It's normal because perl (mod_perl as a part) is not freeing memory at cleanup phase of request serving.

There are no other handlers besides my own (content and auth) and the core

Also, I'd think that every reload of a page (that get's served by the same
Apache child) should execute the same code and handlers with the same

not. I press Reload, Reload, Reload... and get the result as below...

Hi,
I just ran into a problem with $r-register_cleanup() only sometime beeing

This is mod_perl 1.24_01, perl 5.6.0, apache 1.3.14 compiled with gcc 5.6.0 on

Here's a sample code (snippet):
sub handler { # PerlTransHandler
my $r = shift;
$r-register_cleanup(\clean1);
$r-push_handlers(PerlCleanupHandler = \clean2);
$r-pnotes('cleanup', bless {} );
print STDERR 'in ";
return DECLINE;
}
sub clean1 { print STDERR "register_cleanup "; }
sub clean2 { print STDERR "push_handlers "; }
sub DESTROY { print STDERR "DESTROY\n"; }
And that's the error_log:

Last week I asked... On Thu, Feb 01, 2001 at 01:51:56PM +, Tim Bunce wrote: Can anyone recommend extra gcc options to squeeze the last ounce of performance out of code (perl and apache in this case) on Intel? I don't mind tying the code down to one cpu type or loosing the ability to debug etc. We're already doing -O6 and are looking for more. I recall Malcom Beattie (CC'd, Hi Malcolm!) experimenting in this area, something about not wasting a register for the frame pointer. I'm using gcc 2.95.2, is that the latest/best? It's on FreeBSD 4.1 and 4.2. I've appended a summary (with some additional notes after my reading of the GCC 2.95.2 docs in square brackets). Many thanks to all who contributed. I'm off to play with these options now. I'll report back later. Tim. From: Greg Cope [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've used this, but have had a few unresolved segfaults on buzy machines: -O6 -mcpu=pentium -march=pentium -fomit-frame-pointer [-march=pentium implies -mcpu=pentium] From: Owen Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] I saw these on a site somewhere for compiling the linux kernel: -mcpu=pentiumpro -mpentium -ffast-math -O5 -fthread-jumps [-mpentium is deprecated synonym for -mcpu=pentium. -O enables -fthread-jumps] Use them on anything that is pentiumpro and above. I get a good speed increase. From: Vivek Khera [EMAIL PROTECTED] There were some important compiler fixes in FreeBSD 4.x that went in early in January. If you can, I'd recommend updating to the latest 4.2-STABLE version for the most stable compiler environment. Most important if you're compiling threaded apps in C++ (eg, MySQL). Personally, I use these options with good effect: -O2 -pipe -march=i586 -ffast-math -mfancy-math-387 Anything beyond that is bound to tickle gcc bugs. From: Steve Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] I recall Malcom Beattie (CC'd, Hi Malcolm!) experimenting in this area, something about not wasting a register for the frame pointer. That particular option would be gcc -fomit-frame-pointer. You might try -ffast-math -fexpensive-optimizations (never played with the latter, though, and it's probably on with -O6 anyway). If you really want to go crazy, you could try -fbranch-probabilities (requires more than just turning it on; read the gcc man page.) I doubt it's worth the trouble. And you'd probably want -march=i686 (or whatever CPU you're using). I don't know the state of pentium-specific optimizations, but does Cygnus's Code Fusion still have a gcc with Pentium-specific optimizations that aren't in the main tree? I just remember the numbers saying that they'd slightly overtaken Intel's compiler, but that was a year and a half ago. From: nick [EMAIL PROTECTED] And you'd probably want -march=i686 (or whatever CPU you're using). Not necessarily. gcc and ia32 is weird that way. I would use whatever Linus co. decided to use for the kernel on that arch in question. From: James W Walden [EMAIL PROTECTED] I use '-march=i686 -mcpu=i686' to improve performance with gcc. The percentage improvement varies greatly between applications but is often around 10%. If you're willing to use a commercial compiler instead of gcc, I get a 20-40% improvement with Intel's proton C compiler (which I think is only available commercially for Windows so far) over gcc and have found other commercial compilers to produce similar gains. From: Mark Mielke [EMAIL PROTECTED] Try the pgcc patch. I don't even think -O6 does anything for gcc 2.95.x, although my memory is faint. I think it only goes to -O3. To re-order the instructions for a pentium: gcc -O3 -mpentium -march=pentium ... If you apply the pgcc patch, it will actually use the new instructions available only on the pentium, and not on the 386/486, where desirable. From: "Redford, John" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why for me is that -O3 (and presumably -O6) performs optimizations that are "unsafe". I have had critical bugs caused by compiling Perl with -O3, (which used to be habitual). Now I only use -O2. (Or possibly the optimizations were simply buggy in GCC; definitely this was with GCC of years long ago, I haven't tried to push my luck again).

