# external (non-mod_perl) APR:: issues #
########################################

* As mike chamberlain told me over irc, apr-ext/perlio was faling for
  him because of the modperl_perl_gensym not being resolved in
  APR/PerlIO.so. I didn't see that error since on linux by default
  symbols resolution is lazy and since that part of the api wasn't
  tested I did see the problem. On MacOSX the loading is RTLD_NOW
  (non-lazy) so it detects any missing symbols problems immediately.

  Luckily DynaLoader allows us to force the non-lazy mode by setting
  an env var: PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1. We need to force this env variable on
  when building with MP_MAINTAINER=1. I suppose that it should be
  added to the autogenerated t/TEST and t/SMOKE. and to
  t/conf/modperl_extra.pl ($ENV{PERL_DL_NONLAZY}=1) so it affects the
  server-side as well as the client-side (normally env var aren't
  propogated to the server).

* APR::Table now depends on modperl_hash_tie, so it can't be used
  outside mod_perl. should probably abstract this function into a new
  utils.c object that can be linked by APR.so.

  Status: see the next item

* APR::PerlIO needs an equivalent of modperl_perl_gensym

  Status: we need to abstract those function into a separate object,
  which can be linked by APR.so. However I think we should probably
  provide a static build and after that see how to do the linking
  right. Otherwise we may have collisions with statically linked
  symbols and the dynamic ones.

  APR::Pool relies on interpreter management functions and therefore
  can't be used outside mod_perl.

  Status:
