Hi Gerald, Sorry for a late reply , no make test did not worked correctly, it did tested the modperl part and gave error like an error on line 21.

RE: Printing for debugging
Thanks! Using the Apache2::RequestUtil and Apache2::Log, I can find out what
my variables' values are to debug and check my code.

I'm not entirely sure where, in those lines of unindented HTML, you're
trying to perform your logging. The only thing I could find quickly was
the following code, but I can't be certain that's the subject of your
question.
if( $arp_session->{ErrorNum} ){ print "Got $arp_session->{ErrorStr} for
$router\n"; }
In order to print log messages to Apache's (or your virtual host's)
error log, you can use the following.
use Apache2::RequestUtil;
use Apache2::Log;
Apache2::RequestUtil->request->log->error('some_text');
Substituting other log levels (debug, info, warn, etc.) works, as well.
See the following URL for more information.
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/Log.html#LogLevel_Methods
If this isn't what you're seeking, perhaps you could include a more
concise test case and a more elaborate explanation in your next post?

There are two ways of achieving your task: - active: forcing all the apache processes to update their list of aircraft - passive: having each apache child check on whether the copy of the list they already have is still up to date By far the simplest way of achieving the first option is by having the parent load and cache the list (which means that memory is shared by all the child processes) and restarting your apache processes when the list changes. For the passive route, each apache child has to perform some kind of check to see whether their version is up to date. This requires some kind of check somewhere, eg: - checking the last modified time of a file - loading the list from a cache - loading the list from the database Your intention is to reduce the number of database hits. That's fine, but it needs to be weighed against the cost of inflexibility, or the cost of checking and rebuilding the cache. For data that almost never changes, I would go the active route. For data that changes more regularly, but has a certain time-to-live, I would go the caching route. For data that changes by the second, get it directly from the DB. So searching for 'cache' on CPAN, indeed gives you a number of very useful modules that ease your path to reducing the number of DB hits that you have. My personal favourite is Cache::Memcached, but that's only relevant if you have more than one web server. If not, the file based caches are the fastest (or you could try looking at SQLite or Cache::BerkleyDB or even a memory table in MySQL, but on a different DB server) regards Clint > > Thanks. > > Colin >

I would prefer to retrieve the list of aircraft when each Perl interpreter starts and then not retrieve it again until the administrator sends a signal. For this particular table, the signal would only occur when new aircraft hit the market, like the Boeing 787 will (hopefully) in December of this year. Essentially what you want is an in-memory cache of a possibly slow database query. There are several modules on CPAN that do this; search for "cache". I'm not sure what you're suggesting. The first few pages of "cache" on CPAN have some modules for caching data in memory and on disk and so forth, but I don't see how they relate to my problem.

Printing for debugging
I have my code pasted below. My module, loaded with directive in
Apache2, works well. However, sometimes switches don't respond correctly to
bulk queries of fdbPorts object. What I want to do is to be able print the
value of my variables either to the browser or a log file. A regular print
statement does not work for this. The relevant variables are in a subroutine
called from my sub handler.
Thanks in advance.

Re: loading Apache2::ServerRec
Using the debian-stable-provided version of mod_perl, I've got an app that's working fine however the way it was configured meant we were causing an early load of perl during the configuration phase of apache. Just curious -- why are you trying to avoid loading perl during this phase? Faster restarts in our development environment. perl gets loaded twice, once to test the config then again to actually start. From my observations apache even does this if you run apachectl stop! We don't need the additional test in config as any problems will appear in the error log and the devs can check there. Carl
AP2.2.7 + MP2.0.3 on Win32
Hi all, Just want to slap a quick note that I've tried the following combo on Win32 platform (Windows 2003 Server x86): Apache 2.2.7 from ApacheLounge (apachelounge.com) modperl 2.0.3 from theoryx5 (ppd) libapreq 2.6.2 from theoryx5 (ppd) Perl 5.8.8 (ActivePerl build 822) The only thing I'm interested (the rest I take for granted) is that it survives a restart from the ApacheMonitor app. Had painful issues with past versions, so this is always my priority. I know Linuxians take it for granted...
