DESCRIPTION
This module is designed to allow people to more quickly implement uri to
function style handlers. This module is intended to be subclassed.
A request for
$r->location . qq[/foo/bar/baz/]
will be served by the first of the following functions with is defined
foo_bar_baz_page
foo_bar_page
foo_page
index
handler
"handler" is the guts of DirBasedHandler. It provides the basic
structure of the modules, turning the request uri into an array, which
is then turned into possible function calls.
init
"init" is used to include objects or data you want to be passed into
your page functions. To be most useful it should return a hash
reference. The default implementation returns a reference to an empty
hash.
parse_uri
"parse_uri" takes an Apache::RequestRec (or derived) object, and returns
a reference to an array of all the non-slash parts of the uri. It strips
repeated slashes in the same manner that they would be stripped if you
do a request for static content.
uri_to_function
"uri_to_function" converts an Apache2::RequestRec (or derived) object
and an array reference and returns and returns the name of a function to
handle the request it's arguments describe.
index
"index" handles requests for $r->location, and any requests that have no
other functions defined to handle them. You must subclass it (or look
silly)
