SECURITY: CVE-2007-1349 (cve.mitre.org)
fix unescaped variable interpolation in Apache::PerlRun
regular expression to prevent regex engine tampering.
reported by Alex Solovey

Fix incorrect win32 detection in Apache::SizeLimit reported by
Matt Phillips <mphillips@virage.com> [Philippe M. Chiasson]
The print-a-scalar-reference feature is now deprecated and documented
as such [Stas]
fix "PerlSetVar Foo 0" so that $r->dir_config('Foo') returns 0, not undef
[Geoffrey Young]
for some reason .pm files during the modperl build see $ENV{PERL5LIB}
set in Makefile.PL, which is used for generating Makefiles, as
"PERL5LIB=/path:/another/path" instead of "/path:/another/path"
essentially rendering this env var useless. I'm not sure why, may be
MakeMaker kicks in somewhere. Trying to workaround by
s/PERL5LIB/PERL5LIB_ENV/, using anything that's not PERL5LIB. [Stas]
change $INC{$key} = undef; to delete $INC{$key}; in PerlFreshRestart
[Geoffrey Young]
Fix a bug in Makefile.PL for Win32 where it would, in
certain cases, pick up the wrong Perl include directory
[Steve Hay]
=item 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]
For Win32, add an INSTALL_LIB option to 'perl Makefile.PL' to
allow one to specify where to install mod_perl.lib. If not
given, this defaults to APACHE_SRC\libexec, if this exists.
Suggested by Steve Hay [randyk]
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]
On Win32 the uploaded file wasn't cleaned up (weither it's a bug in
CGI.pm or not), make sure we don't leave any dropped files around
[Steve Hay <steve.hay@uk.radan.com>]
For Win32, keep drive letters in mod_perl.dsp to fix bug, reported
by DH <crazyinsomniac@yahoo.com>, when compiling mod_perl in
cases where Apache and Perl are on different drives [Randy Kobes].
Add workaround to define statcache in Apache.xs so that
one can build on Win32 ActivePerl 8xx with LARGE_FILES
support [Randy Kobes]
=item 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>]
Add Win32 support to Apache::SizeLimit [Matt Phillips
<mphillips@virage.com> and Mohamed Hendawi <mhendawi@virage.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]

- avoid use of unregistered local variables for Win32
in mod_perl.c and perl_config.c

- declare i and http_code to be STRLEN in perl_util.c

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

Makefile.PL will look for --target=(\S+) in APACI_ARGS, if found use
instead of the default `httpd' for 'make test'
make sure ap_config_auto.h is picked up when PREP_HTTPD=1 (for

PERL_GET_SET_HANDLERS=1 if PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS
PERL_MARK_WHERE=1, PERL_TIE_SCRIPTNAME=1 if PERL_TRACE
new $r->server->next method

new experimental options PERL_SAFE_STARTUP and PERL_DEFAULT_OPMASK
when httpd is starting, opcodes will be disabled during PerlModule,
PerlRequire and <Perl></Perl>
-PERL_SAFE_STARTUP=1 enables PerlOpmask directive
if PerlOpmask is "default", use mask generated from src/opcodes.txt
else it's a file to create the mask in the format of src/opcodes.txt
if no PerlOpmask, no opcodes are disabled
- 'make update_op_mask OPCODE_FILE=my_opcodes.txt && make'
changes the default opmask generated from OPCODE_FILE
-PERL_DEFAULT_OPMASK=1 disables PerlOpmask directive, forces default
opmask on
-PERL_ORALL_OPMASK=1 enables $r->set_opmask method for per-directory masks
-new module Apache::Opcode for generating op_mask
Fixed Apache::Util::ht_time test (util.t) so it doesn't fail without
any reason

=item 1.14 - July 18, 1998
PERL_DEBUG=1 w/ USE_APACI=1 will properly link against libperld if exists
remove mod_perl.pm_version file. move Makefile.PL-time generated code
from mod_perl.pm.PL to mod_perl_hooks.pm.PL, remove mod_perl.pm.PL and
ship with a mod_perl.pm again that is not modified by Makefile.PL so
CPAN.pm can 'install mod_perl' again
added Apache::Util module (enable with PERL_UTIL_API=1 or EVERYTHING=1)
only break out of the write loop if rwrite() returns -1 and
r->connection->aborted, otherwise continue
added Apache::URI module (enable with PERL_URI_API=1 or EVERYTHING=1)
register_cleanup to SvREFCNT_dec handler stacks, otherwise we leak
during kill -USR1 when configuration is re-read
TAINT_NOT just after perl_run(), otherwise 'make test' may choke (when
it shouldn't):
"Insecure dependency in eval while running with -T switch.
Callback called exit."
[Salvador Ortiz]
move "rwrite returned -1" message from warn level to debug level
Makefile.PL fix for 'make test' and --enable-shared= modules
applied src/modules/perl/Makefile fixup for ApacheSSL

