mod_perl2 and Attribute::Handlers?

[Stephen Quinney <st...@computing-services.oxford.ac.uk>]

I have been attempting to use some code that utilises the
Attribute::Handlers module within mod_perl2 without success. I know the
modules work perfectly outside of the mod_perl2 environment. I am aware
that there are issues with this as it is doing work at the CHECK phase
and I've read:

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/coding/coding.html#C_CHECK__and_C_INIT__Blocks

I have tried using PerlModule, PerlLoadModule and a startup.pl script
via PerlPostConfigRequire but none of these are having the desired
effect. Is there any hope of finding a way around this or should I
just bite the bullet and rewrite the code?

Thanks in advance,

Stephen Quinney

Stephen, have you loaded the code that uses the attributes at the startup 
as well? Do you have a simple test case to try? If so please pack it into 
the Apache-Test skeleton:

and send it here. Thanks.
