VERSION
version 0.16SYNOPSIS
package Printer;
# default:
# Request for mod_perl env
# Process for non-mod_perl env
use base qw(Apache::Singleton);
package Printer::PerRequest;
use base qw(Apache::Singleton::Request);
package Printer::PerProcess;
use base qw(Apache::Singleton::Process);
DESCRIPTION
Apache::Singleton works the same as Class::Singleton, but with various object lifetime (scope). See Class::Singleton first.OBJECT LIFETIME
By inheriting one of the following sublasses of Apache::Singleton, you can change the scope of your object.- Request
-
use base qw(Apache::Singleton::Request);
One instance for one request. Apache::Singleton will remove instance on each request. Implemented using mod_perl "pnotes" API. In mod_perl environment (where $ENV{MOD_PERL} is defined), this is the default scope, so inheriting from Apache::Singleton would do the same effect.
NOTE: You need "PerlOptions +GlobalRequest" in your apache configuration in order to use the Request lifetime method.
- Process
-
use base qw(Apache::Singleton::Process);
One instance for one httpd process. Implemented using package global. In non-mod_perl environment, this is the default scope, and you may notice this is the same beaviour with Class::Singleton ;)
So you can use this module safely under non-mod_perl environment.
