Hi.
"> I was thinking this project has died."

I would sincerely hope not.
At least for my company, mod_perl is still a vital and effective piece of our software
development and infrastructure.
Many thanks to Steve Hay (and many others) for keeping perl and mod_perl alive and well.
Judging by the perl dev list, there also seems to be this past year a definite regain of
enthousiasm about perl itself, which I hope in time will communicate to mod_perl (*).
And many wishes to the same people for keeping themselves safe, alive and well in the New
Year too.

I would like to second that.
mod_perl has a lot of value to offer in terms of power and flexibility.
I certainly hope the hype on some other programming languages will
falter and developers will look at mod_perl as a strong API backend for
example.

I would like to take this occasion to wish you all a great end of year
festivities and express my gratitude to Steve Hay and all others
contributing. This is an awesome piece of software!

Kind regards,
Jacques Deguest

Thanks Steve and everyone other who developed perl/modperl. I hope the
project can survive a long time.

With the exception of t/filter/in_bbs_inject_header.t, all tests pass
with perl-5.34.0 under OmniOS/illumos.

On FreeBSD, there's this additional failure:
T -verbose apr-ext/finfo.t
# testing : $finfo->device()
# expected: '90074047811460016'
# received: '9.007404781146e+16'
not ok 16

Absolutely not dead!

I tinkered a little bit with some non-mod_perl.
(just some new stuff, never stopped what was running.)

I simply decided, why the hell am I doing this?

Ditched all that waste of time and running all mod_perl again.

So if it's good enough to return to after experimenting a little away
from it and not happy with that, I would say that that is should have
many years of life ahead!

Thanks for all the work of keeping things going.
Just because there isn't a ton of activity on the mailing list doesn't
really signify perhaps much more than it's easy to pick up. :-}

Thank you all!

I would say hello to modperl too.
I once used modperl for an auth handler which worked nice.
That's to say, someone wants to download a static file from Apache, he/she
must pass a string for authentication.
And this auth can be made easy in modperl's auth stage (IIRC).

Thanks & Happy new year.

I expect that mod_perl2 will be around for a long time. I use it
for a lot of web projects, but most of them are for internal systems.

With Perl 7 on the horizon, there could very well also be at least a
slight increase in interest.

Still waiting to see the necessary votes from other committers before
I can release this.

FWIW it's all good here (Windows 10) with httpd 2.4.51 / perl 5.34.0.

Is there any update on libapr?

Thanks
