Apache2::ASP::TransHandler is

The difference between TransHandlers and Apache2::ASP::RequestFilters 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 Apache2::RequestRec $r and the Apache2::ASP::Config (and only then if you load it up yourself via Apache2::ASP::ConfigLoader.

NOTE: - TransHandlers are configured in the httpd.conf and are only executed in a real Apache2 httpd environment. They are not executed during testing or via Apache2::ASP::API.

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

It's possible that some bugs have found their way into this release.