how do i do both? if i use my redirect code, and
add an extra header_out , the cookie is not sent (because i have not called

If i add send_http_header, i see the full sent

I believe you want to use 'err_header_out' rather than 'header_out' if
you're returning a status other than OK.

Using Filter Module under mod_perl
Hi, I'm having trouble trying to use the Filter module under mod_perl. The attached script + module correctly outputs "Goodbye, world." under Apache/CGI, but says "Hello, world." under Apache/mod_perl (with Apache::Registry), i.e. the filter is not being applied. I looked into this once before, but got nowhere with it. Doug MacEachern had a *very* quick look last time and suggested maybe: "... the filter mechanism is tied into the perl_parse() and/or perl_run() functions, which are only called once by the perl (command line) binary, and only once by mod_perl. So it could be the case that Apache::Registry is simply too late in the game to use Perl filters." I e-mailed the module's author (Paul Marquess) recently. He is not familiar with the internals of mod_perl (neither am I), but he said: "If mod_perl calls perl_parse, I'm not sure why the filters aren't working. The filters hooks all live in yylex, which get called indirectly by perl_parse." Is there anyone familiar with both Filter and mod_perl who could shed any more light on what's going on here? Thanks, Steve Hay Hello2Goodbye.pm filtertest.pl

-domain = 'baz.com',

Re: Send a cookie, AND a redirect ?
The problem is that Apache does not put the "Set-Cookie" before the
"Location" when generating headers. To fix this, you need to build
the header yourself. I've found that this works with Netscape and
IE, but with IE, the place where you redirect to does not have access
to the cookie that you just set. All subsequent pages are able to
read the cookie... It's a bug in IE.
my $cookie = Apache::Cookie-new($r,
-name = "MYCOOKIE",
-value = "VALUE",
-path = "/some/cookie/path"
);
my %headers = (
"Location" = "/some/redirect/location",
"Set-Cookie" = $cookie-as_string
);
my $header = "Status: 302 Moved\n";
for my $h (qw(Set-Cookie Location)) {
$header .= $h.": ".$headers{$h}."\n";
}
$header .= "\n";
$r-send_cgi_header($header);
return(REDIRECT);
I think this might also only work for local redirects. I think I
tried a remote redirect once and had it not work... I not certain of
that.

$r-content_type('text/html');
$r-header_out('Location'=$the_url);
return REDIRECT;
BUT!
how do i do both? if i use my redirect code, and add an extra
header_out , the cookie is not sent (because i have not called
send_http_header ? ).
If i add send_http_header, i see the full sent http_header in my browser.
My idea was to have something like
$r-content_type('text/html');
$r-header_out('Location'=$the_url);
$r-header_out('Set-Cookie' =$cookie);
$r-send_http_header;
return REDIRECT;
Which does not work.
Thinking about it whilst typing this email, does header_out have a
field where i can set the REDIRECT status?
Thanks in advance,
Richard Harrison.

