While I'm programming mod_perl for quite a while now I only recently discovered the wonders of writing my own apache-handlers.
I used CGI.pm in my mod_perl-application to get 'path_info', 'param', print out headers and more. None of this works inside my own handlers any more. I discovered replacements like Apache::Request but I'm now sure if this would work inside a handler. My Questions: - which docs can you recommend that will answer all these questions to me like *why* does CGI.pm not work any more ? Is there any way to make it nevertheless work, so I could easily use my old projects ? What to use instead ? .... Is the O'Reilly about apache-modules what I'm looking for ? I've the small O'reilly about mod_perl but it raises more questions than its answers. - whats the maineffect of a simple ResponseHandler at all compared with a perl-program run under mod_perl ? Is it much faster, cause it handles things more efficiently ? By now I used to use an Alias-Directive in apache to direct certains requests to a single perl-script and use path_info() to detect the "additional arguments". For the use there is no difference at all. thnx, peter -- mag. peter pilsl IT-Consulting tel: +43-699-1-3574035 fax: +43-699-4-3574035 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.goldfisch.at
