💖 NAME 💖

Apache2::FilterRec — it's the Perl API for poking at the Apache filter record, bestie ✨

---

📜 Synopsis 📜

use Apache2::Filter ();
use Apache2::FilterRec ();

my $frec = $filter->frec;
print "filter name is:", $frec->name;

---

🌸 Description 🌸

So Apache2::FilterRec literally hands you a lil doorway into the filter record structure. That's the whole vibe. 🦋

You don't make one yourself — you get the Apache2::FilterRec object by calling frec(), like this:

$frec = $filter->frec;

---

✨ API ✨

Apache2::FilterRec gives you these functions and/or methods, okurrr 👑

---

💅 "name" 💅

The registered name for this filter. Like, its government name. 🪪

$name = $frec->name();

• obj: $frec ( Apache2::FilterRec object )
• ret: $name (string)
• since: 2.0.00

mod_perl filters have four names, no more no less:

modperl_request_output
modperl_request_input
modperl_connection_output
modperl_connection_input

And the tea is: you can see the names of the non-mod_perl filters too 👀. Just call $filter->next->frec->name and boom, you've got the name of the next filter in the chain. Slay.

Example:

Let's print the name of the current filter and the filter that follows it, because we're thorough like that 💁‍♀️

use Apache2::Filter ();
use Apache2::FilterRec ();
for my $frec ($filter->frec, $filter->next->frec) {
    print "Name: ", $frec->name;
}
