mod_perl 1.21
Apache 1.3.9
Solaris 2.5.1, Linux 6.0
Is this a good or bad idea?
I want to create an inheritable module based on Apache::Request mainly for
uploading files, then create individual PerlHandler modules for individual
page content.
If I do this, will the uploaded files end up increase the memory consumption
of the module, or is all memory freed after the fileupload process?
I was going to use "register_cleanup(\&CGI::_reset_globals)" to clear the
CGI environment but don't know if that frees up the memory. If used, should
the register_cleanup be attached to the original request object ($r =
shift;), or the $apr=Apache::Request->new($r) object?
Should I (How can I) destroy the entire page after each request? Doing so
would lose some of the reason for using mod_perl, I'd like to write these
handlers with all dynamic content (no "real" page source). Some thoughts
for destruction would be to create the Apache::Request::Upload as a blessed
object, then destroy it on page completion - Is this wise or even possible?
Any pointers on how to accomplish this?
TIA, Cliff
