location not working

My perl.conf contains: (according to page 31 of SM) (Note: I have changed less-than to [ so that html-style mail and newreaders will show the symbol.)

NEVERTHELESS, I get 404 when I enter http://myserver//hello/world and it is looking in the htdocs directory according to the error_log. httpd -l shows we are running with mod_perl.c, and putting a syntax error in startup.pl confirms that we are reading that file. All the directory are rwx and the files are all readable. What am I doing wrong?

Apache::Registry newbie question -- CGI state
I am trying to implement Example 2-14 in Stein and MacEachern.
Here's my code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# file: hello.cgi
use CGI qw(:standard);
use strict;
my $name = param('name') || 'Anonymous';
print header(),start_html(-title='Yo!', -bgcolor='yellow'),
h1("Hello $name"),
p( "To change your name, enter it into the text field below and press",
em("change name.") ),
start_form(),
"Name: ",
textfield(-name='name', -value='Anonymous'),
submit(-value='Change Name'),
end_form(),
hr(),
end_html();
It works once -- BUT -- the value entered after the first appearance with
'Anonymous',
sticks and never changes
despite submitting the form again and again.
I thought that each invocation via CGI would change the value of param('name')?
I understand the code has been compiled once and is now running thru
Apache::Registry.
Nevertheless, shouldn't new param() values be visable?

Apache::DBI and deleting temporary tables (Sybase ASE)
Hi, I have read http://perl.apache.org/guide/debug.html#Handling_the_User_pressed_Stop_ but still don't know the best solution for my problem: I would like to port a bigger CGI-script to mod_perl. This script uses DBD::Sybase and creates few temporary tables (#temp1, #temp2) which are filled with some data, manipulated and finally read out with a join. These temporary tables are deleted automatically when the database connection is closed. However if I move from DBI to Apache::DBI, the connection won't be closed and the temporary tables will stay. So what is the best way to handle it? I could add drop table #temp1 drop table #temp2 to the SQL statements of my script, but what happens if the user presses STOP or the script times out? Should I move this SQL-code to $r-register_cleanup()? Isn't it too much for this handler and will it always be executed? Or is it possible to use transactions/$dbh-commit somehow? Also offtopic question: is it possible in Transact-SQL to check if a table #temp1 exists already? Regards Alex

$ENV{"ORACLE_HOME"} = "/db/";
this should be done from a BEGIN block, exported globally in /etc/profile,

It may be in your local .profile, but apache usually runs as user nobody...
###Print out some HTML###
print HTML_1;

html head titlePh Lookup/title /head body bgcolor=white

this may be a typo, but HTML_1 has to be the at the start of the line - no

if you are using a recent version of DBD::Oracle on linux and see an error
that has to do with libclntsh.so check out

building perl, Apache, mod_perl (on NT) with mod_perl built into Apache
I am looking for a jump start building perl, Apache, mod_perl (on NT) with mod_perl built into Apache. My task is to find out how to build the latest versions perl 5.6.0, Apache 1.3.14 and mod_perl 1.24_01. I have down loaded the sources from www.perl.com, www.apache.org and perl.apache.org. (Master Source distribution - Release http://perl.apache.org/dist) I realize that NT is not yet a supported platform but we need to support it (dam customers). The binaries available are not the most recent. We want to be able to stay current and run the same version on all platforms we support. All seemed to go well until mod_perl. I run the makefile.pl with EVERYTHING=1 APACHE_PREFIX=c:/apache. makefiles are generated but, those makefile do not produce apache or mod_perl. If I build mod_perl by using the ApacheModulePerl.dsp (with some tweeking) I do get a DLL that appears to load, at least there are no errors reported, But what I want is to build mod_perl into Apache. OK hear it comes, HELP I am new to Apache, perl web development. My first experience with this environment was last November. I have been unable to find any information so far searching the web sites, books or the mailing lists. Can any one point me to the resources I will need to work through this? What are the issues in building mod_perl into apache for the NT platform? What is the benefit of building mod_perl into Apache as opposed to using a DLL? Obviously it is possible to do this if Jeffrey Baker can produce a binary distribution for NT. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Regards John Poirier