properly default $Apache::Registry::NameWithVirtualHost=1,
thanks to spot by Ryan A. Whelan
fix tied $r->err_headers_out cut-n-pasto [Peter Kaas <Peter.Kaas@lunatech.com>]
Apache::read_client_block will now use safemalloc/safefree, rather
than palloc, so memory is released after each read(), rather than at
the end of a request. (e.g. so file uploads don't cause too much growth)
Added mod_perl_method_handlers.pod file, a little article about using
perl objects with modperl. [ ask@netcetera.dk ]
Apache::Registry will now save END blocks just after the script is compiled,
instead of after the subroutine call. otherwise, if the client breaks the
connection, the hard_timeout will jump out of perl_handler(), and the save
will never happen. Thanks to Robert Nice and Ben Laurie for spotting this.
bug fix so PATH_INFO is properly reset, thanks to David Sklar for the spot
=item 1.12 - June 14, 1998
added a long overdue CREDITS file
add SSLCacheServer{Port,Path} directives for ApacheSSL + 'make test'
[Adam Laurie <adam@algroup.co.uk>]
added $r->location method
Various fixes and improvements to the APACI support:
- Added support for PERL_THREADS to apaci stuff.
This is needed under the bleeding edge Perl's
(e.g. 5.004_6X).
- Avoid more unnecessary file copies and edits under
APACI situation.
- Cleanup the PERL_XXX hooks in apaci/mod_perl.config[.sh]
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
- Add additional .xs.o target to apaci/Makefile.tmpl to
workaround braindead Makes.
[Brian P Millett <bpm@ec-group.com>]

emulate pre-1.3b6 r->uri/r->proxyreq behavior for proxy requests
inside the post_read_request_handler and add t/internal/proxy test
added additional installation document INSTALL.apaci which
describes the new APACI stuff (including background information).
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
added new (but still optional!) Apache 1.3 support via the new Apache
Autoconf-style Interface (APACI): The option USE_APACI=1 triggers a new
build-environment (from local apaci/) for the APACHE_SRC/src/modules/perl/
which provides a clean way (i.e. without patching anything inside APACHE_SRC,
not even the Configuration file) of configuring mod_perl via a
APACHE_SRC/src/modules/perl/mod_perl.config file. The completey configuration
is enabled by just using the APACI command "configure
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a"
[Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>]
experimental tie of $0 to Apache->request->filename, enable with
-DPERL_TIE_SCRIPTNAME
added little Apache::system that redirects output to the browser,
should this be imported into Apache::{Registry,PerlRun} scripts?
new Apache::Tie module, provides Apache::TieHashTable for a proper
interface to Apache table structures. The following methods, called
in a scalar context with no "key" argument, will return a HASH
reference, where HASH is tied to Apache::TieHashTable:
headers_in, headers_out, err_headers_out, notes, dir_config, subprocess_env
enable with PERL_TIE_TABLES=1
see also: t/net/perl/tie_table.pl
remove Cwd::fastcwd usage from Apache::Registry, use
$Apache::Server::CWD set at server startup instead
new method Apache->chdir_file, use to replace
chdir File::Basename::dirname($r->filename) in Apache::Registry
replace Apache::Registry use of IO::File w/ Apache::gensym
new function Apache::gensym (xsub, does same as Symbol::gensym)
add $ServerRoot/lib/perl to @INC at startup
add code to deal with 1.3b7-dev's SERVER_SUBVERSION replacement
a few doc patches [John D Groenveld <jdg117@elvis.arl.psu.edu>]
re-implemented $r->read to properly use *client_block methods and call
reset_timeout after each read in the loop. until this is well tested,
the method is called new_read. to test on tie'd STDIN reads, a startup
script can say this:
*Apache::READ = \&Apache::new_read;
added setup_client_block, should_client_block and get_client_block
methods
modules/cgi test will attempt a fileupload of perlfunc.pod to
file_upload.cgi if HTTP::Request::Common is installed
(libwww-perl-5.09+) and $CGI::VERSION >= 2.39
make $r->connection->aborted work as documented again, thanks to spot
by Jens Heunemann
swap order of stacked handlers so dynamic ones (push_handlers) are
invoked after server .conf configured handlers
replace uses of SvPVX() with SvPV() to prevent possible core dump if
called with a non-string value
added COMPILED REGULAR EXPRESSIONS section to mod_perl_traps.pod

have ldopts yank ExtUtils::Liblist message:
Note (probably harmless): No library found for ...
from stdout to stderr [Stas Bekman <stas@stason.org>]
change Apache.xs/typemap so classes who inherit from the Apache class
can invoke methods with a hash object, provided $hash->{_r} contains a
request_rec object
additions to experimental Perl directive support:
- a per-directory config object is now passed as the first argument
to directive handlers registered via Apache::ExtUtils->xs_cmd_table
the object is a hash reference blessed into the same class as the handler
- $r->dir_config with no args now looks for per-directory config in
the caller's namespace
- xs_cmd_table now looks for a prototype to determine TAKE1,
TAKE2, TAKE3, etc.
added $Apache::CurrentThreadId variable under win32
added method/object handler tests to internal/stacked test
fixed broken modules/eperl test spotted by Tom Mornini
fixed Makefile.PL bug spotted by Jon Drukman w/ PERL_CHILD_EXIT=1

