There's a rather good document about character set encoding at http://www.physics.gla.ac.uk/r2h-extras/rtfunicode.html and some useful background stuff at http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/charset/ Flavell has done a lot of good work on browser response too, if you browse around those sites you'll find there's a table there somewhere which shows how many different browser versions respond to what I'd call `funny characters'. See also 'man unicode', 'man utf-8' (even 'man latin-1') on Linux. 73, Ged. (And what's all this \342\230\273 stuff? Looks funny in Pine...:)
Module list in draft "mod_perl Pocket Reference" needs checking
I am just finishing off the "mod_perl Pocket Reference" for O'Reilly. It should go to production later the month and hopefully be in the shops in the Autumn. One section of the book contains a list of the mod_perl-specific modules on CPAN (including those in the mod_perl distribution, which of course is itself on CPAN). This section could do with checking -- it covers about 150 modules, runs to 13 pages and gives a bit more of a description of each of the modules than the Apache/Perl module list. I have written summaries of each of the modules based on the documentation in the modules, my own use of the modules and from reading the code, however I cannot claim that I have done justice to every single module I found. If you wrote one of the Apache/Perl modules on CPAN, or have a favourite module, you might like to look through the chapter and see if the description I have given could be improved on. The draft chapter is available as a PDF file from: http://www.refcards.com/download/drafts/modules.pdf I will be very grateful for any comments, corrections and suggestions. The cut-off date for making changes is Friday, 15 September.

New to Apache and need help!
Hi All
Can Anyone here help me out?I'm trying to use the rewrite mod and have
run into a problem.I've added the rewritecond and rules into my config
file and it works if I use www in my url but will not work without it.I'd
rather it worked the opposite way but will settle for both if that's the
best I can do.The conditions I added are as follows:
Rewritelog logs/rewrite.log
RewritelogLevel 9
RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{HTTP_HOST}} !^$
RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{HTTP_HOST}} !^www\.myserver.com$
RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{HTTP_HOST}} ^(www\.)([^.]+)\.myserver\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.+) ${lowercase:%{HTTP_HOST}}$1 [C]
RewriteRule ^(www\.)([^.]+)\.myserver\.com(.*) /users/$2$3 [L]
RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{HTTP_HOST}} ^(www\.)[^.]+\.[^.]+\.myserver\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.+) ${lowercase:%{HTTP_HOST}}$1 [C]
RewriteRule ^(www\.)([^.]+)\.([^.]+)\.myserver\.com(.*) /users/$3/$2$4 [L]
Do I need to change anything here or am I missing something?Also If it
makes a difference I'm running apache on win2k.
Thanks for any and all help...

Dynamic Directory Protection - An authorization related question.
Hi: I am trying to implement a database driven solution for a small university website (300+ users) and quite happy with Authentication and Authorization packages provided by mod_perl. However, there doesn't seems to be a solution to dynamically protect a directory without restarting Apache. What I will like to do: Store the URI need to be protected in the database with the permitted Groups. What I have done: Using and DBI in httpd.conf, and query the database for the directory information every time Apache starts. Problem: For Authentication and Group Authorization, changes in the database will be reflected without restarting Apache. Not so for the URI part of it. I have thought about restarting Apache from time to time, but thinking there must be a "lazier" way with performance consideration. Thanks for any comments or tips. Simon Wei
[ANNOUNCE] First AxKit live sites
I know this isn't the usual form of [ANNOUNCE] messages, and axkit-users subscribers will have already seen this, but I just wanted people to see a real live site built on AxKit... PDA Verticals Corp have just finished building 4 sites dedicated to vertical markets using PDA's. Owen Stenseth went out on a limb to try out AxKit for these sites, and he's been following development and doing his own custom patches as things went along. This weekend they launched the following 4 sites, and I'm posting the links here so that people can see real sites that AxKit is being used for: http://www.pdamd.com http://www.pdare.com http://www.pdajd.com http://www.pdafn.com -- Fastnet Software Ltd.

To which HTML::Template responds: "Sure you know Perl, but does the HTML designer you're working with?" HTML::Template has a simple, HTML-esque syntax for its template files that is aimed at HTML designers. Keep the Perl in your modules and keep the HTML in your template files. Go the other direction and soon enough you've got your programmers changing font colors. You can put that in your sheet and, er... smoke it? -sam
StatINC Question
Regards all, I've installed mod_perl and latest version of apache. Everything seems to be working fine. I have set StatINC as the PerlInitHandler in my httpd.conf so as to stat() file and libraries which are are dependencies of scripts handled by the modperl handler. In addition, I have a startup file which is run early on in my .conf to add another lib to the @inc (or is it %INC?) variable so StatINC will check in the necessary directories. Here is my problem: StatINC seems to work fine several times after I restart the server but then at some point begins to act funky. I'll reload a page and either/or a source file will get reloaded every time (despite it's time not changing) or i'll get different versions of the page popping up (versions which existed in previous revision of my source file). Its from looking at my error_log that different httpd child processes are catching the different browser requests and reloading the source files. It is extremely frustrating to say the least as I can't understand what the problem really is. Logic would dictate that if a httpd child process received a request to handle a mod-perl-script that StatINC would tell the server to hold up for a second while it recompiles these modules and then let it go on it's way. It's almost as if each child process maintains it's own seperate cached version of the modperl-covered scripts. Is this the case? Does anyone have any ideas?

Place the allowed directories in the encrypted key. In the auth- session key portion you can check all kinds of things like the allowed path, session expiration, specific files you want disallowed in various directories, etc...
Re: Dynamic Directory Protection - An authorization related question.
Thanks guys! (Michael Hanisch, Michael Robinton, Jonathan Leto) I think the session key idea will work for me, just hoping there are a generic solution out there. This is a typical problem why people turn to LDAP, but LDAP is just so horrible to administer. Regards, Simon Wei > > > Hi: > ReHi > > > packages provided by mod_perl.

Executing slower and slower
Hi My perl_mod script that uses SQL Postgres Database works slower by 5% each time it is executed. After 20th invocation of the script it works 2 times slower. It is very simple script that uses Apache::DBI, it connects to the database, retrieves some data and disconnects. Could you explain it to me? I looked for the solution to my problem but I couldn't find the answer. Mark

Each child has its own copy of the compiled module. When you initially start the server, if your modules are pre-loaded, initially this memory will be copy-on-write shared across each child (i.e. only one area of memory used and shared between the children), but when you reload them using something like StatINC, that sharing disappears. You could try PerlFreshRestart and issue a graceful restart if this isn't the type of reload you want. -- Fastnet Software Ltd.
