---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHORT TERM STUFF (this section should always be empty in a release version!)
(well, close to it anyhow)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- document Apache::File
- think about making 'use Apache::Log ()' automatic
- remove DIR_MAGIC_TYPE from mod_perl's handler table, if possible (Salvador)
- should Apache::Registry use -M or (stat _)[9]?
- restart troubles: Apache::DBI, @INC
- ActivePerl?
- ldopts() spits out ccdlflags when linker is ld
- Paul J. Reder's aix/dso port
- Apache::Include->virtual should return run() value, not status()
- win32 socket bug (WSAStartup() needed for each thread?)
- Makefile.PL should always push load_modules.pl for 'make test'
- make PERL_STARTUP_DONE_CHECK=1 default for win32?
- turn of strip of httpd in Apache's install.sh
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN BUGS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- sfio/solaris problem
Lupe Christoph <lupe@alanya.m.isar.de>, Don Hayward <don@mote.org>
- Gerald's report of Embperl/sub-request/print breakage
- looks like we need a per-server configuration merge routine
- need turn of strip of httpd during 'make install'
- SSIs executed using /bin/sh, not suexec as configured?
Theo Van Dinter <felicity@kluge.net>
- /perl/perl-status?sig dumps core under hpux 10.20
[David-Michael.Lincke@unisg.ch]
- USE_DSO=1 --> END blocks are run at startup time
- USE_DSO=1 broken on most platforms (core dump in dlclose)
- $r cannot use many api methods during ChildInit/ChildExit -> SEGV
- bytes_sent are not logged if header don't go through send_http_header(),
e.g CGI->header(-nph => 1, ...)
Eric Cholet <cholet@logilune.com>
- SIGALRM/flock, Lincoln Stein <lstein@cshl.org>
I often use this type of code to handle possibly blocked flocks():
local($timed_out) = 0;
local($SIG{ALRM}) = sub { $timed_out++; die "timed out"; }
alarm(5);
eval {
flock(FH,LOCK_EX);
}
alarm(0);
if ($timed_out) {
print "We timed out. Sorry.";
}
This has been working in standalone CGI scripts, but no longer works
in mod_perl. The signal handler gets called, but then the flock()
call seems to be restarted. It never exit the eval. So this is no big
deal, I just replace the blocking flock() with a poll.
- find a way to prevent "httpd spinning" (bug in Perl, not mod_perl)
- linkage problem w/ mod_auth_dbm (-ldbm)

- perl_config should not av_shift ARRAY refs from
%Apache::ReadConfig::
- die and AUTOLOADed DESTROY == empty $@ (Perl or mod_perl bug?)
- ExtUtils::Embed/ExtUtils::Liblist clash sometime w/
PERL_STATIC_EXTS, like so:
Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored:
'/opt/oracle/product/7.3.3/lib/libclient.a'

As Apacheweek reported a couple weeks ago, 'some' modules on Solaris have
problems with the mutex locking method used by 1.3b5. One of which is
mod_perl. To make it work I had to -DUSE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT or
the server would never answer a request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN MODULE BUGS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- can't multiple Apache::Include->virtual in a single request
- files that have been created after the server's (child?) startup are
being reported with negative age with -M test under Apache::Registry.
The workaround is to add $^T = time; at the beginning of the scripts. But
it would be much better if the Apache::Registry will do that
