✨ NAME ✨

APR — the Perl Interface for the Apache Portable Runtime (the libapr and libaprutil libraries) 💖

(also bestie, this is section 3pm of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, iykyk 🎀)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use APR ();

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the way this works: the moment it loads, this module gets the whole APR environment ready for you — it initializes the memory pools, the data structures, all of it ✨

and literally, you do not need to use this module yourself, because it's already loaded internally by every single APR::* module 👑 so it just… shows up. iconic behaviour fr fr.

---

💅 Using APR modules outside mod_perl 2.0 💅

so you can use the APR::* modules outside of mod_perl 2.0, bestie — you'd just use them exactly like you'd use them with mod_perl 2.0 🫶

for example, say you want a random unique string? you could just call:

% perl -MAPR::UUID -le 'print APR::UUID->new->format'

and boom, there it is 🌈