Re: Apache::DBI problem and writting a perl module!!!
I faced the same problem and had posted similar email
but I found an workaround that is there in the posting.
I get following error when i do
perl -e 'use Apache::Status;use Apache::DBI'
Can't locate object method "module" via package "Apache" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Apache/DBI.pm
line 202.
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
the problem is when preparing menu_item for Apache::Status method
module is
not found under Apache,
do i have to install some other Apache module?
anyway i commented out the if part and made it work like
Apache::Status->menu_item(
'DBI' => 'DBI connections',
sub {
my($r,
$q) = @_;
my(@s)
= qw(TABLE>TR>TD>Datasource/TD>TD>Username/TD>/TR>);
for (keys
%Connected) {
push @s, 'TR>TD>', join('/TD>TD>', (split($;, $_))[0,1]),
"/TD>/TR>\n";
}
push @s,
'/TABLE>';
return
\@s;
}
);
# ) if ($INC{'Apache.pm'} and Apache->module('Apache::Status'));
is it correct ?
why shouldn't it load without any modifications ?

Apache::Status problems?..CGI::Cookie, (dont want no CGI.pm) (?)
While trying to do what the mod_perl guide reccomends as a performance increaser (not loading CGI.pm, and using mod_perl's functions as replacements for what CGI.pm does and doing PerlSetupEnv Off).. I realized that CGI.pm was being loaded even if I had no pre loaded modules.. All I had setup was Apache::Status perl handler for a Location So, i looked at the code a little bit, and realized Apache::Status was loading CGI.pm.. it does a check to see if Apache::Request is loaded or can load and uses it if it can, and if it can't, it resorts to CGI.pm.. The catch? There is no Apache::Request module..at least that I could find..in my 24 and 24_01 installs.. Instead, I replaced the require Apache::Request with Apache, and where it tried to get a handle, I made it Apache-request() and it seemed to work.. Another thing I noticed... CGI::Cookie was loading CGI.pm for three functions, unescape, escape and another I didn't look at... in reality, unescape and escape reside in a module called CGI::Util, which CGI.pm uses (in newer versions of CGI.pm) wouldn't it be more efficient to load CGI::Util.pm which is 5k, instead of CGI.pm which is 205k in newer versions..? Modifying all the above resulted in Apache::Status no longer saying CGI.pm was loaded.. --

Sure, but I don't think that would help me do what I want.
Let me illustrate:

process (just once)
3. X children are created
4. children are born, they die, yadda yadda. The END block is run
whenever a child dies.
5. the server is told to shut down
6. the first server to start (the one running as root or whatever) sends
signals to the children telling them to shutdown. END blocks run in all
children.
7. the first server shuts down - I'd like to run something here because
it should only be happening to during a 'final' shutdown and only after
the children have finished serving their last requests.
Perhaps you could send a USR1 prior to your TERM signal and have your
END blocks perform your shutdown tasks if they see the USR1 signal.
But then you have the problem of new children being started due to the
USR1
not to mention it would preclude using USR1 for doing normal graceful
restarts, 8^)
Hrm, would be nice if $r-server had a method to tell you if apache is
in the process of shutting down or not.

Too many connections with DBI
HI,
I'm using a AuthAny handler to authenticate for every script. Today
for the first time the production server was put thru it's paces. I had
about 80 users at the same time. Checking the apache error log
there were a lot of
DBI-connect failed: Too many connections at
/systems/humakpro/lib/library.pm line 213
I have 10 different databases. Would I solve this problem if I started
using persistent connections? I've installed ApacheDBI on a test
server but I can't produce the same load or can I ?
I'm also using a Apache::AuthAny.pm to authenticate for each script.
Those 80 users used today about 14000 scripts in 5 hours but each
script has many queries sent to the database. The database handle
is opened at the beginning and closed at the end of each script.
The handle is passed to a function in library.pm and from there it is
closed. Is this wrong to do? Like wise the handle is opened from
within a function.
i.e. I have
sub footer {
# display a standard footer etc etc
if ($_[0] != 1 $_[0] ne ""){
$_[0]-disconnect ;
}
}
It really peaked at 14:38:41 and then in the error_log
Ouch! malloc failed in malloc_block()

