.0
which is running on Linux 2.2.14.

When the following is presented in the httpd.conf file: 
#
PerlModule Apache::Hello
<Location /hello/world>
SetHandler perl-script 
PerlHandler Apache::Hello->handler
</Location>
#
Results in the following error_log output: 
[Sun Aug 6 21:48:02 2000] [error] Undefined subroutine
&Apache::Hello->handler::handler
called at PerlHandler subroutine `Apache::Hello->handler' line 1.
(Opps. . . sorry about testing on Sunday :-)
The following works fine:
#
<Location /hello/world>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Hello
</Location> 
#
The proper interpretation is presented in the Eagle book 
(Apache Modules - Lincoln Stein:) on page 191. 
That is, use the method within the PerlModule if it exists, otherwise
search the
directory for the module.

Ah I C, said the Perl man!
Thank you for the clarification.

To clarify - some handlers can be called using object-oriented
techniques, and some can't.  The switch for this behavior is that the
handler is prototyped with ($$).  Apache::Hello isn't, so you can't call
its handler as a method, only as a function.

Eagle book, p. 190.

Page 70, Eagle Book.

You mean

PerlHandler Apache::Hello::handler

but note the comments in the book about automatic loading if you
specify the handler name explicitly.
