Hi,
I'm trying to share a var between the different processes of my prefork
Apache.
I then tried the following idea :
$r->server()->dir_config('var','val');
Unfortunately, $r->server()->dir_config('var') is not shared among the
processes.
I would have thought config was stored at the very first Apache process
(the parent) level.
Other solution is IPC::Shareable (one more module to load :-/)
Any other solution ?
I would have been happy with an Apache-only way to do this (like I tried
above).
I need the var to be set only one time to a constant random value, then to
be read by the different processes.
I then also thought about an environment variable set when Apache starts,
and then given to Perl using "PerlSetVar var ${VAR}".
But 1. var value would be disclosed into Apache env which I want to avoid,
2. PerlSetVar at every request is perhaps not really perfect in terms of
performance.
Thank you very much for your help !
Ben
