=head1 NAME

ASP4::TransHandler - PerlTransHandler with access to ASP4::Config

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package My::TransHandler;
  
  use strict;
  use warnings 'all';
  use base 'ASP4::TransHandler';
  use ASP4::ConfigLoader;
  
  sub handler : method {
    my ($class, $r) = @_;
    
    my $super_response = $class->SUPER::handler( $r );
    
    my $config = ASP4::ConfigLoader->load();
    
    # Do stuff...
    calculate_pi_to_the_billionth_decimal_place();
    
    # Finally...
    return $super_response;
  }
  
  1;# return true:

Then, in your httpd.conf:

  <Perl>
    push @INC, '/path/to/your/libs';
  </Perl>

  <VirtualHost *:80>
    ...
    PerlTransHandler My::TransHandler
    ...
  </VirtualHost>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<ASP4::TransHandler> is a utility class that helps module authors take advantage
of the ASP4 configuration without actually doing any of the work.

=head2 RequestFilters vs TransHandlers

The difference between TransHandlers and L<ASP4::RequestFilter>s is that
within a RequestFilter, you have access to all of the normal ASP objects ($Request, $Response, $Session, etc).

In a TransHandler, you only have access to the L<Apache2::RequestRec> C<$r> and the 
L<ASP4::Config> (and only then if you load it up yourself via L<ASP4::ConfigLoader>.

B<NOTE>: - TransHandlers are configured in the C<httpd.conf> and are only executed
in a real Apache2 httpd environment.  They are not executed during testing or via
L<ASP4::API>.

TransHandlers are a handy way of jumping into "normal" mod_perl handler mode without
losing access to your web application's config.
