NAME

Getting Help with mod_perl 2.0 Core Development

Description

This document covers the resources available to the mod_perl 2.0 core developer. Please notice that you probably want to read the user's help documentation if you have problems using mod_perl 2.0.

The following mailing lists and resources can be of a major interest to the mod_perl 2.0 developers.

mod_perl

Submitting Patches

If you submit patches the Porting/patching.pod manpage can be very useful. You can find it perl-5.7.0/Porting/patching.pod or similar or read it online at http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Misc/perl-5.6.1/Porting/patching.html.

Note that we prefer the patches inlined into an email. This makes easier to comment on them. If your email client mangles the spacing and wraps lines, then send them as MIME attachments.

mod_perl 2.0 Core Development Discussion List

This list is used by the mod_perl 2.0 core developers to discuss design issues, solve problems, munch on patches and exchange ideas.

  • mailing list subscription: mailto:dev-subscribe@perl.apache.org

  • archive: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl-dev&r=1&w=2#apache-modperl-dev

When reporting problems, be sure to include the output of:

% perl build/config.pl

which generates the output from:

perl -V
httpd -V
Makefile.PL options

Please use the output generated by t/REPORT utility.

If you get segmentation faults please send the stack backtrace to the modperl developers list.
