# APR(3pm)

Perl Interface for Apache Portable Runtime (libapr and libaprutil Libraries)

## NAME

APR - Perl Interface for Apache Portable Runtime (libapr and libaprutil Libraries)

## Synopsis

```
  use APR ();
```

## Description

On load this modules prepares the APR environment (initializes memory pools, data structures, etc.)

You don't need to use this module explicitly, since it's already loaded internally by all `"APR::*"` modules.

## Using APR modules outside mod\_perl 2.0

You'd use the `"APR::*"` modules outside mod\_perl 2.0, just like you'd use it with mod\_perl 2.0. For example to get a random unique string you could call:

```
  % perl -MAPR::UUID -le 'print APR::UUID->new->format'
```
