I'm a newbie to Apache and mod_perl, so my apologies if this question is directed at the wrong audience. (Pointers and other list recommendations also welcome).
I'm running Apache 1.3.29 and mod_perl 1.29 on an intel based PC running RH9 with kernel 2.6.2.
I'm trying to chain handlers to create a page with a "border" that's dynamically generated by the handler before loading the original URI in a "frame" in the centre of the page.
The essence of my "Stuff" package is therefore:
package Apache::Stuff ;
sub handler
{
:
:
for $handler (\&do_header, \&do_content, \&do_footer) {
$r->push_handlers(PerlHandler => $Handler);
} ;OK; }
sub do_header
{
# Do header stuff
return OK;
}sub do_footer
{
# Do footer stuff;
return OK;
}The problem I have is in defining the do_content subroutine/reference. Basically, the handler should use the Apache configs/mime-types to determine content and either parse it as a CGI script or simply return the HTML. How do I call such a handler from this do_content subroutine? Is the return an HTML string that I can simply print.... ? Or, does the handler produce the HTML simply by being referenced and simply return the appropriate Apache status? Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely?
Once again, my apologies if this question is not appropriate for the list, but any redirection/advice is welcome.
TIA
Rob
