work::mod_perl-2.0.8::docs::api::Apache2::FilterRec(3)

NAME
Apache2::FilterRec - Perl API for manipulating the Apache filter record

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

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

Description
"Apache2::FilterRec" provides an access to the filter record structure.

The "Apache2::FilterRec" object is retrieved by calling "frec()":

  $frec = $filter->frec;

API
"Apache2::FilterRec" provides the following functions and/or methods:

  "name"
The registered name for this filter

  $name = $frec->name();

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

mod_perl filters have four names:

  modperl_request_output
  modperl_request_input
  modperl_connection_output
  modperl_connection_input

You can see the names of the non-mod_perl filters as well. By calling "$filter->next->frec->name" you can get the name of the next filter in the chain.

Example:

Let's print the name of the current and the filter that follows it:

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