Hi all, I'm planning on changing an existing mod_perl application to distribute images across the cluster as they are uploaded rather than using rsync afterwoods.
Currently the code uses the "slurp fh, print to another file" recipe which seems incredibly inefficient. The "correct" way seems to be to use link(), but I can't be sure it will be linked from the same filesystem and it's another unwanted step before I copy to remote servers. Would it be poor form to copy the spooled file at tempname directly to the rest of the cluster using something like Net::CascadeCopy or MogileFS::Client? How much is the Apache::Request API likely to change in a way that break tempname given that 2.x is now mature and stable?