My task is to find out how to build the latest versions perl 5.6.0, Apache 1.3.14 and mod_perl 1.24_01. I have down loaded the sources from www.perl.com, www.apache.org and perl.apache.org. (Master Source distribution - Release http://perl.apache.org/dist) I realize that NT is not yet a supported platform but we need to support it (dam customers). The binaries available are not the most recent. We want to be able to stay current and run the same version on all platforms we support. Hi, There are some other binaries, including ActivePerl ppm packages, listed at http://perl.apache.org/distributions.html. All seemed to go well until mod_perl. I run the makefile.pl with EVERYTHING=1 APACHE_PREFIX=c:/apache. makefiles are generated but, those makefile do not produce apache or mod_perl. The procedure for building on Win32 is different than that for Unix - see INSTALL.win32 in the mod_perl sources for details. Starting with the current cvs mod_perl version (1.24_02), there's support for building everything from the command line on Win32; see again INSTALL.win32 for details. If I build mod_perl by using the ApacheModulePerl.dsp (with some tweeking) I do get a DLL that appears to load, at least there are no errors reported, But what I want is to build mod_perl into Apache. OK hear it comes, HELP I am new to Apache, perl web development. My first experience with this environment was last November. I have been unable to find any information so far searching the web sites, books or the mailing lists. Can any one point me to the resources I will need to work through this? What are the issues in building mod_perl into apache for the NT platform? What is the benefit of building mod_perl into Apache as opposed to using a DLL? All the apache modules use dlls for Win32, not just mod_perl ... Obviously it is possible to do this if Jeffrey Baker can produce a binary distribution for NT. A mod_perl binary distribution would contain the relevant mod_perl modules for perl, plus the dll which you would copy into an appropriate $APACHE/modules/ directory, where the other apache modules are kept. best regards, randy kobes

The nasty error is from the test scripts, not from the compilation of Apache. You've already compiled Apache at this stage. 'make test' is an optional suite of tests. src.t is written in Perl. The suite of tests *should* pass and I would recommend you find out why they don't but you *could* just ignore the failed tests and see if your server works by configuring it and asking it for a document... So, if someone could point me to the a URL that gives me the basics on understanding this required paradigm shift into "C", I don't think you need to go there yet. Lots of Apache users don't program in C. It's easier to understand what's going on while you're building if you do, but most users don't build Apache very often. 73, Ged.

it has nothing to do with this. You cannot test Apache modules from the

please read the documentation -- you have to load the Apache::Status

anyway i commented out the if part and made it work like
Apache::Status-menu_item(
'DBI' = 'DBI connections',
sub {
my($r, $q) = @_;
my(@s) =
qw(TABLETRTDDatasource/TDTDUsername/TD/TR);

push @s, 'TRTD', join('/TDTD', (split($;,
$_))[0,1]), "/TD/TR\n";
}
push @s, '/TABLE';
return \@s;
}
);
# ) if ($INC{'Apache.pm'} and Apache-module('Apache::Status'));
is it correct ?
why shouldn't it load without any modifications ?

Re: Edmund Mergl
Good to see you alive, well, and still coding Perl. Months ago, about the time of the Perl conference so it may have slipped under everyone's radar, Jeff Horn from U of Wisconsin sent you some patches to Apache::DBI to use Oracle 8's re-authenticate function instead of creating and caching a separate Oracle connection for each user. Did you decide whether to incorporate them or to suggest another module name for him to use? I wasn't able to participate in the discussion at the time, but I now have need for that functionality. I don't know if Jeff Horn is still around, but I'll track him down if necessary and offer to work on it. Also, I sent you a small patch to fix Apache::DBI warnings under Perl5.6. I hate to be a pest, but I'm rolling out software where the installation procedure requires the user to fetch Perl from Active State and Apache::DBI from CPAN. I'd rather not ship my own version of yours or any CPAN module. Thanks, John [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Most year-end bonuses should be paid by the end of this month, while many were already paid out EOY 2000. Since the US stock market is in decline, many people assume their EOY 2001 bonuses will pale in comparison to 2000's. What better time to look for greener pastures.

