My application-from-hell is doing odd things probably related to the
above storms and culminating in a perfect storm.
Can anyone point me to resources outlining the best way to use the
combination in the subject line?
There seems to be many ways of accomplishing specifics but very little
generic methodologies which can be adapted.
What I'm trying to do is in a nutshell:
##########
my $object_with_DBH = new My::DataObject;
... do stuff...
if ($pid = fork) {
... parent things ...
} elsif (defined $pid) {
... close STDhandles ...
my $data = $object_with_DBH->SQL('do SQL stuff with old connection');
exec 'things from $data';
CORE::exit(0);
}
##########
I've tried Stas' code but that's for MP1, and with $DBI->clone(), and
playing with "setsid" from POSIX and on... There seems to be no love
between mod_perl2, fork, and DBI.
On a side, but possibly related note, my browser is sending a POST
request which results in the FORK above and the parent then sends a 302
redirect with some status variables. This works fine, except between
the POST and the 302 GET is another POST to the same URI which results
in a 500 error, here's the log:
"POST /tosh/mailfile.pl HTTP/1.1" 302 282
"POST /tosh/mailfile.pl HTTP/1.1" 500 424
"GET /tosh/index.pl?message=Notice%20sent HTTP/1.1" 200 4309
The browser only seems to see the middle one, the 500. I'm certain this
is related to my poor forking above but I have no idea why. Are there
any tools for Firefox that will let me track every connection it's
making and why?
Thanks again for any help with my Frankenstein monster...
