NAME

       ModPerl::Const -- ModPerl Constants

Synopsis
	 # make the constants available but don't import them
	 use ModPerl::Const -compile => qw(constant names ...);

	 # w/o the => syntax sugar
	 use ModPerl::Const ("-compile", qw(constant names ...));

	 # compile and import the constants
	 use ModPerl::Const qw(constant names ...);

Description
       This package contains constants specific to mod_perl features.

	 );

	 # extend the default value of WriteMakefile's attribute

	 );

Description
       "ModPerl::MM" is a "subclass" of "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" for mod_perl 2.0, to a degree of sub-classability of "ExtUtils::MakeMaker".

       When "ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile()" is used instead of "ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteMakefile()", "ModPerl::MM" overrides several
       "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" methods behind the scenes and supplies default "WriteMakefile()" arguments adjusted for mod_perl 2.0 build. It's
       written in such a way so that normally 3rd party module developers for mod_perl 2.0, don't need to mess with Makefile.PL at all.

"MY::" Default Methods
       "ModPerl::MM" overrides method foo as long as Makefile.PL hasn't already specified a method MY::foo. If the latter happens, "ModPerl::MM"
       will DWIM and do nothing.

       In case the functionality of "ModPerl::MM" methods needs to be extended, rather than completely overriden, the "ModPerl::MM" methods can be
       called internally. For example if you need to modify constants in addition to the modifications applied by "ModPerl::MM::MY::constants",
       call the "ModPerl::MM::MY::constants" method (notice that it resides in the package "ModPerl::MM::MY" and not "ModPerl::MM"), then do your
       extra manipulations on constants:

	 # if there is a need to extend the methods
	 sub MY::constants {
	     my $self = shift;
	     $self->ModPerl::MM::MY::constants;
	     # do something else;
	 }

       In certain cases a developers may want to prevent from "ModPerl::MM" to override certain methods. In that case an explicit override in
       Makefile.PL will do the job. For example if you don't want the "constants()" method to be overriden by "ModPerl::MM", add to your
       Makefile.PL:

	 sub MY::constants { shift->MM::constants(@_); }";

       "ModPerl::MM" overrides the following methods:

   "ModPerl::MM::MY::post_initialize"
       This method is deprecated.

"WriteMakefile()" Default Arguments
       "ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile" supplies default arguments such as "INC" and "TYPEMAPS" unless they weren't passed to
       "ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile" from Makefile.PL.

       If the default values aren't satisfying these should be overriden in Makefile.PL. For example to supply an empty INC, explicitly set the
       argument in Makefile.PL.

	 ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile(
	     ...
	     INC => '',
	     ...
	 );

       If instead of fully overriding the default arguments, you want to extend or modify them, they can be retrieved using the
       "ModPerl::MM::get_def_opt()" function. The following example appends an extra value to the default "INC" attribute:

	 my $extra_inc = "/foo/include";
	 ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile(
	     ...
	     INC => join " ", $extra_inc, ModPerl::MM::get_def_opt('INC'),
	     ...
	 );

       "ModPerl::MM" supplies default values for the following "ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile" attributes:

   "CCFLAGS"
   "LIBS"
   "INC"
   "OPTIMIZE"
   "LDDLFLAGS"
   "TYPEMAPS"
   "dynamic_lib"
       "OTHERLDFLAGS"

	 dynamic_lib => { OTHERLDFLAGS => ... }

   "macro"
       "MOD_INSTALL"

	 macro => { MOD_INSTALL => ... }

       makes sure that Apache-Test/ is added to @INC.

Public API
       The following functions are a part of the public API. They are described elsewhere in this document.

   "WriteMakefile()"
	 ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile(...);

   "get_def_opt()"
	 my $def_val = ModPerl::MM::get_def_opt($key);
