I've seem some discussion out of the corner of my eye here about people complaining about 5.6 and to get so-and-so latest version instead. To someone like me who doesn't really use 5.6 specific features, I just avoid getting 5.6 altogether because of seeing posts like this. Also, is 5.6 really the release that works the most stably with mod_perl 1.25? Or would a variant of 5.005 really be better instead if people complain about 5.6? I just noticed this in the digest and it started me thinking about this. Because if I read the digest as a newbie, I would be taking it to mean that if I want the most stable mod_perl server I would use Perl 5.6 with mod_perl 1.25. I suppose you could draw that conclusion. The information I was including, though, was merely meant to be the status of things as repored by the various bodies. If a newbie went to perl.com looking for the latest stable version of perl, he would be directed to 5.6. there have been lots of reports about 5.6 being broken, but I thought that it was mostly a few broken features of the language rather than blanket incompatibility with mod_perl. I can't recall, really... I think that short of Doug stating which version of perl he wants to endorse with 1.25 we should go with what is the official listing on perl.com. of course, I don't follow p5p as well as I should - if they are pretty much pushing 5.6.1-trial (or whatever) instead of 5.6 then maybe I'll link to that instead. But they ought to propigate that message out to the masses, I would think. --Geoff

/dev/null problems
Hello, From the mod_perl guide: syntax error at /dev/null line 1, near "line arguments:" Execution of /dev/null aborted due to compilation errors. parse: Undefined error: 0 There is a chance that your /dev/null device is broken. Try: % sudo echo /dev/null This is exactly the problem I have been getting when starting Apache mod_perl, however the suggested fix does not work for me. We're on a HPUX 11 machine. Is there another way to solve this problem? As I understand it, if /dev/null is being used as the $0 argument to the handler, perhaps I could somehow explicitly set it to another (empty) file? How would I go about that? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Matt

Prob with configuring CGI.
Hi , Well I have started with CGI, 2 days back. But some aspects makes me confused. I am having Apache server over Redhat linux 6.2. I put my .cgi files in proper directory configured in access.conf, to, /home/httpd/cgi-bin Group access set in httpd.conf is none. Access rights set to 755 to all .cgi files. If I execute perl -cw something.cgi, It gives message as Syntax OK. If I execute perl something.cgi over command prompt, the scipt gets executed. Now problem is some of these scripts when called thr' browser gets executed, but others wont. Those scripts which cannot be executed successfully over browser, gives error message as, "Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request." And the funniest part is, those which called thr' browser, gives error, can execute over command prompt successfully. Also there is no Qn of wrong URL. Because some of other CGIs execute properly, which are in the same directory, as these are. I can show you this script for a CGI, which cannot be executed over browser, #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; print "htmlheadtitleTest Page/title/head"; print "bodyh2Hello World/h2/body"; print "/html\n"; But the same code with different .cgi filename, in the same directory executes. Both are having same access rights.

It almost seems to me, like ASP is half working, half not.
Keep in mind these are just the example scripts that come with the package.
And, as far as I know, everything was installed 100% correctly from the CPAN
sources.
Any Ideas?

