You are correct. I interviewed the sysadmin that called me for help with this building mod_perl, and he fessed up to FTP'ing into CPAN and just grabbing the "latest version" - i.e. the 5.53_95 tarball. He didn't use CPAN.pm after all. I couldn't get CPAN.pm to fetch the dev tarball either. I just figured he was too new to Perl and Solaris (a former MCSE) to grab a tarball and install. Turns out, he was too new. He just didn't know about CPAN.pm! Anyway, I missed your (Cliff's) one-line patch to LWP::UserAgent.pm and thought it was the more extensive earlier patch. My vote is for Cliff's patch to just 'use URI::URL;' in LWP::UserAgent.pm. If you don't feel like patching, remember to export PERL_HTTP_URI_CLASS=URI::URL instead.

Then you shouldn't be having the missing URI::URL problem in mod_perl. Or has the "real" 5.53 been fubar'd since April or so, and nobody noticed until now?

ANNOUNCEMENT: HTML::Template::Expr 0.01
CHANGES First Release! DESCRIPTION This module provides an extension to HTML::Template which allows expressions in the template syntax. This is purely an addition - all the normal HTML::Template options, syntax and behaviors will still work. Expression support includes comparisons, math operations, string operations and a mechanism to allow you add your own functions at runtime. AVAILABILITY This module is available on SourceForge. Download it at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/html-template/HTML-Template-Expr-0.01.tar.gz The module is also available on CPAN. You can get it using CPAN.pm or go to: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SA/SAMTREGAR/ CONTACT INFO You can join the HTML::Template mailing-list by sending a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ANNOUNCEMENT: HTML::Template 2.4
HTML::Template - a Perl module to use HTML Templates CHANGES 2.4 - Bug Fix: case_sensitive option broke loops (Peter Leonard) - Bug Fix: code-ref params now work with IF and UNLESS DESCRIPTION This module attempts make using HTML templates simple and natural. It extends standard HTML with a few new HTML-esque tags - , , , , and . The file written with HTML and these new tags is called a template. It is usually saved separate from your script - possibly even created by someone else! Using this module you fill in the values for the variables, loops and branches declared in the template. This allows you to seperate design - the HTML - from the data, which you generate in the Perl script. A Japanese translation of the documentation is available at: http://member.nifty.ne.jp/hippo2000/perltips/html/template.htm This module is licenced under the GPL. See the LICENCE section of the README. AVAILABILITY This module is available on SourceForge. Download it at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/html-template/HTML-Template-2.4.tar.gz The module is also available on CPAN. You can get it using CPAN.pm or go to: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SA/SAMTREGAR/ MOTIVATION It is true that there are a number of packages out there to do HTML templates. On the one hand you have things like HTML::Embperl which allows you to freely mix Perl with HTML. On the other hand lie home-grown variable substitution solutions. Hopefully the module can find a place between the two. One advantage of this module over a full HTML::Embperl-esque solution is that it enforces an important divide - design and programming. By limiting the programmer to just using simple variables and loops in the HTML, the template remains accessible to designers and other non-perl people. The use of HTML-esque syntax goes further to make the format understandable to others. In the future this similarity could be used to extend existing HTML editors/analyzers to support this syntax. An advantage of this module over home-grown tag-replacement schemes is the support for loops. In my work I am often called on to produce tables of data in html. Producing them using simplistic HTML templates results in CGIs containing lots of HTML since the HTML itself could not represent loops. The introduction of loop statements in the HTML simplifies this situation considerably. The designer can layout a single row and the programmer can fill it in as many times as necessary - all they must agree on is the parameter names. For all that, I think the best thing about this module is that it does just one thing and it does it quickly and carefully. It doesn't try to replace Perl and HTML, it just augments them to interact a little better. And it's pretty fast. DOCUMENTATION The documentation is in Template.pm in the form of POD format perldocs. Even the above text might be out of date, so be sure to check the perldocs for the straight truth. CONTACT INFO This module was written by Sam Tregar ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for Vanguard Media (http://www.vm.com).

