I've started the largish task of sync'ing APR with the APR:: classes in mod_perl 2.0. in trying to get comfortable with the code I started with something easy, apr_table_compress.
say you have a table like
[ sail => 'spinnaker',
sail => 'jib',
sail => 'blooper' ]
if you issue $table->compress(APR::OVERLAP_TABLES_SET) the table will be flattened into
[ sail => 'blooper' ]
$table->compress(APR::OVERLAP_TABLES_MERGE) will produce
[ sail => 'spinnaker, jib, blooper' ]
I'm not sure how useful that really is, but it's there in APR so it might as well be exposed.
if you build it, they will come.