Register an END block in your startup.pl, and have it check it's PID to
see if it's the parent.
It doesn't work. I've tested:
startup.pl:

package Cleanup;
$Cleanup::parent_pid = $$;

Re: ticketsystem [OT]
Yes, it is true. Internet Explorer stores username and password values passed through the Basic Auth dialog as well as anything entered into text fields or text boxes. Netscape 6 also incorporates these same "features." I am not certain *where* these values are stored or how they are stored. I would like to know ... It should be noted that the user has an opportunity to prevent the web browser from storing these values, but it has been my experience that most people find it convenient to have the browser remember usernames/passwords. Although users should certainly be educated as to the dangers of allowing a dumb web browser to remember passwords to Ameritrade accounts and on-line banks, I think the real problem is that too many sites require registration with usernames/passwords. Until personal digital ids and retinal scanners are at all workstations, I think username/passwords security on the web will always have user-introduced holes :-).

Apache::DBI keeps re-connecting!
Hi, when using Apache::DBI, it keeps re-connecting even though the database and user is the same: I am using ApacheDBI-0.87, DBD-Oracle-1.06, DBI-1.14, perl5.6.0 on an 8.1.5 Oracle database (perl -v -V further below) My httpd.conf is setup as: PerlModule Apache::DBI Apache Apache::Registry Apache::XPP CGI PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload PerlSetVar ReloadAll Off PerlSetVar XPPIncludeDir /opt/www/icl/htdocs/include PerlSendHeader On I have an XPP perl script which uses one of my own perl modules to connect to a database. This works fine and I was able to both Connect Disconnect as expected before using Apache::DBI When calling the XPP script multiple times using Apache::DBI (using the same username password) as you can see, it connects twice - leaving an oracle process running for each connection. 447 Apache::DBI push PerlCleanupHandler 447 Apache::DBI need ping: yes 447 Apache::DBI new connect to 'PVCS NMPR_RPT NMPR_RPT PrintError=0 RaiseError=0 AutoCommit=0' 447 Apache::DBI disconnect (overloaded) 447 Apache::DBI PerlCleanupHandler 447 Apache::DBI PerlCleanupHandler rollback for PVCS NMPR_RPT NMPR_RPT PrintError=0 RaiseError=0 AutoCommit=0 450 Apache::DBI push PerlCleanupHandler 450 Apache::DBI need ping: yes 450 Apache::DBI new connect to 'PVCS NMPR_RPT NMPR_RPT PrintError=0 RaiseError=0 AutoCommit=0' 450 Apache::DBI disconnect (overloaded) 450 Apache::DBI PerlCleanupHandler 450 Apache::DBI PerlCleanupHandler rollback for PVCS NMPR_RPT NMPR_RPT PrintError=0 RaiseError=0 AutoCommit=0 450 Apache::DBI disconnect (overloaded) 450 Apache::DBI push PerlCleanupHandler 450 Apache::DBI need ping: yes 450 Apache::DBI already connected to 'PVCS NMPR_RPT NMPR_RPT PrintError=0 RaiseError=0 AutoCommit=0' 450 Apache::DBI disconnect (overloaded) 450 Apache::DBI PerlCleanupHandler 450 Apache::DBI PerlCleanupHandler rollback for PVCS NMPR_RPT NMPR_RPT PrintError=0 RaiseError=0 AutoCommit=0 Would you happen to have any idea as to why this might be happening? I have read/searched around everywhere but cant find any reason for this. What I have just noticed is that the reconnect works fine providing I access the script with the same url.