and provides a `dirty-perl' handler (see pod). thanks to Stas Bekman
for testing and suggestions.
PERL_OBJECT_HANDLERS now enabled #ifdef PERL_METHOD_HANDLERS
widen scope of mutex lock under win32 to avoid possible deadlock
[Gerald Richter <richter@ecos.de>]
fixed bug in directory_merge where FLAG directives would inherit `On'
from the base configuration, even if the directory explicitly had the
flag turned `Off', this was the case for PerlSendHeader and
PerlSetupEnv. thanks to Mark-Jason Dominus for the spot.
added `grab' function to Apache::test, which fetches a url and gives
diagnostics as to validity of the HTTP response
(a test for properly formatted headers!)

[Stefano Santoro <ssantoro@voicetek.com>, Dan Peterson <pete@spry.com>]
removed obsolete src/Makefile.tmpl and src/Makefile.tmpl-Ben-SSL files

fix so END blocks encountered at startup are run at shutdown
(I think one of the 1.07_xx version broke it)
If exists, Makefile.PL will add /usr/local/stronghold/conf/httpd.conf's
StrongholdKey to t/conf/httpd.conf for 'make test' for you
Makefile.PL will edit Stronghold's Makefile to replace:
"CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS)" with 'CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS)' so the SUBVERSION thang works

added Apache::Symbol module with an undef_functions method
Apache->server_root_relative now defaults to "" when no
filename/directory name argument is given (ie returns ServerRoot)
made PERL_TRACE more useful with levels set via environment variable
MOD_PERL_TRACE:
d - trace directive handling during config read
s - trace processing of perl sections
h - trace Perl*Handler callbacks
g - trace global variable handling, intepreter allocation, END blocks, etc.
all - all of the above
will add -DSTRONGHOLD to CFLAGS if build against stronghold, thanks to
Todd R. Eigenschink
fix Makefile.PL's parsing of SERVER_SUBVERSION, spotted by Paul Sutton
$r->send_http_header can now accept an optional second argument, if
present will set $r->content_type
PerlPassEnv, PerlRequire and PerlModule now use an array_header
structure for internal storage
1.3b4 compat:
- adapt to new table api changes (with help from Rob Hartill and Dean Gaudet)
- adapt to *.h move to the new src/include directory
Apache::Status enhancements:
- "Loaded Modules" will now report last modified time
- "packages" are now links, click, symbol table dump
- now that packages are links, no longer do recursive dump
(recurse yourself via hyperlinks, much easier to read!!!)
- hashes, scalars and arrays are now links,
click, Data::Dumper Dump (only if PerlSetVar StatusDumper is On)
- functions are now links, click, subroutine info (requires the B module)
- dump of any type also has a link "Peek Dump"
(only if PerlSetVar StatusPeek is On and Apache::Peek is installed)
- dump of any type also has a link "OP Tree Graph"
(only if PerlSetVar StatusGraph is On)
(requires the B and B::Graph modules and the dot program)
- added t/modules/status test
with the -DPERL_MARK_WHERE experimental feature enabled, there's a
chance you'll never see "Use of uninitialized value." again without
some more useful information, nor will you see '-e' reported outside
of Apache::Registry
perl_destruct_level can now be set via the environment variable
PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL or -DPERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL
turn default perl_destruct_level down from 2 to Perl's default of 0
use a copy of apache's ap_cpystrn against versions < 1.3b4-dev
got rid of "Use of uninitialized value." warning in perl_util.c seen
when running HTML::Embperl, hunted down by Todd Eigenschink and Gerald
Richter
added modules/src test for Apache::src

Makefile.PL will now chmod a+x t/net/perl/* t/net/perl/io/*
thanks to Rob Hartill
experimental features can be enabled with -DDEFINEs instead of
$variables or %ENV, changes to Makefile.PL make them simple to add,
see eg/makepl_args.mod_perl for even simpler
added eg/makepl_args.mod_perl
the makepl_args.mod_perl can now have multiple lines, space, #comments
and empty newlines are ignored, stops reading if it hits __END__
Makefile.PL will now also look for $ENV{HOME}/.makepl_args.mod_perl
and read in if exists
before clearing handlers stacked via Apache->push_handlers at the end
of each request, save the PerlChildExitHandler stack and putback after
the clear. this way, modules pulled in at server startup can say:
Apache->push_handlers(PerlChildExitHandler => sub {})
a "top-level" mod_perl per-directory directive would cause core dump
inside <Perl> sections. now trap that and exit with message that the
directive should be inside a containter e.g. %Location, %VirtualHost
(not sure what the real problem is here)
re-work PERL_SECTIONS_SELF_BOOT stuff so it calls perl_section() directly,
rather than perl_eat_config_string("<Perl>\n</Perl>"), because:
- it no longer core dumps when a "top-level" per-server directive is found
- it no longer requires 1.3b3+ (1.2.x will work)
- it is faster
PerlModule/PERL_SECTIONS_SELF_BOOT will delete $INC{$PerlModule} on
the first config read pass, so it's re-read on the second pass
if ($] < 5.004_04) Makefile.PL will warn that users should upgrade to
5.004_04 or higher
removed Apache::PerlSections' self test now that we have
modules/psections.t and it won't work without the =pod line.

