Description

ModPerl::Util provides mod_perl 2.0 util functions.

API

ModPerl::Util provides the following functions and/or methods:

untaint

Untaint the variable, by turning its tainted bit off (used internally).

  untaint($var);

• arg1: $var (scalar)
• ret: no return value

Do not use this function unless you know what you are doing. To learn how to properly untaint variables refer to the perlsec manpage.

current_callback

Returns the currently running callback, like 'PerlResponseHandler'.

  $callback = Apache::current_callback();

• ret: $callback (string)

exit

Used internally to replace CORE::exit and terminate the request, not the current process.

  ModPerl::Util::exit($status);

• opt arg1: $status (integer)

  The exit status, similar to CORE::exit. If not passed, the default value of 0 is used.

• ret: no return value
