Well, we may have confusion over terminology. I interpreted "ordinary cgi program" as mod_cgi (i.e. a separate process forked to handle each request). Under this, Apache::DBI is utterly useless. If you see a pool of connections, you're talking mod_perl. > > i was under the impression the original question was 'do i need to write > handlers in mod_perl to take advantage of the apache::* modules'. If by "ordinary cgi program" you mean scripts being handled by Apache::Registry (which is a mod_perl handler), then yes, Apache::DBI would work. But yes, there needs to be a mod_perl handler for this to work (even if you don't write the actual handler). This likely works with Apache::PerlRun as well, although I don't really use that so I can't say for sure. The difference between mod_cgi and mod_perl is one uses the SetHandler cgi-script directive while the other uses SetHandler perl-script and PerlHandler directives.

No it is not a must, it depends on the module. Apache::Session, e.g., even doesn't need Apache ;-) -- felix -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
apache::*, simple question.
hi guys, is it a must to use mod_perl to access all/some apache::* modules?, i mean, if i run normal perl and cgi scripts, i won't be able to access apache modules? thanks -- Hytham Shehab -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
