NAME
       Apache::Status - Embedded interpreter status information

SYNOPSIS
        
        SetHandler  perl-script
        PerlHandler Apache::Status
        

DESCRIPTION
       The AAppaacchhee::::SSttaattuuss module provides some information about the status of
       the Perl interpreter embedded in the server.

       Configure like so:

        
        SetHandler  perl-script
        PerlHandler Apache::Status
        

       Other modules can "plugin" a menu item like so:

        Apache::Status->menuitem(
           'DBI' => "DBI connections", #item for Apache::DBI module
           sub {
               my($r,$q) = @; #request and CGI objects
               my(@strings);
               push @strings,  "blobs of html";
               return \@strings;     #return an array ref
           }
        ) if Apache->module("Apache::Status"); #only if Apache::Status is loaded

       WWAARRNNIINNGG: Apache::Status must be loaded before these modules via the
       PerlModule or PerlRequire directives.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       StatusOptionsAll
           This single directive will enable all of the options described
           below.

            PerlSetVar StatusOptionsAll On

       StatusDumper
           When browsing symbol tables, the values of arrays, hashes ans
           calars can be viewed via DDaattaa::::DDuummppeerr if this configuration vari-
           able is set to On:

            PerlSetVar StatusDumper On

       StatusPeek
           With this option On and the AAppaacchhee::::PPeeeekk module installed, func-
           tions and variables can be viewed ala DDeevveell::::PPeeeekk style:

            PerlSetVar StatusPeek On

       StatusLexInfo
           With this option On and the BB::::LLeexxIInnffoo module installed, subroutine
           lexical variable information can be viewed.

            PerlSetVar StatusLexInfo On

       StatusDeparse
           With this option On and BB::::DDeeppaarrssee version 0.59 or higher (included
           in Perl 5.00559+), subroutines can be "deparsed".

            PerlSetVar StatusDeparse On

           Options can be passed to B::Deparse::new like so:

            PerlSetVar StatusDeparseOptions "-p -sC"

           See the BB::::DDeeppaarrssee manpage for details.

       StatusTerse
           With this option On, text-based op tree graphs of subroutines can
           be displayed, thanks to BB::::TTeerrssee.

            PerlSetVar StatusTerse On

       StatusTerseSize
           With this option On and the BB::::TTeerrsseeSSiizzee module installed, text-
           based op tree graphs of subroutines and their size can be dis-
           played.  See the BB::::TTeerrsseeSSiizzee docs for more info.

            PerlSetVar StatusTerseSize On

       StatusTerseSizeMainSummary
           With this option On and the BB::::TTeerrsseeSSiizzee module installed, a "Mem-
           ory Usage" will be added to the Apache::Status main menu.  This
           option is disabled by default, as it can be rather cpu intensive to
           summarize memory usage for the entire server.  It is strongly sug-
           gested that this option only be used with a development server run-
           ning in -XX mode, as the results will be cached.

            PerlSetVar StatusTerseSizeMainSummary On

       StatusGraph
           When SSttaattuussDDuummppeerr is enabled, another link "OP Tree Graph" will be
           present with the dump if this configuration variable is set to On:

            PerlSetVar StatusGraph

           This requires the B module (part of the Perl compiler kit) and
           B::Graph (version 0.03 or higher) module to be installed along with
           the ddoott program.

           Dot is part of the graph visualization toolkit from AT&T:
           "http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/").

           WWAARRNNIINNGG: Some graphs may produce very large images, some graphs may
           produce no image if B::Graph's output is incorrect.

       Dot Location of the dot program for StatusGraph, if other than /usr/bin
           or /usr/local/bin

       GraphDir
           Directory where StatusGraph should write it's temporary image
           files.  Default is $ServerRoot/logs/bgraphs

PPRREERREEQQUUIISSIITTEESS
       The Devel::Symdump module, version 22..0000 or higher.
