I want to always output two versions of select story types, where the second is required. Basically, I don't want to go through the process of assigning the output channel to the thousands of existing stories, nor do I want users to have the ability to unassign this particular one.
I don’t think that’s possible, given the current API, without a lot of nasty hackery.

That method has been in HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler::Request since the beginning of time (I see a reference to it in Mason's changes from 2002). However, if you're using bric_queued, the templates do not run inside Apache, so it wouldn't be available.

No.

No.

Yeah, it’s good to have Mason up-to-date. No known issues.

Because it’s designed to be called from the app running inside mod_perl, as you’re finding.