Everything works fine for about 1/2 an hour and then we start getting the
message below. We used to get an error that Oracle home was not found, so
we
hard-coded it in and now we just get the message below.
was the ORACLE_HOME an error or just a warning? if your oratab is
set up properly it shouldn't need ORACLE_HOME once the instance is
found.
Does anyone have any suggestions? If our code produces an oracle error,
does
that corrupt the mod_perl process and therefore give any future users who
connect to that particular process the error below?
perl version 5.6.0
Oracle 8.1.5
mod_perl 1.21
apache 1.3.12
i have a similar setup (5.6.0, 8.1.6, 1.21_1, 1.3.14) w/o any
problems IFF tnslsnr is set up properly and started. otherwise
there is chaos.
connecting via:
my @dbinfo =
qw(
dbi:Oracle:host=somehost;sid=foo
username
password
);
my $dbh = DBI-connect( @dbinfo ) or croak "Roadkill: $!";
the ORA-12154 gives me a freudian feeling that your tnslsnr is
not set up properly.
quick check:
. oraenv
lsnrctl;
stop
start
should tell you about stopping and starting properly. if it doesn't
then fix this before worrying about DBD::Oracle (or dump oracle for
a database that isn't living hell to set up).
note: i've just had to go through this in order to set up a demo
for one of our clients. i can haul my system in on monday and
we can go over the setup steps if anyone else is interested in this.

Months ago, about the time of the Perl conference so it may have slipped under everyone's radar, Jeff Horn from U of Wisconsin sent you some patches to Apache::DBI to use Oracle 8's re-authenticate function instead of creating and caching a separate Oracle connection for each user. Did you decide whether to incorporate them or to suggest another module name for him to use? I wasn't able to participate in the discussion at the time, but I now have need for that functionality. I don't know if Jeff Horn is still around, but I'll track him down if necessary and offer to work on it. Also, I sent you a small patch to fix Apache::DBI warnings under Perl5.6.

[JOB] : Perl Developer at EFI
Hi All, This talk of jobs etc etc has reminded me that I need another person to fill out my team here at Electronics For Imaging( http://www.efi.com/ ). EFI is a big player in the high end print solutions business and has a major presence and history. Its a big company that does its best to act like a start-up. Our group is being treated as an internal start-up and, as such, is allowed to select our own technologies etc etc. Our project is not another e-commerce bla engine, its not another content management system, its not another portal or 'vortal'. Its an honest to goodness service that will ( hopefully ) revolutionize how we deal with the printed document. Ok, so revolutionize is a big word, maybe we won't. However, its an opportunity to develop modperl apps in a fairly high profile environment with a lot of creative and technical freedom. What we are using : Currently its ModPerl running on Linux using HTML::Mason on the front-end. What we need : People who understand ( mod- )perl and have a track record of at least one successful, somewhat complex, project. Any experience or skills in integrating random technologies is always a plus in my book. Was your project high traffic? Thats another bonus. Anyone who has done any financial software ( from ERP style solutions to integration solutions to simple Authorize.net stuff ) would come in super handy. Where we are : We have offices in Foster City, CA( just south of San Francisco ), Minneapolis MN ( near the Great Mall ) , New Jersey and Tokyo. Drop me some email if you might be interested. We can chat more about the opportunity. John-

Apache::ASP compiling extensions
Hey,
I am considering long belated compile time extensions
that would allow at least partial handling of other languages
formats like Cold Fusion, XSP, Embperl, ... a developer would
be able to rewrite a template at compile time into ASP.
Here's what I have in mind:
PerlSetVar TagParseMatch ^xsp:
## for XSP conversion of xsp:logic.../xsp:logic
# global.asa
sub Script_OnTagParse {
my($tag, $begin, $args) = @_;
if($tag eq 'xsp:logic') {
my $replace = $begin ? '%' : '%';
} ...
}
PerlSetVar TokenParseMatch [+,+],[*,*]
## for Embperl conversion of [* *] type constructs
# global.asa
sub Script_OnTokenParse {
my $token = shift;
if($token eq '[*') {
'%';
} elsif($token eq '*]') {
'%';
} ...
}
The results would then be inserted into the parse stream
for ASP before other language parsing is done.
Once compiled, there would be no extra overhead to
running the code, unlike with XMLSubsMatch. XMLSubsMatch
will continue to be the only way to handle the text
contained within a tag like tag text /tag.
So what do you think? Will anyone use this?
-- Josh
Re: Apache::ASP compiling extensions
If what you are saying is that current EmbPerl code would be able to run
almost unchanged under ASP that would be very interesting, but presently
my biggest issues with Apache::ASP are:
- Doesn't "help" with any HTML.
- QueryString and Form from the Response are separate, this makes a
programming headache if you are used to Embperl or if you are not sure
what type of input is coming in for some reason.
Shouldn't they just be the same information?
Is there a need to keep them separate?
Why don't other modules do it that way if there is?
- Slow processing time, on the Hello World test it is one of the slower
ones. EmbPerl 2.0 is supposed to be even faster then the present
version.
- Poor error reporting. This seems to be possibly a resurfaced bug, but
when use strict is turned on ( not the global one, but on a per page
level ) when testing a page for compliance it gives no intelligent error
message as to where the problem might be. I see in the docs where this
has been addressed (fixed) before.
- No automatic variable clean up. I think EmbPerl runs each page as its
own package to keep things "clean" is that possible under Apache::ASP?
- No auto form fillin. I know this has been discussed, I have even made
crude code that allows it.
To be fair I better list some of what I like:
- Script_OnStart and Stop: This makes it easy to build headers and
footers for even complex applications.
- Built in Session handling
- Only one type of tag to remember ( % ), well ok two if you count %=
There are others, but those are the main ones I can think of off the top
of my head.
I think making it do its job better and faster is more important then
trying to allow for other delimiters IMHO.