make Apache::Resource simpler to configure, to use w/ all defaults
(1.3bx + PerlChildInitHandler required):
PerlSetEnv PERL_RLIMIT_DEFAULTS On
PerlModule Apache::Resource
Makefile.PL will now:
mv "t/conf/httpd.conf", "t/conf/httpd.conf.old"
so httpd.conf is re-generated when Makefile.PL is re-run
added new module Apache::src for finding it and picking out bits-n-pieces
get rid of some <Perl> section warnings with help from Doug Bagley
improved register_cleanup tests

remove t/TEST's search for obsolete directories, which caused trouble
on IRIX 6, spotted by Lasse Petersen
for internal redirects (spotted by $r->cgi_header_out), don't
perl_call_halt(), instead, tie STDOUT to the Apache::FakeRequest class
which just soaks up print() output.
suggestion from Salvador Ortiz, for table methods, if value is
undef, call table_unset underneath, these methods are subprocess_env,
header_in, header_out, err_header_out, notes and dir_config. e.g.:

$ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} (and possibly other switches -T, -w)
PerlScript is pulled in via 'do $PerlScript';
applied patch from Ron Hawkins to fix bug in perl_setup_env() when
running with Stronghold in secure mode
added Apache::PerlSections module, currently with one method: dump()
for use in <Perl> sections, PerlScript and PerlModules, can now say
'my $s = Apache->server' during server startup, which returns a
server_rec* blessed into the Apache::Server class just as $r->server
does during request time.
Apache::Server class can now warn() and log_error()
avoid using LWP::Simple so we don't get caught up on HTTP_PROXY which
was cause 'make test' to fail several tests for some people.
thanks to Philippe Froidevaux, Tom Hughes and Frank Cringle
added some 3rd-party tests for Apache::Stage and Apache::Sandwich

thanks to Peter Levart and Scott Holdren for spotting this
=item 1.03 - 10/23/97
configure/build/INSTALL enhancements with much help from Bowen Dwelle:
- to use an apache Configuration file that mod_perl will not edit:
perl Makefile.PL CONFIG=Configuration.custom
- perl Makefile.PL DYNAMIC=1 ALL_HOOKS=1 ...
Configure mod_perl with ../apache_1.2.4/src ? [y]
Shall I build httpd in ../apache_1.2.4/src for you? [y] n
now, $APACHE_SRC/modules/perl/Makefile will be enabled with those hooks
- to aid EXTRA_CFLAGS when building by hand or using a custom
Configuration file: `perl -Mmod_perl -e subversion` prints:
SERVER_SUBVERSION=\"mod_perl/$mod_perl::VERSION\"
- fixed up INSTALL quite a bit
added $r->post_connection alias for $r->cleanup_handler
if 1.3b2+, drop log_error(), use new aplog_error() instead (everywhere)

now that CGI.pm runs solid under mod_perl and mod_perl requires
5.004+, there's no need for $r->print and CGI::Switch, so those
examples don't need "porting"
force 'PerlSendHeader On' for sub-requests, e.g. Apache::Sandwich
so headers don't show up in the browser
fixed PerlSendHeader bug with virtual includes spotted by Scott Holdren
make lib/mod_perl.pm -> mod_perl.pm symlink (for 'make test') relative,
suggested by Bowen Dwelle
applied patch from Andreas to add a new $r->subprocess_env method

have Makefile.PL edit t/net/perl/cgi.pl's #! line to fix perl location
thanks to Frank Cringle for spotting this
=item 1.01 - 10/16/97
removed undocumented auto-import of qw(OK DECLINED) use to short-cut
Perl*Handlers and/or apache C handlers, use Apache::OK and
Apache::DECLINED instead
start perl interpreter with -Mmod_perl so _every_ module no matter
where it's loaded from will see $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} and $ENV{MOD_PERL}
Thanks to Mark Dedlow for illustrating this need with Apache::DBI and friends.
<Perl> section %Hash values of hash refs now go through
perl_handle_command_hv(), so `Location' can be inside %VirtualHost,
etc. Thanks to Ask Hansen for spotting this.
<Perl> section %Hash values of array refs now go though
perl_handle_command_av(), so proper action is used on TAKE1, etc.
if Tie::IxHash is available, tie <Perl> section %Hashes to it, so the
apache config routines get info in the order it needs to. Thanks to
Rob Hartill and Dean Gaudet for explaining this need for 1.3bx's
new virtual host features
include the mod_perl logo image (mod_perl.gif)
ensure _all_ stacked handlers registered with $r->push_handlers() are
cleared after each request to fix bug spotted by Peter Lister
test suite will now delete $ENV{HTTP_PROXY} before running,
thanks to Frank Cringle

