The memory leaks in HTML::Mason (1.35) have finally annoyed my ISP to the
point that I had to promise them I would upgrade to Mason2. That said, I'm
really having a hard time juggling all the moving parts that seem to be
documented as having been changed in the new version.
I looked through most of the archive and couldn't find what I needed.
I'm hoping that in getting my own questions answered we can all then have a
suitable migration document. I will outline the individual pieces that
construct my Mason 1.35 website and then ask what about each piece needs to
change.
/* httpd.conf */
PerlModule /path/to/HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
PerlSetVar MasonDataDir /var/www/mason
PerlSetVar MasonCompRoot /var/www/html
<LocationMatch "/.*\.html$">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
</LocationMatch>
Is there a one-to-one translation in httpd.conf for the above directives?
In the autohandler, I use HTML::Mason to create sessions as follows.
/* autohandler */
<%init>
{ package HTML::Mason::Commands;
use vars qw(%session);
use CGI::Cookie;
use Apache::DBI;
use Apache::Session::DBI;
use Apache::Session::MySQL;
}
# Get the incoming cookies
my %cookies = parse CGI::Cookie($r->headers_in->{Cookie});
# Try to re-establish an existing session
eval {
tie %HTML::Mason::Commands::session, 'Apache::Session::MySQL',
($cookies{$cookie_name} ? $cookies{$cookie_name}->value() : undef),
{
Handle => $dbh,
LockHandle => $dbh
}
;
};
...
</%init>
Is the <%init> block still used the same way? Could I just change
HTML::Mason to Mason2.12 and everything work wrt sessions?
/* general component calls */
$m -> call_next(dbh => $dbh)
I saw a note to use Moose inner, but without elaboration. How do I
translate this?
$m -> comp('/path/to/component.mas:methodname');
Does this change at all in Mason 2?
<& /path/to/component.mas, dbh=>$dbh &>
Does this change at all in Mason 2?
Just to confirm, $ARGS{name} is now $.args->{name} ?
"<%args> and <%shared> are gone. Use Moose attributes instead." What does
this mean practically? What would
<%args>
$dbh
</%args>
look like in Moose?
Thanks for everything. I have loved using Mason to build my site which is
for a animal rescue organization. The dogs and I thank you!
