redirect doesn't work in eval

[Marc Lambrichs <ml...@melange-it.nl>]

When a request is sent to the webserver, it handles some stuff and then 
- sometimes - a redirect must take place. Now the weird part:

when i use
$r->headers_out->set( Location => 'http://www.mysite.com/' );
return Apache2::Const::REDIRECT
inside an eval{} construction it doesn't work. Is there any logic to this?

Works for me: (Did I misunderstand?)

You can see this in action at
http://p6m7g8.net/redirect
and
http://p6m7g8.net/redirect_with_eval

<Location /redirect>
     SetHandler modperl
     PerlResponseHandler TEST::Redirect
</Location>

<Location /redirect_with_eval>
     SetHandler modperl
     PerlResponseHandler TEST::RedirectE
</Location>

package TEST::Redirect;

use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
use Carp;

use Apache2::Request ();
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(REDIRECT);

sub handler {

         my $r = shift;

         $r->headers_out->set(Location => 'http://google.com');
         return Apache2::Const::REDIRECT;
}

1;

package TEST::RedirectE;

use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
use Carp;

use Apache2::Request ();
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(REDIRECT);

sub handler {

         my $r = shift;

         eval {
                 $r->headers_out->set(Location => 'http://yahoo.com');
                 return Apache2::Const::REDIRECT;
         }
}
