This module provides methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache source code. For example:

my $src = Apache::src->new;
my $v = $src->httpd_version;

returns the server version. And:

my $dir = $src->dir;
-d $dir or die "can't stat $dir $!\n";

returns the top level directory where source files are located and then tests whether it can read it.

The main( ) method will return the location of httpd.h:

-e join "/", $src->main, "httpd.h" or die "can't stat httpd.h\n";

Other methods are available from this module.

Supplied with the mod_perl distribution. See the module manpage for more information.
