among other things, this fixes a problem on at least Solaris and Linux
which causes apache children to SEGV on startup. I've tested this
version on Darwin and Linux.
changes since 1.25:
1.29 - Oct 7, 2003
Add a workaround for the 'rand' bug for perl 5.8.1 (compiled with
either -DUSE_HASH_SEED or -DUSE_HASH_SEED_EXPLICIT, which is the
default), causing all forked procs to produce the same rand
sequence. [Stas]
Fix t/net/perl/sym.pl (called by modules/symbol) not to affect other
tests (internal/http-get and internal/http-post, which were failing to
call exit) [Stas]
Fix Apache::ExtUtils to work with blead perl (it was breaking the
build) http://rt.perl.org/rt2/Ticket/Display.html?id=23803 [Stas]
1.28 - July 2, 2003
Apache::FakeRequest now isa Apache so code that is carefull about
$r and checks that $r->isa('Apache') will not fail [David Wheeler
<david@kineticode.com]
Add Mac OS X support to Apache::SizeLimit [David Wheeler
<david@kineticode.com>]
Change Apache::SizeLimit to not push a cleanup handler if already in
the cleanup handler phase, and adjust docs to show that cleanup
handler is the preferred phase to use [Perrin Harkins
<perrin@elem.com>]
Rename Apache::test to Apache::testold because Apache::test on
case-insensitive systems will collide with Apache::Test which
supercedes Apache::test. So if you want to keep on using Apache::test,
either bundle it with your project (putting it under inc/ or t/ so it
won't be installed) or require mod_perl 1.28 and use Apache::testold
instead. Of course the best route is to port your test suite to use
a much better Apache::Test which work with mod_perl 1.0 and 2.0.
[Philippe M. Chiasson, Stas Bekman]
Tweak mod_perl.h to defined _INCLUDE_APACHE_FIRST only after apache
headers were included [Stas Bekman]

STRLEN to Apache/typemap

- avoid use of unregistered local variables for Win32
in mod_perl.c and perl_config.c
- s/I32/U8/ in mod_perl.h, perl_config.c, and perl_util.c
- declare i and http_code to be STRLEN in perl_util.c
[Stas Bekman, Randy Kobes]

won't use use inherited $r by mistake [Stas Bekman]
use touch() from ExtUtils::Command, rather than a system touch(),
for the benefit of platforms without touch(). [Randy Kobes
<randy@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]
can't let the default typemap rule to convert sv into char* in
unescape_url, since it doesn't handle correctly undefs (returns an
unallocated "" string, which then causes a segfault in
ap_unescape_url. use SvPV_force, instead, which does the right
thing. [Stas Bekman]
Make sure to start perl, if it's not running, before processing Perl*
directives, with threaded perl and PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS=0 [Stas
Bekman]

to each child [Geoff Young <geoff@modperlcookbook.org>]
workaround Apache::Constants::AUTOLOAD problem with bleedperl
the first flag argument to perl cannot start with space, since perl tries

[Stas Bekman <stas@stason.org>]
starting from perl 5.7.3 for tied filehandles, tiedscalar magic is applied
to the IO slot of the GP rather than the GV itself. adjust the TIEHANDLE
macro to work properly under 5.7.3+. [Charles Jardine <cj10@cam.ac.uk>,

Put Apache's CFLAGS into AP_CFLAGS instead of CFLAGS, so that
people who like to override CFLAGS from the make line (make
CFLAGS='-arch ppc -arch i386') can do so without stomping the
Apache flags. [ Wilfredo Sanchez <wsanchez@KnowNow.com> ]
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
pkgsrc. Instead, a new variable PKGREVISION is invented that can get
bumped independent of DISTNAME and PKGNAME.
Example #1:
DISTNAME= foo-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= foo-X.YnbZ
Example #2:
DISTNAME= barthing-X.Y
PKGNAME= bar-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= bar=X.YnbZ (!)
On subsequent changes, only PKGREVISION needs to be bumped, no more risk
of getting DISTNAME changed accidentally.

Apache perl modules, and each compiled and installed/de-installed apparently
correctly.
As a side effect of the dynamic PLIST, we no longer need to to have separate
-static and -shared PLISTs. It's now easier than ever to make a perl5
package for NetBSD :)