[RESEND] seg fault with Apache::URI ... weird
Hi all,
No response on this so here it is again, any clues appreciated:
I am encountering a weird problem with Apache::URI ... consider, please,
this test handler:
package WM::Test;
use strict;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $uri = Apache::URI-parse($r, $r-uri);
$uri-hostname($r-get_server_name);
$uri-port($r-get_server_port);
print $uri-unparse;
}
1;
__END__
As written, this causes a seg fault every time. Commenting out _either_
the $uri-hostname assignment _or_ the $uri-port assignment solves the
problem, or even changing the call to one or other of the methods from an
assignment to a read. But when both methods are assigned new values, seg
fault.
This code has worked fine for two years or more on my FreeBSD boxes; this
is on Linux RedHat 7 ... dunno if that makes a difference.

Debug perl package in Apache
Hi,
I build an Apache with Mod_Perl under DSO in Solaris. Apache seems works
fine. But
I now have a problem when AuthenNISPlus.pm get called and was not be able to
get password table(I think).
I have the following setting in httpd.conf
Location /web
AuthName "[Web for Unix Users]"
AuthType Basic
PerlSetVar NISPlus_Passwd_Table passwd.org_dir
PerlSetVar NISPlus_Group_Table group.org_dir
PerlSetVar NISPlus_DEBUG 1
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenNISPlus
require group devusers sysadmin
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from all
/Location
But AuthenNISPlus.pm exited with "Not an ARRAY reference at line 58
look at this program from line 57 are
foreach ($pwd_table-list()){
if(@{$_}[0] eq $name){
$pwd = @{$_}[1];
$group = @{$_}[3];
last;
Any body has any ideals? Also How can I debug an perl package under this
environment?
Appreciated for any help
Thanks,

(And there are other protocols like FTP that are supposed to work, although I haven't tried them.) OpenInteract doesn't seem to have an equivalent. Zope provides its own file-based database and indexer, while OpenInteract expects you to use an external database of some kind. OpenInteract has pretty solid-looking documentation. The Zope docs are a disaster, although a forthcoming book may improve that situation. Some of Zope's most interesting ideas - like Z Classes, a way to define object types at runtime through a web interface - seem cumbersome to work with or have odd restrictions. OpenInteract has no equivalent that I could see. In short, Zope wants to be more, but currently is difficult to figure out. That could be just my Perl experience, but I understood more of OpenInteract in half an hour than I did with Zope after several tries over the last few years. - Perrin

Re: Redirection Location MUST be absolute (was Re: Send a cookie, AND a redirect ?)
That's what the RFC says... But that's not the way that a browser handles it. I don't know why browsers don't support the "standards," but that's not exactly the topic.

The problem is that the browser still thinks it got "/foo/bar/fred.html", so if an internal redirect was performed to "/abc/def/ghi.html" and it had a relative link to "../xyz.html", the browser will fetch "/foo/xyz.html", not to the correct "/abc/xyz.html", since the browser had no visibility to the /abc part of that equation.

mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key
Hi, all. I've been trying to add a couple of modules to my Apache, and just can't seem to get it to do it's thing. Forgive me if I tell you too much, but I'm just trying to be thorough. STEP 1: === perl Makefile.PL USE_APACI=1 USE_DSO=0 EVERYTHING=1 \ DO_HTTPD=1 SSL_BASE=/usr/local/ssl \ APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.12/src\ APACI_ARGS=--enable-module=ssl,--enable-module=auth_dbm,--enable-modul e=info,--enable-module=rewrite,--enable-module=usertrack This runs smoothly. STEP 2: make This, too, runs smoothly. == STEP 3: make test Here's the problem. It runs fine till t/TEST tries to spawn a server and hit it. The server fails at init because it can't generate a temporary 512 bit RSA private key. I've moved to the apache directory and run "make certificate" before the "make test", but it doesn't help.