Perl & Javascript Q
Hi,
I am creating a perl script that creates an HTML
document. And then on the javascript side, it calls
the script thru . The idea is for users
to copy and paste this one line of javascript into
there index page and "Yeah" an html page loads. But
right now it prints out nothing. At the end of my
perl script is "print document.writeln(' html doc here
');"; . I don't know what I missing to get this to
work.A couple of newsfeeds use this idea to
deliver news headlines in partner sites.I am
trying
to do the same thing, but with a customized html page.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks so much,
LT

Well, when I say "only gets compiled once" I mean once per child process. You can control how many requests each child handles before it biffs (thus forcing the parent to spawn a new child who will recompile the code) in the httpd.conf file. - nick

I've noticed on my version of MSIE that it does not handle PDFs in any form
without an Accept-Ranges header. I tried looking for bug reports, but I
couldn't find any, so I figured it was just me...

try
$r->headers_out->set("Content-Disposition" =>
"inline; filename=$filename");
really, for the If-Modified-Since header and byteserving in general you
ought to use the supplied mod_perl methods $r->meets_conditions and
$r->set_byterange/each_byterange...
try something like this instead for static files...
# set the the headers
$r->headers_out->set('Accept-Ranges' => 'bytes');
$r->headers_out->set("Content-Disposition" =>
"inline; filename=$filename");
$r->set_content_length(-s $r->finfo);
# set the MIME type based on the document extension
$r->content_type(MIME::Types::by_suffix($filename)->[0]);
# determine if the request is a range request
my $range_request = $r->set_byterange;
# yea or nea
if ((my $status = $r->meets_conditions) == OK) {
$r->send_http_header;
}
else {
return $status;
}
# handle a range request properly
if ($range_request) {
while( my($offset, $length) = $r->each_byterange) {
seek $fh, $offset, 0;
$r->send_fd($fh, $length);
}

open downloaded file
hi list
i've a handler which controlls access to dowonloadable files. The proble i
have is now, that IE (project designed only for this browser) prints one or
twoo times the same "File download"-window where you can choose between
open or save if you choose open. If you choose save all is going well.
i had to force a download, because of some pdf-problems (on some systems,
the acrobat reader-plugin doesn't print the content - in the server-logs
was all ok.) so that's why there's 'application/octet-stream' and
"Content-Disposition" => "attachment;"
Perhaps this could be an ie-problem, but since I've to solve it with
mod_perl i thougt that one of you could know a solution ...
if (exists($requestvars{'If-Modified-Since'}))
{
if (&changed)
{
$r->content_type($contenttypes{$datype});
if ($contenttypes{$datype} eq 'application/octet-stream')
{
$r->header_out("Content-Disposition" =>
"attachment;");
};
$r->status(HTTP_NOT_MODIFIED);
$r->send_http_header();
return OK;
};
};
$r->content_type($contenttypes{$datype});
$r->update_mtime($data[0]);
$r->set_last_modified();
if ($contenttypes{$datype} eq 'application/octet-stream')
{
$r->header_out("Content-Disposition" => "attachment;");
};
$r->send_http_header();
return OK if $r->header_only;
$r->send_fd($file);
return OK;
.
.
.
any ideas ? what I'm doing wrong?

mod_perl memory consumption
BlankI wrote a program that converts 5 gigs of emails stored in mysql to
phisical messages on disk (resulting in approximately 10 gigs). The program
consumes way to much memory although I've wrote it in a very clean way (use
strict, no globals, use of udef $var; to help free memory). I start it
telneting to :80 and through time process takes from 15 megs to more than
100 megs and only about 20% of messages are converted so far. The program
uses vpopmail.pm and should run approximately one day. Maybe it would be
faster if I used Apache::FakeRequest or something similar eleminating use of
mod_perl (plain cgi) ? I'm using HTML::Mason.
Why is the memory consumption so high ? According to my calculations it
should take less than 100 kilobytes.
Regards,
Mire