foggy mind needs help
I have the following test case.
test.plx invoked from a web page via apache modperl
test.plx
require CodedModule;
CodedModule::handler(some args);
CodedModule
eval([my contents which are])
package CodedModule;
sub handler { blah.
}
# end of contents
1;
using httpd -X
the first time through everything works fine,
the handler function does it's duty, etc...
second invocation of test.plx fails with a server error that says
that CodedModule::handler can not be found.
Why is this? modperl should have loaded the contents of the package
and added it to the run object. It clearly has marked the module as
loaded, but now can not find the contents that were added to the
package space via the eval when the second call occurs.
What did I miss??

I'm pretty sure the parent runs END blocks. I just didn't want to have
the cleanup code run during child shutdown.
What I've done for now is this hack:
use vars qw($PID);
BEGIN
{
$PID = $$;
}
END
{
if ($$ == $PID )
{
# do cleanup
}
}
The only issue with that is what happens if the code is used in an
environment where a process starts up, forks a child, and then dies,
allowing the child to continue.
Hmm, I think I'll have to just doc it.
This is all related to clearing up an shared memory segment (and
semaphores) created by IPC::Shareable. Except I realized IPC::Shareable
can do it. Its just that for its boolean options it expects 'yes' or
'no', not 1 or 0. That's freaking brilliant. ARGH!

Re: Apache::DBI problem and writting a perl module!!!
Stas , I do not face the problem anymore and Apache::DBI is loading
without any problem. But i remember of facing problem at one point
of time.
may be with some older version.
Could u please explain me what does Apache->module do and where
is

it has nothing to do with this. You cannot test Apache modules from
the
command line since you aren't running in mod_perl environment.
please read the documentation -- you have to load the Apache::Status
before Apache::DBI.

Re: Apache::ASP compiling extensions
Aaron Johnson wrote:
If what you are saying is that current EmbPerl code would be able to run
almost unchanged under ASP that would be very interesting, but presently
my biggest issues with Apache::ASP are:
- Doesn't "help" with any HTML.
I think I know what you mean, and I'm not sure that's its worth
developing those things, is this a big priority?
Embperl:
table
tr bgcolor="[+ $row % 2?'gray':'white' +]"
td align="center"font size="+1"[+ $multi[$row][$col] +]/font/td
/tr
/table
VS.
ASP:
table
% for my $row (0..$#multi) { %
tr bgcolor="%= $row % 2 ? 'gray' : 'white' %"
% for my $col (0..$#array) { %
td align="center"font size="+1"%= $multi[$row][$col] %/font/td
% } %
/tr
% } %
/table
- QueryString and Form from the Response are separate, this makes a
programming headache if you are used to Embperl or if you are not sure
what type of input is coming in for some reason.
That's the way the API is, I could create a config to merge them,
but its always seemed as easy to
sub Script_OnStart {
$Form = { %{$Request-{Form}}, %{$Request-{QueryString} };
}
does this need a config?
Shouldn't they just be the same information?
Is there a need to keep them separate?
Its the ASP API. I just ported it.
- Slow processing time, on the Hello World test it is one of the slower
ones. EmbPerl 2.0 is supposed to be even faster then the present
version.