Re: Sessions on win 32
I have used apache::session on windows with great success. I downloaded the modules pre-built along with the modperl DSO from : ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/ They seem to work well. I even installed on top of OpenSA ( www.opensa.org ) and obtained SSL features. I did have to do some oddities to get Session::DBI working properly but it did work in the end. I installed this on top of the latest ActivePerl with no problems. HTML::Mason worked like a champ as well. I believe this is all available in the archives linked to from perl.apache.org. Yes, the perl community does ask its users to sometimes be a bit more 'independent' but its nothing to get testy about. Some of us on the list are actually really really really busy and like to wait it out and see if someone else will pop in with an answer.

Re: Redirection Location MUST be absolute (was Re: Send a cookie,AND a redirect ?)
We only use absolute URLs /images/some.gif. When dealing with apache, it's often neccesary to see the previous requests environment (error pages, etc.) so that you can show that information to the user and email it to the webmaster. That's only possible with an internal redirect. As in ErrorDocument 503 /error.pl Using a full path there causes you to lose all of that valuable information that was stored in the Environment.

I nearly sent an enquiry then I remembered that I was on the because of something I read on the list so I thought I'd post here. I guess you could count that as one :) The open source + consultancy model is tricky, and I think that the devil's in the details. My company's been providing mostly open source solutions (the "mostly" is because over time we've developped stuff that hasn't been released, but will be as I progressively un-ad hoc it) for four years and we're doing well. In those four years it happened a few times that some customers decided that it would be a better investment for them if they employed their own techs to build upon what we'd made for them instead of turning to us for that but we've found that to be a marginal case, and even then those customers still turn to us for the bits they don't think their techs can handle as well. It's a different model (we customize and integrate more than we actually produce) but it bears a relationship. We certainly never felt we had to try to encrypt the code we provided to our customers or to documentation-starve them in order to force them to stay with us. I think there's a line between support and consultancy that can make a difference. If the product you supply is very end-user orientated then you'll need to supply more support than consultancy, and that will cost you a lot in customer service if you want to do it in a way that will satisfy your consumers. Support can be sold only for so much, so you'll need to be sure that your product will be used by many people for it to be profitable. That angle only works imho for very generic and widespread tools (eg linux). For those products, either giving up the idea of making money from the project entirely or going shareware and assimilated is probably best. If on the other it is a less used product that will more likely be bought by IT departments instead of simple end users, then consulting + open source works imho. The way to see it I think is that open source has a value which IT people will try to gauge against the value (in terms of money) at which another closed source project in the same sector is selling. If you try to go commercial in such areas, you'll have basically two levels of pricing. The first one is more or less as high as the big players in your field, in which case you'll need to have all the sales and marketing and advertising people to go with it. Possible, but it's a bet and it would take some serious VC. Or target the lower end pricing. In that case you'll have to deal with the fact that people instictively think cheaper = lesser, which is always a problem. And where people think beyond that (which is rare) you'll face the buy this commercial software and that's it vs use this open source software and invest the money in some consulting conundrum, the outcome of which at that price level is often to go for the latter (in my experience). If you're not going to go the big CMS player route straight away, then I think Open Source + consulting is a more viable model than pure commercial (ie it'll be more successful and make more money). I've talked for longer than I expected. This brings up something I've been thinking of for some time. I've been wondering a while if some sort of "modperl for professionals" (very bad name, I know) list would be of interest to the community. I know that most people on the list that use modperl are "professionals" (hence the fact that it is a bad name) but some of us use it internally (to produce a project that is a company project) while others sell modperl based solutions to others (creating the dynamic backend for someone else's project). That latter group could have things to share that are not technical and not just advocacy (or are too specific for it). Maybe I'm not the only one wondering which is the best way to sell a modperl solution based 100% on open source stuff to a company. On the other hand, yet another mailing list might not be the solution. -- robin b. Forty two.