'PerlSetVar MaxModPerlRequestsPerChild 10' behaves like
MaxRequestsPerChild, but counts mod_perl requests only. 1.3b1-dev+ is
needed for this
=item 1.00_03 - 09/21/97

set to `On'
=item 1.00_02 - 09/15/97
1.3b1 stuff:
- $r->warn and $r->log_error go through new aplog_error() function.
If `LogLevel' is not set to `warn' or higher, $r->warn messages are
ignored (not sent to error_log).
(i.e. $r->warn == APLOG_WARNING, $r->log_error == APLOG_ERR)
- always enable child_init/child_exit
+ use child_init for perl_init_ids()
+ use child_exit to:
-run END blocks suspended at server startup

substr() instead of .=
Apache->seqno will no longer dig into scoreboard info for rec.my_access_count
the seqno method was originally introduced for CGI.pm, which now uses

does anyone actually use Apache->seqno?
perl_section() will call perl_startup() if Perl's not running already,
as suggested by Rob Hartill
included t/conf/httpd.conf.pl for testing <Perl>, which can replace
t/conf/httpd.conf if you've configured with PERL_SECTIONS=1

of calling log_error foreach @_, suggested by Joel Wagner
PerlScript may now be relative to ServerRoot

John Groenveld
some source re-org: split stuff into perl_util.c and perlio.c,
rename config.c -> perl_config.c, various cleanups
the constants.t test is now run under httpd with t/net/constants.pl

the `PerlNewSendHeader' directive is gone, replace with `PerlSendHeader'
fixed Apache::exit so it no longer calls C-level exit (unless exit
code == -2), it now just terminates the perl callback, without
producing an "Internal Server Error" therefor, we complete _all_

under certain conditions. the test suite nows tests calling exit()
applied patch from Brian Millett to Makefile, so SSL_CFLAGS are used
with Ben-SSL
=item 1.00 - 07/28/97

-level sets $Apache::Registry::Debug
-define UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD to stop spinning when undefined sub is called
-Carp::confess instead of die()
-allocate $^M if $Config{cflags} =~ /EMERGENCY_SBRK/
croak() if should_client_block() to prevent spin into "Out of memory!"
make compatible with 1.2.1 r->read_length change so we don't hang
on file uploads

leaks in perl_{stdout,stdin}2client
can now say 'perl Makefile.PL PERL_SSI=1' to enable mod_include stuff
the link order of apache 1.2b12-dev has been switched back to the way
it was in b10, now we only have to muck with Makefile.tmpl if $Is_b11
once again, ensure CGI.pm knows GATEWAY_INTERFACE if it is use'd in a
PerlScript, thanks to Tom Hughes for spotting this
removed trick to make `require Apache::TieHandle' a noop, *nobody*
should still have that in any code, if so, sorry, get rid of it!
inspired by Pai-Ling Hsiao, added tiny Apache::Include module so the
mod_include <--!#perl directive can take advantage of
Apache::Registry, like so:
<!--#perl sub="Apache::Include" arg="/perl/ssi.pl" -->
added $r->translate_name method to run translate handlers
fix Apache::Status so it sends http headers! spotted by Mike Stok
have cgi.t skip its tests if CGI.pm is not installed, for Rob, the

Thanks to hint from Mike Fletcher
=item 0.98_08
added 'make test_report'
=item 0.98_07

=item 0.98_04
added BSDI dynamic loading notes from Gary Shea <shea@xmission.com> to
the INSTALL doc
added PRINTF method (again!) for tie'd STDOUT, spotted by Kristina Helen Long
the following stuff now works inside <Perl></Perl> sections:
- %VirtualHost, %Files and %Directory
- implemented <Limit GET POST> sections like so:
$Location{"/~dougm/"} = {
AuthUserFile => '/tmp/htpasswd',
AuthType => 'Basic',
AuthName => 'Homepage',
Limit => {
METHODS => 'GET POST',
require => 'user dougm',
},
};
- `PerlModule' configuration directive
set $SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE'; when the server starts to avoid hosing when:
`Apache->print lost connection to client'
thanks to Aaron Flin for the tip
=item 0.98_03 - 05/19/97
construct Perl interperter the first time perl_startup is called
rather than the second:
-slapped self upside head wondering why I did not do this before
-now -DAPACHE_SSL for Stronghold or Ben-SSL does not matter
-<Perl></Perl> sections work again
-ugly avoid_first_alloc_hack is gone!
added `ENVIRONMENT' section to mod_perl.pod
added `PerlSetEnv' configuration directive
back to only PerlHandler enabled by default
if STATIC=1 is configured during 'perl Makefile.PL', Apache::Constants

