  shocking considering it's supposed to be a premier Linux hosting

  As usual, compiling your own perl and Apache and providing your own

  standardised live applications you can roll out and support.
  
 
  Possibly a bit OT now, but as I'm about to set up another production
  server and was going to use CentOS 5, I'm a bit concerned. Matt
  mentioned fstab and init, but not as far as I can see Perl - in what
way
  is Perl broken on CentOS 5?

 That's because I was bitching about later Ubuntus, not Dead Rat.

 I simply don't consider RH distros a deployment platform you'd choose
unless
 mandated to use them, and prefer to build my own perl if I have to.

 CentOS 5's vendor perl will show a 2* performance hit due to their
inability
 to maintain a perl package.

 Just Don't.

  While I mostly agree with Matt's take on unix/linux issues -- I will
give my support to Cent/RH here.  It is true,  they have had some missteps
with perl in the past.  Those tend get resolved fairly quickly. The perl
speed issue listed above is fixed in current patches. RH/Cent has some very
undeniable advantages over ubuntu/suse/flavor of the day.  Some advantages
likely to make a difference in corporations are tight partnerships with
dell and other server vendors (read tightly coupled hardware support and
updates), tight relationships with commercial software vendors (pick 5
software packages that run on linux from different vendors chances are the
common supported platform will be RH and therefore CentOS). It is also not
uncommon to build your own kit for webserver/perl/mysql etc for production
servers no matter what distro you choose -- and run that in parallel to the
distro's build. It makes sense to control the bits that run your
applications.

  In general,  when it comes to linux distros, my belief is that issues
you have with distros can generally be pinpointed down to the administrator
(myself included).  I have used all of the big 6 Linux distros and found
things I like and dislike about all of them.  They are all acceptable for
hosting perl web apps.

OK, thanks - I'll stick with 6.06 for now.

[Catalyst] DBIC v Cache: What are catalyst best practices for caching DBIC results (with relationships included)

2007-11-14 Thread Ashley Pond V
I'm having trouble getting Plugin::Cache to handle DBIC objects  
correctly. Past instruction, and recent refresher, from MST shows  
that you have to reset/revive the result source and this works for a  
single object but blows up for prefetch.


In this code

my $article = $c-cache-get($id);
if ( $article )
{
$article-result_source($c-model(DB)-source 
(article));

}
else
{
$article = $c-model(DB::article)-find($id)
or die RC_404: no such article;
$c-cache-set($id, $article);
}

No problem. But I really want to save the related object trips to the  
DB too. So, since articles may have comments I want to prefetch them  
as they will be used beneath an article. But then they are missing  
their result_source and resetting it does not seem to work(?). The  
following code produces an error when reloaded after first being cached.


my $article = $c-cache-get($id);
if ( $article )
{
$article-result_source($c-model(DB)-source 
(article));

$_-result_source($c-model(DB)-source(comment))
for $article-comments();
}
else
{
$article = $c-model(DB::article)
-find($id,
   { prefetch = [qw/comments/] }
   )
or die RC_404: no such article;
$c-cache-set($id, $article);
}

Caught exception in MyApp::Controller::Article-article Can't call  
method

+ source on an undefined value at
+ /Library/Perl/5.8.6/DBIx/Class/ResultSourceHandle.pm line
+ 62.

What am I doing wrong? Can this be handled at all (resetting  
result_sources gets ugly fast when you bring in the other involved  
objects like user and document lineage)? What is the best practice  
regarding caching DBIC results in Catalyst?



Thanks!
-Ashley

Why not just use DBIx::Class::Cursor::Cached ?