That could be just my Perl experience, but I understood more of OpenInteract in half an hour than I did with Zope after several tries over the last few years. Of course that may have a lot to do with your background. Zope isn't a tech tool like what we have coming out for mod_perl at the moment - its a much higher level. This is both good and bad, of course. Personally I think CMS' are very important, but then I would: http://axkit.com/products/axkit-cms/ :-) Zope has a very cool concept behind it, an object oriented web, where every resource behind every URL is an instantiation of a class. Every URL resource is both content and active component. The idea is that there is intelligence behind each piece of content, particular to that piece of content. A PDF object is not just a PDF file, it's also an interface to index the PDF, provide a summary of itself to an RSS file producer for example. Folders in the path to a piece of content can affect that content, so a particular piece of content can take on a different character depending upon where it is placed. It's more than just a CMS system, it's object orientation as applied to web resources. Whereas in OpenInteract, every piece of content is managed by a central component and one of its methods. Like /BasicPage/edit?id=2345. This is more like a procedural model than Zope's OO model. I'm still digging into OpenInteract, having just installed it a few nights ago. Still don't have much else to say about OI, though it looks pretty neato keen. Anyway, as for the complexity of Zope: If I understand the architecture correctly, is that Zope is the combination of what used to be three separate systems. I know one was persistence, the other was an ORB exposing object methods to web calls, not sure of the third. Maybe the templating system? But to me, it seems that they've been joined together in a Frankenstein kinda way. I mean you see things like "bobobase_modification_time" as the standard object property, and a jumble of other non-intuitively named properties, API calls. Not to mention that the DTML language doesn't resemble any other templating language I've seen, nor does it seem to have an easily graspable rhyme or reason for things. And, one of my pet peeves, they're trying to make it "XML compliant". Which to me means that it's looking more and more like the HTML I'm templating, and that's bad. I would like my template language to look distinct enough from what I'm templating, like Template Toolkit's [% %] default construct. So add on top of that a sparse patch of docs, and it's hard to wrap one's brain around. Now, if only I could get back to un-mothballing Iaijutsu/Iaido and do Zope the right way under perl... :) -- Leslie Michael Orchard [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ Home: 492905 / ICQ Work: 11082089

Well, everyone who has worked on OpenInteract would certainly be flattered by such a comparison. I think a lot of people have been inspired (and even made a little jealous) by Zope and the attention its drawn to Python. Competition is a healthy thing. :-) To be honest, I don't know as much about Zope as I probably should. However, after tooling around with it for a bit there were a number of lessons I've drawn. * Make it easy to develop custom modules. Like Zope, OpenInteract makes it pretty simple to write a self-contained module that implements some functionality, package it all up and send it to someone else to install on their server. * Make installation easy. Zope has an easier time of this because it's more self-contained, but it's extremely important for people to install the server without going through painful contortions. My experience with many other software packages has been this -- if I can get something running quickly, it's worth my while to look into it further. * Be consistent. In Zope, everything is (or is supposed to be) an object. We try to do the same thing. This makes certain tasks (like object/task security or relating entirely disparate things) possible and even pretty easy. Once you've got the mindset it also opens up interesting possibilities :-) * Even awkward browser-based tools can work. Using TEXTAREA boxes to create templates and pages is clunky but amazingly handy. And for most people it's all they need. People who know what they're doing can import templates to the database in their sleep, but don't design everything around them. I'm sure there are more similiarities and differences.

[phil@fifi.org: Bug#85328: New method $req-allowed() for libapache-mod-perl]
[please maintain the CC's]
I just received the following bug report on the Debian bug tracking
system. The patch seems to apply to 1.25; is it a good idea?

Package: libapache-mod-perl
Version: 1.21.2309-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Here is enclosed a patch to libapache-mod-perl to expose a missing
feature of the Apache API. This feature is needed to answer correctly
to HTTP 1.1 requests.
The patch is pretty much trivial and self-explanatory.
Although it was done on the libapache-mod-perl from potato, it applies
(with some offset) to the woody package.
Please send upstream too...
Phil.

RE: Newbie question to mod_perl and Apache::DBI
Hi everybody, I have just removed RaiseError = 1, AutoCommit = 0 out of my DBI-connect. No more errors, ORA works! Next, I will recompile mod_perl with PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS = 1. Will come up with the result today. Thanks a lot, everybody! Caro -- -- Caroline Kliegl Neustadt - Germany Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