$r->register_cleanup will now save a pointer to the request_rec
rather than doing it in PerlTransHandler
applied patch from Martin Pool <m.pool@pharos.com.au> so we see the real
line number if something goes wrong in an Apache::Registry script

mod_include integration
=item 0.98_02
$r->send_http_header now resets $r->status to 200 after calling
send_http_header() to squash double header w/ Location: bug
spotted by Jonathan Lieberman
added $r->cgi_header_out so we can _really_ send headers the way
mod_cgi does (e.g. Set-Cookie bug spotted by Jonathan Lieberman)
=item 0.98_01
made room for args in perl_call_handler() for mod_include integration
in the future, this can be used to pass arguments to Perl*Handlers:
PerlHandlerArgs Package::sub_name OneArg TwoArg RedArg BlueArg
split out some config routines from mod_perl.c to config.c
fixed bug in Apache/Makefile.PL thanks to Jeff Rowe
now use translate slot to do some initialization
Perl*Handlers can now be anonymous subs (need 5.003_98+), e.g.:
PerlFixupHandler "sub { shift->header_out(Key => 'val') }"
finally get cleanups right:
- PerlCleanupHandler is now run during PerlLogHandler
- new method $r->register_cleanup uses register_cleanup
underneath and is always available
@INC is now reset to default after each request
fixed "const char *" bug in typemap spotted by Honza Pazdziora
=item 0.98 - 05/02/97
save a pointer to request_rec in the translate stage so we always have one
for PerlCleanupHandler (e.g. no PerlHandler first), tracked down by Eric Bartley
PerlTransHandler enabled by default now
don't use server_argv0 when intializing perl_startup's argv[], caught by Andreas
remove headers.t, will bring back in 0.98_01 and flesh out PerlNewSendHeader

go back to $|=1 #ifdef USE_SFIO, caught by Salvador Ortiz
=item 0.97_02 - 04/29/97
added documentation for stacked handlers and a little for method handlers.
$^X is now set to server_argv0 as suggested by Frank Cringle
Apache::Registry will now require CGI.pm version 2.35 or higher if you
are using it. Makefile.PL will also test and warn if it is < 2.35
removed examplish modules from the distribution into the contrib directory:
AuthzAge.pm, AccessLimitNum.pm, MsqlProxy.pm, SSI.pm
the contrib directory will be tar'd and uploaded to CPAN when updated.
added headers.t test for Perl(New)SendHeader
added option to link httpd with static Apache.o (the original way),
(Eric Bartley reported problems on aix with Apache.so, others?)
like so: perl Makefile.PL STATIC=1
only bother setting $$ once per-child
%ENV is now cleared by a registered cleanup function, rather than
after PerlHandler is called
applied patch from Andreas to ensure APACHE_SSL is defined if
we're configuring with it
putback -DSERVER_SUBVERSION now that netscape workaround is in 1.2b9
PerlNewSendHeader enhancement so headers don't need to be part of
a single print statement.
applied fix from Rob Hartill so Makefile.PL can parse beta version >= 10!
properly initialize cld->new_sendheader thanks to Rob Hartill
$r->print is now an xsub for speedup, even with the new
extra operation of checking $|, it's faster:
Benchmark: timing 100 iterations of 0.97_01, 0.97_02...
0.97_01: 9 secs ( 2.03 usr 0.19 sys = 2.22 cpu)
0.97_02: 8 secs ( 1.84 usr 0.17 sys = 2.01 cpu)
sfapachewrite() will now call Apache->print
if $| is non-zero, call rflush() after writing to the client
$| is reset to 0 before PerlHandler is called
applied patch from Eric Bartley to:
-add get_remote_logname() method
-update Apache.pm documentation including:
get_remote_logname, auth_type, auth_name, document_root, notes
fix so $r->rflush works with older apache's
=item 0.97_01 - 04/22/97
added experimental `PerlNewSendHeader' config directive
works like `PerlSendHeader', but scans headers for special
headers like Location:, Status:, etc.
simply uses a C global variable `sent_header', if true, sends
data asis to client, otherwise calls $r->send_cgi_header
currently, does not work with sfio (yet) and this only works if a
single print statement sends the headers like so:
print "Status: 302\n",
"Location: http://www.somewhere.com/\n",
"Content-type: text/html\n\n";
"fixed" new preg* clashes w/ 1.2b9-dev spotted by Dean Gaudet
reworked callback mechanism a bit:
- folded duplicate code in run_stacked_handlers() + perl_call()
- gv_fetchmethod called only if -DPERL_METHOD_HANDLERS
- perl_handler_ismethod now() uses class stash in gv_fetchmethod
- cache CV from perl_get_cv lookup if -DPERL_STACKED_HANDLERS
- included patch from Eric Bartley so we can say:
`Class->method' in Perl*Handler's if -DPERL_METHOD_HANDLERS
- fixed bug spotted by Rob Hartill so Perl*Handler (OK|DECLINED) work again
- added minimal tests for stacked handlers and method handlers
- PERL_METHOD_HANDLERS=1 can be set when running Makefile.PL
PerlCleanupHandler now uses register_cleanup underneath,
instead of abusing the logger slot.
PerlCleanupHandler is enabled by default
added PRINTF for tie'd STDOUT
detached Apache.o from httpd, now a dynamic extension. here's why:
- shinks httpd size
- possible to 'use Apache ()' outside of httpd
(very few methods will work though!)
- once mod_perl.c settles it will be possible to upgrade mod_perl
without rebuilding httpd!
added $r->server_root_relative function
Apache::Status has 2 new menu items (need Devel::Symdump 1.99_01+):
- "Inheritance Tree"
- "ISA Tree"

