NAME
       HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler - Mason/mod_perl interface

VERSION
       version 1.54

SYNOPSIS
           use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler;

           my $ah = HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler->new (..name/value params..);
           ...
           sub handler {
               my $r = shift;
               $ah->handle_request($r);
           }

DESCRIPTION
       The ApacheHandler object links Mason to mod_perl (version 1 or 2), running components in
       response to HTTP requests. It is controlled primarily through parameters to the new()
       constructor.

PARAMETERS TO THE new() CONSTRUCTOR
       apache_status_title
           Title that you want this ApacheHandler to appear as under Apache::Status.  Default is
           "HTML::Mason status".  This is useful if you create more than one ApacheHandler object
           and want them all visible via Apache::Status.

       args_method
           Method to use for unpacking GET and POST arguments. The valid options are 'CGI' and
           'mod_perl'; these indicate that a "CGI.pm" or "Apache::Request" object (respectively)
           will be created for the purposes of argument handling.

           'mod_perl' is the default under mod_perl-1 and requires that you have installed the
           "Apache::Request" package.  Under mod_perl-2, the default is 'CGI' because
           "Apache2::Request" is still in development.

           If args_method is 'mod_perl', the $r global is upgraded to an Apache::Request object.
           This object inherits all Apache methods and adds a few of its own, dealing with
           parameters and file uploads.  See "Apache::Request" for more information.

           If the args_method is 'CGI', the Mason request object ($m) will have a method called
           "cgi_object" available.  This method returns the CGI object used for argument
           processing.

           While Mason will load "Apache::Request" or "CGI" as needed at runtime, it is
           recommended that you preload the relevant module either in your httpd.conf or
           handler.pl file, as this will save some memory.

       decline_dirs
           True or false, default is true. Indicates whether Mason should decline directory
           requests, leaving Apache to serve up a directory index or a "FORBIDDEN" error as
           appropriate. See the allowing directory requests section of the administrator's manual
           for more information about handling directories with Mason.

       interp
           The interpreter object to associate with this compiler. By default a new object of the
           specified interp_class will be created.

       interp_class
           The class to use when creating a interpreter. Defaults to HTML::Mason::Interp.

ACCESSOR METHODS
       All of the above properties, except interp_class, have standard accessor methods of the
       same name: no arguments retrieves the value, and one argument sets it, except for
       args_method, which is not settable.  For example:

           my $ah = HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler->new;
           my $decline_dirs = $ah->decline_dirs;
           $ah->decline_dirs(1);

OTHER METHODS
       The ApacheHandler object has a few other publically accessible methods that may be of
       interest to end users.

       handle_request ($r)
           This method takes an Apache or Apache::Request object representing a request and
           translates that request into a form Mason can understand.  Its return value is an
           Apache status code.

           Passing an Apache::Request object is useful if you want to set Apache::Request
           parameters, such as POST_MAX or DISABLE_UPLOADS.

       prepare_request ($r)
           This method takes an Apache object representing a request and returns a new Mason
           request object or an Apache status code.  If it is a request object you can manipulate
           that object as you like, and then call the request object's "exec" method to have it
           generate output.

           If this method returns an Apache status code, that means that it could not create a
           Mason request object.

           This method is useful if you would like to have a chance to decline a request based on
           properties of the Mason request object or a component object.  For example:

               my $req = $ah->prepare_request($r);
               # $req must be an Apache status code if it's not an object
               return $req unless ref($req);

               return DECLINED
                   unless $req->request_comp->source_file =~ /\.html$/;

               $req->exec;

       request_args ($r)
           Given an Apache request object, this method returns a three item list.  The first item
           is a hash reference containing the arguments passed by the client's request.

           The second is an Apache request object.  This is returned for backwards compatibility
           from when this method was responsible for turning a plain Apache object into an
           Apache::Request object.

           The third item may be a CGI.pm object or "undef", depending on the value of the
           args_method parameter.
