Hi ppl, I have read the docs on perl.apache.org and I still don't understand certain points. mod_perl seem to encourage handlers for handling dynamic website content. I now know to create an handler to automatically add a header and a footer to any .html called in a certain location. This forces me to go back to httpd.conf and add the handler setup there, and restart Apache so the changes will take effect. What if I need more handlers? What if I need handlers for database transactions, etc? Editing httpd.conf and restarting Apache everytime seems wierd to me. I surely don't understand.
Actually, the only thing I need to do is to add a header/footer to my webpages. I plan on adding dynamic content based on a database soon. Couldn't I handle these details in simple .pl files? (Like having a .pm acting as a library to my website, containing a bunch of well defined functions). I browsed the web for some mod_perl example site (with source code so I can understand how the content is handled) but didn't find anything. Maybe if you explain me how YOU wrote your website, that'd help. I really need explanations about handlers too. The more I read the docs, the more I am confused. Thanks for your suggestions and help in advance, Best regards, Steve Hemond Programmeur Analyste / Analyst Programmer Smurfit-Stone, Ressources Forestieres La Tuque, P.Q.