and PerSetVar's without stomping those that are in .htaccess
Apache->seqno will use the scoreboard's my_access_count if the -DSTATUS
option is enabled (default if mod_status is configured in)
=item 0.95_03
with 1.2b8-dev+, we no longer need a Makefile.tmpl
added Apache->max_requests_per_child method
now have taint.t test
added <Perl> config section (see httpd.conf.pl)
(needs 'perl Makefile.PL PERL_SECTIONS=1')

Apache::AuthenDBI and Apache::Authen removed from distribution,
now maintained by John Groenveld and Steve Kane
added PerlInitHandler and PerlCleanupHandler hooks

than one Perl*Handler to be defined and run during each stage of the
request.
Perl*Handler directives can now define any number of subroutines, e.g.

with a new method, Apache->push_handlers can add to the stack by
scripts at runtime
PerlLogHandler enabled by default during "stacked handlers" experiment
applied patches from Andreas to quiet prototype warnings seen with
perl5.003_94
applied patches from Gerald Richter <richter@ecos.de> to:
-add Apache::uri_unescape_info function (and make $r->args/content use it)

needed. however, scripts that are currently using:
use Apache:TieHandle ();
tie *STDOUT => "Apache::TieHandle";
will not break, but will produce a no longer needed warning
removed Apache::Registry's attempt to honor __END__, as Andreas
pointed out, this can't really be done right unless we have
Perl::Lex and Perl::Parse :-)

as suggested by Andreas
removed is_perlaliased from Apache::Debug, caught by Andreas

depreciation of Apache->request use outside of Apache::CGI and scripts
that run under Apache::Registry now spits out a warning. See Apache.pm
doc update for details.
$r->is_perlaliased has gone away
added api tests
added tests for callback hooks besides PerlHandler
added Apache::perl_hook function
if a callback does not return a status values, we assume OK,

added $r->connection->aborted method
added $r->the_request and $r->header_only methods

applied Makefile.PL patch from Rob Hartill so we compile with 1.2b3
=item 0.87
As suggested by Andreas, Makefile.PL now asks:
"Configure mod_perl with ../apache_xxx ?"
answering 'y' only means there is where we can find *.h
"Shall I build httpd in $adir for you?"
answering 'y' will run ../apache_xxx/Configure
and httpd will be built when running 'make'
$r->read now returns $nrd as it should
'perl Makefile.PL NO_HTTPD=1' will build only the perl side of
mod_perl (still need httpd.h for Constants.sl)

if there is no httpd.conf, Makefile.PL creates one for you, filling in
User and Group with uid and gid of the current process
updated Makefile.tmpl-1.2 with Makefile.tmpl from apache 1.2b2
if Makefile.PL finds apache version >= 1.2b3, instead of copying
Makefile.tmpl to ../src/apache_x.x, it uses the new '-make Makefile.tmpl'
option, made possible by Rob Hartill
otherwise, same as before and it now tells you it's made a backup
'Makefile.tmpl.bak'
fixed 'make test', so you _really_ don't have to modify anything,
hopefully
if libwww-perl is not installed, the tests that require it will not be run,
and it will be suggested that you install the library, but who doesn't
have libwww-perl installed???

