| <h3><a name="intro">Introduction</a></h3> |
| The Apache/Perl module list is here for the same reason as the |
| main <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/00modlist.long.html"> |
| Perl module list</a>, to change duplication of effort into cooperation |
| and help to save the world! Apache/Perl modules are somewhat different |
| from the many others found on CPAN. Most Perl modules are |
| "building blocks", developers use them |
| to build applications or even more building blocks. |
| It just so happens |
| that Apache/Perl modules are encapsulted inside a namespace and .pm file. |
| However, this does not make them all building blocks, many are just like |
| apache modules written in C, you install, edit the server configuration |
| files and you're done. Before you start a new module, consider this: |
| Apache/Perl modules are useless outside of mod_perl and Apache. Do your best |
| to design such that your <b>Apache::*</b> module will make good use of the |
| building blocks found on CPAN, putting together new building blocks where |
| appropriate and simply glue them together with the Apache |
| API, keeping the <b>Apache::*</b> modules very small. |
| <p> |
| These modules will also serve as good examples, showing you where modules |
| can step in during a stage of a request with <b>Perl*Handler</b> callbacks. |
| You'll also see how and when to use the Apache API methods. |
| |
| <h3><a name="part">Playing Your Part</a></h3> |
| Apache and Perl are world-wide collaborative efforts, naturally, the |
| Apache/Perl integration project is the same.<br> |
| You've started on the right foot simply by reading this document, thanks!<br> |
| Please be sure you've read the |
| main <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/00modlist.long.html"> |
| Perl module list</a>, all that is said there is relevant here! |
| <p> |
| If you have any additions or changes for the list, please send them to |
| the Apache/Perl <a href="mailto:modperl@apache.org"> mailing list </a> |
| or to <a href="mailto:dougm@pobox.com">me</a>. |
| <p> |
| If you wish to share you module(s) the Perl way, by putting them on CPAN, |
| send a request to <a href="mailto:dougm@pobox.com">me</a> or |
| <a href="mailto:modules@perl.com">modules@perl.com</a> to get set up with a |
| PAUSE user id and directory. |

| <h3><a name="where">Where Are The Modules Kept?</a></h3> |
| Modules listed with the <b>APML</b> as is contact are part of the |
| mod_perl distribution package. Other modules can be found on CPAN |
| the <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/Apache/"> |
| modules/by-module/Apache/</A> directory. If they have not made it |
| to CPAN yet, they might be found in the mod_perl |
| <a href="http://perl.apache.org/src/contrib/">contrib</a> |
| directory, which is also tar'd and distributed via CPAN in the |
| <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/Apache/"> |
| modules/by-module/Apache/</A> directory. |
| Otherwise, feel free to ask the contact author or the list |
