Description
"Apache2::ServerRec" provides the Perl API for Apache server_rec object.
"Apache2::ServerUtil" provides an extra functionality.
API
"Apache2::ServerRec" provides the following functions and/or methods:
"error_fname"
Get/set the "ErrorLog" file value (e.g. logs/error_log)
$error_fname = $s->error_fname();
$prev_error_fname = $s->error_fname($new_error_fname);
obj: $s ( "Apache2::ServerRec object" )
opt arg1: $new_error_fname ( string )
If passed, sets the new value for "ErrorLog"
Note the limited functionality under threaded MPMs.
ret: $error_fname ( string )
Returns the "ErrorLog" value setting.
If $new_error_fname is passed returns the setting before the change.

Notes
Limited Functionality under Threaded MPMs
Note that under threaded MPMs, some of the read/write accessors, will be able to set
values only before threads are spawned (i.e. before the "ChildInit phase"). Therefore if
you are developing your application on the non-threaded MPM, but planning to have it run
under threaded mpm, you should not use those methods to set values after the ChildInit
phase.
The affected accessor methods are marked as such in their respective documentation
entries.
Unsupported API
"Apache2::ServerRec" also provides auto-generated Perl interface for a few other methods
which aren't tested at the moment and therefore their API is a subject to change. These
methods will be finalized later as a need arises. If you want to rely on any of the
following methods please contact the the mod_perl development mailing list so we can help
each other take the steps necessary to shift the method to an officially supported API.
"addrs"
Get the addrs value
$addrs = $s->addrs();
obj: $s ( "Apache2::ServerRec object" )
ret: $addrs ( "Apache2::ServerAddr" )
Returns the addrs setting.
since: subject to change
META: this methods returns a vhost-specific Apache2::ServerAddr object, which is not
implemented at the moment. See the struct server_addr_rec entry in
httpd-2.0/include/httpd.h for more information. It seems that most (all?) of the
information in that record is available through other APIs.
"lookup_defaults"
Get the lookup_defaults value. MIME type info, etc., before we start checking per-
directory info.
$lookup_defaults = $s->lookup_defaults();
obj: $s ( "Apache2::ServerRec object" )
ret: $lookup_defaults ( "Apache2::ConfVector" )
Returns the lookup_defaults setting.
since: subject to change
"module_config"
Get config vector containing pointers to modules' per-server config structures.
$module_config = $s->module_config();
obj: $s ( "Apache2::ServerRec object" )
ret: $module_config ( "Apache2::ConfVector" )
Returns the module_config setting.
since: subject to change
"names"
Get/set the value(s) for the "ServerAlias" setting
$names = $s->names();
$prev_names = $s->names($new_names);
obj: $s ( "Apache2::ServerRec object" )
opt arg1: $new_names ( "APR::ArrayHeader" )
If passed, sets the new names.
Note the limited functionality under threaded MPMs.
ret: $names ( "APR::ArrayHeader" )
Returns the names setting.
If $new_names is passed, returns the setting before the change.
since: 2.0.00
META: we don't have "APR::ArrayHeader" yet
"wild_names"
Wildcarded names for ServerAlias servers
$wild_names = $s->wild_names();
$prev_wild_names = $s->wild_names($new_wild_names);
obj: $s ( "Apache2::ServerRec object" )
opt arg1: $new_wild_names ( "APR::ArrayHeader" )
If passed, sets the new wild_names.
Note the limited functionality under threaded MPMs.