build Perl, thanks to Andreas
added 'make offsite-tar' target for build the perl-side on machines
without apache source
fixed Makefile.tmpl* so people define EXTRA_FLAGS as suggested by Rob Hartill
a few minor fixes for Apache-SSL users
=item 0.85_04
applied patch from Rob Hartill to fix bug in $r->cgi_env
%ENV is cleared after each callback (&Perl*Handler)
added $r->cgi_var as suggested by Andreas:
calls $r->cgi_env($key) in a scalar context to prevent the
mistake of calling in a list context.
if a Perl*Handler returns something > 600 we assume OK (for now)
bug fixed introduced in 0.85_03 for Perl*Handler's not prefixed with
a Package:: causing httpd to sigsegv
ship with Makefile.tmpl-Ben-SSL for Apache-SSL users
Makefile.PL a little smarter
-knows if we're configuring with Ben-SSL, uses Makefile.tmpl-Ben-SSL
-after looking for 1.1.1 and 1.2*, globs for <apache*> not <apache_*>
-instead of rm -rf'ing the modules/perl/ directory we're configuring
against, we only rm -f those found in our MANIFEST
applied patch from Frank Cringle <fdc@CLIWE.PING.DE> to fix defaults
in CGI::XA
got rid of stupid warning "missing test.pl"
=item 0.85_03
cleaned up internal perl_setup_env()
Perl*Handler's default to calling Perl*Handler::handler if the

In addition, the class module will be loaded if it is not already,
so there is no need to specify PerlModule

$r->print now sets a hard_timeout() before sending to the client
$r->read now sets a hard_timeout() before reading from the client

updated UserGuide, now called 'mod_perl.pod'
updated INSTALL and README docs
perl_init will only perl_alloc and perl_contstruct once when the server
starts, meaning no more mad leaks when server is restarted
modified test suite adding extra tests for sfio and TIEHANDLE
unless Perl was configured to use perlio and sfio, STDOUT is tied by default to
the client, no more need for tie *STDOUT => Apache::TieHandle
Makefile.PL now looks for ../apache_1.1.1/src/, apache_1.2*/src/ to configure

added 'tar_Apache' target for copying the perl-side of mod_perl to other
machines without dragging the apache-side along.

added the start of a mod_perl test suite
got rid of conditional perl*rec members, which was causing compile problems
for some people
$r->exit now logs transactions before exit()'ing the process
applied clean-up and debug enhancement patch to Apache::Registry from Andreas
applied patch from Andreas to reduce Apache->request calls in Apache::CGI
$r->cgi_env now accepts arguments for setting variables
=item 0.84 - October 27, 1996
added pointer to Patrick Kane's <modus@enews.com> FAQ
applied Makefile.PL patches from Gisle
=item 0.83_10
send_cgi_header now sets $r->status to REDIRECT when it finds a Location
header which is not an internal redirect
Apache::Registry now returns $r->status rather than always OK
dropped old approach of the original mod_perl.c, mod_perl_fast functionality
has moved to the all-knowing, all-doing mod_perl
Makefile.PL for Apache::Constants looks for httpd.h in ../../apache*/src/
before prompting
dropped OK from @{$Apache::Constants::EXPORT_TAGS{response_codes}}
updated Constants.xs with patch from Gisle
applied Makefile.PL patch from Gisle to set PERL= in Makefile*
=item 0.83_09
fixed bug with get_basic_auth_pw spotted by Patrick Kane <modus@enews.com>
=item 0.83_08
get_basic_auth_pw now returns the $send_pw, rather that setting it,
see Apache.pm docs
applied patch from Andreas with the following changes:
1) regex directory added in Constants/Makefile.PL. Current apache
always needs -Iregex, that means for us an additional
-I$httpd/regex. I think, they should
#include <regex/something.h>
2) Assorted comments added to INSTALL, especially
* FileHandle bug explained as being a 5.003 bug (not "current")
* Configuration/Configuration.tmpl relation explained
* && instead of ; to separate commands is a must in Makefiles
* Gisle's hint about the default seems very important to me, so is
there again.
3) Drops the deprecated mod_alias patch from the whole distribution
4) A whitespace patch for src/modules/perl/Makefile
5) The regex directory also for src/modules/perl/Makefile
6) Shuffling of code between mod_perl_fast.c and mod_perl.h until it
fits the bill, who knows why :-0

added Apache::AuthzAge and Apache::AccessLimitNum modules
added $r->requires and $r->is_main, and $r->main methods
added callback hooks for authorization, access, type-check,
fixup and logger stages of the request
callback hooks can now be turned off at compile time with
-DNO_PERL_...., and are turned off by default, except for the
handler stage (PerlHandler)
reworked installation procedure to follow apache 1.2 recomendations,
the procedure will still work with older versions of apache.
No more Makefile.tmpl.x.x.x mess!!
updated #if MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBERS >='s so we're inline with apache 1.2-dev-19961009130008
=item 0.83_03
Perl*Handler's are now called with Apache->request as an argument
PerlHandler's may still ask for Apache->request so existing code and
mechanisms such as Apache::Registry will continue to work
However, other handlers such as PerlAuthenHandler and PerlTransHandler,
cannot use Apache->request.
added Apache::Constants module, based on patch to Apache.xs
from Gisle
updated Apache::Debug with patch from Gisle to
- update the status codes from the latest
HTTP::Status and produce a prettier and more output.

we now require ExtUtils::Embed as it has been re-named for
the standard perl distribution as of 5.003_01