Sorry, I can't get it much faster on hello world, Embperl is written
in C, Apache::ASP in perl. But check out the h2000 tests, much more
representative of real world templates, not just startup time.
- Poor error reporting. This seems to be possibly a resurfaced bug, but
when use strict is turned on ( not the global one, but on a per page
level ) when testing a page for compliance it gives no intelligent error
message as to where the problem might be. I see in the docs where this
has been addressed (fixed) before.
I haven't seen this in a while, give me a test script I'll fix it.
- No automatic variable clean up. I think EmbPerl runs each page as its
own package to keep things "clean" is that possible under Apache::ASP?
ASP does have a UniquePackages feature that could possibly make use
of this garbage collection, but then you are not in the same package
as global.asa where you get to init easy to use globals such,
its a trade off.
To do things really cleanly, keep one global hash for per
process data, and then undef it in Script_OnEnd. The rest
should be caught by the UseStrict config.
- No auto form fillin. I know this has been discussed, I have even made
crude code that allows it.
I would like to develop this too. Thanks for your feedback.
So I take it you're not particularly interested in the
compile time feature additions? :)

Re: Too many connections with DBI
Hi,
Why do I see this in the log
13402 Apache::DBI need ping: yes
13402 Apache::DBI new connect to
'my_dbmy_usermy_passwdAutoCommit=1PrintError=1'
when I have in the startup.pl file
Apache::DBI-connect_on_init
("DBI:mysql:my_db",
"my_user",
"my_passwd",
{
PrintError = 1, # warn() on errors
RaiseError = 0, # don't die on error
AutoCommit = 1, # commit executes immediately
}
);
Is it because the child has reached it's maximum life ?
How many connections can you have open from DBI to mysql ?
I have 9 db's with 10 children ~ 90 connections .
All use the same user.
Should I increase the memory from 256 MB to ?
I have read http://perl.apache.org/guide/databases.html

Form Fillin with Apache::ASP
There is an easy way of doing auto form fillin with Apache::ASP using HTML::FillInForm - for details see (credit goes to Paul Lindner) http://search.cpan.org/doc/TJMATHER/HTML-FillInForm-0.07/lib/HTML/FillInForm.pm#Apache_ASP and http://forum.swarthmore.edu/epigone/modperl/malskalko - No auto form fillin.

[RFC] Mysql Failsafe Cluster Project (MyFCP)
Hi , Here the situation : Many of us , are using MYSQL in Web production , and in this case we have many loadbalancing systems (Hardware like Alteon or foundry or software like LVS , and hybrid like BigIP) so we can say that if you want an failsafe and scalable WEB cluster it not a problem any more . But can we say the same about our databases ? Here things are more complicated because even if you use an replication sheme , you cannot say that it is fail safe , because : 1) If the master die : Your updates are in /dev/null 2) If one of slaves die : You have to update your progs to use an other slave 3) If you use an Mod_perl enabled cluster you have to update your scripts and restart your dyns to make the whole thing work (this is only in a very wired setup) So we can safe that it is a real pain in the ass ... The purpose of MyFCP is : 1)Write a set of perl scripts witch allows an automatic master election in case of the master death or slave death . 2)Write an SQL wrapper to allow an mod_perl (or modcgi) cluster acces the database , this wrapper will make the difference between SELECT and UPDATE requests and for the SELECT requests it will send them to the right ACTIVE SLAVE. so ti whill have some hash like this : updates---master # this is for the updates dynperl1---sqlslave1 dynperl2---sqlslave2 dynperl3---sqlslave3 so if the deamon detect than sqlslave1 is dead , he update this list so it becomes : dynperl1---sqlslave2 dynperl2---sqlslave2 dynperl3---sqlslave3 3)Add an backup system Any sugestions are very welcome . Very best CB