RE: Getting a Cache::SharedMemoryCache started
Thanks for the pointers, unfortunately I've got a problem with the Shared cache in that I need IPC::ShareLite, no problem, except it won't test ok, I get: PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux -I/usr/lib/perl5 test.pl 1..8 ok 1 ok 2 IPC::ShareLite store() error: Identifier removed at test.pl line 33 It took me forever, but I finally figured out HOW to deal w/ share memory! As in, what is the status, what can I change, how can I make garbage go away? On Linux (and Solaris, probably others) there is a program called ipcs(8). This will give you a listing of all shared memory segments, message queues, and semaphore arrays. An example (Linux): -- Shared Memory Segments keyshmid owner perms bytes nattchstatus 0x00280267 1 root 644 1048576 0 -- Semaphore Arrays key semid owner perms nsems status 0x00280269 0 root 666 14 -- Message Queues key msqid owner perms used-bytes messages NOW, if I wanted to make these go away (AFTER checking that nothing critical is actually USING these segments!), I would use the companion program ipcrm(8). ipcrm shm 1 ipcrm sem 0 the shm 1 line corresponds to the lines above that show shmid 1 under shared memory. Likewise, the sem 0 is for the semaphore w/ semid 0. See the manpages! Anyway, whenever I've seen that message, it means that something is barfing in shared memory. Usually, something got left behind instead of being cleaned up. A quick removal usually takes care of it. BUT!!! Don't do something silly (and dangerous) like deleting ORACLE's shared memory segments, while it's running. Fortunately, ipcs(8) shows the owners of shared memory segments, so this should be reasonable simple to identify. Hope this helps! (is this OT? :-) L8r, Rob
[OT] RE: Getting a Cache::SharedMemoryCache started
Hi all, I eventually found the problem with getting shm to work. I had the Openwall Linux kernel patch enabled with the "Destroy shared memory segments not in use" option set, which most Perl IPC functions seem to not like. Apache and PostgreSQL seem to work fine with this patch in place, however. Removed the option, and IPC::ShareLite compiles and tests fine so my SharedMemoryCache now works as exampled. Thanks Matt
RE: [BUG-REPORT] missing header (minor)
Version: Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24
What: PerlAuthenHandler returns headers without WWW-Authenticate field
Work-around: set with $r-err_header_out
It looks like you haven't fully read the book/docs/manpages/samples for auth
handling.
*All* of the code for Basic auth (i.e. browser based user/password from the
popup dialog) handlers have the following snippet:
$r-note_basic_auth_failure;
return AUTH_REQUIRED;
as in:
# get username password
(my $res, $sent_pw) = $r-get_basic_auth_pw;
return $res if $res != OK;
$user = $r-connection-user;
# need both username password
unless ( $user $sent_pw) {
$r-note_basic_auth_failure;
return AUTH_REQUIRED;
}
From http_protocol.h:
* note_basic_auth_failure arranges for the right stuff to be scribbled on
* the HTTP return so that the client knows how to authenticate itself the
* next time. As does note_digest_auth_failure for Digest auth.
*
* note_auth_failure does the same thing, but will call the correct one
* based on the authentication type in use.
The C API works the same way. From src/modules/standard/mod_auth.c:
ap_note_basic_auth_failure(r);
return AUTH_REQUIRED;
AND, the actual function ap_note_basic_auth_failure, from Apache's
http_protocol.c:
API_EXPORT(void) ap_note_basic_auth_failure(request_rec *r)
{
/* sanity checks here*/
ap_table_setn(r-err_headers_out,
r-proxyreq ? "Proxy-Authenticate" : "WWW-Authenticate",
ap_pstrcat(r-pool, "Basic realm=\"", ap_auth_name(r),
"\"",
NULL));
}
which in mod_perl would be:
$r-err_header_out( $r-proxyreq ? "Proxy-Authenticate" :
"WWW-Authenticate",
"Basic realm=" . $r-auth_name );
which looks alot like your workaround. :-)

Rob

RE: /dev/null problems
From the mod_perl guide:

There is a chance that your /dev/null device is broken. Try:

This is exactly the problem I have been getting when starting Apache
mod_perl, however the suggested fix does not work for me. We're on a
HPUX 11 machine. Is there another way to solve this problem? As I
understand it, if /dev/null is being used as the $0 argument to the
handler, perhaps I could somehow explicitly set it to another (empty)
file? How would I go about that?
I've never seen this to be an actual /dev/null problem. I've seen this in
HTML::EmbPerl and Apache::Registry, where the "/dev/null" is what gets put
in $0 when mod_perl has lost track of the original filename (and line 1
because it forget WHERE it was, too :-).
According to the sample:
syntax error at /dev/null line 1, near "line arguments:"
Execution of /dev/null aborted due to compilation errors.
parse: Undefined error: 0
Which says to me that one of your (scripts/server-parsed pages/modules) has
the string "line arguments:" in it, and there is a syntax error near there.
So (for example, on my Linux system):
find /home/httpd /etc/httpd/lib/perl -type f -exec grep -l 'line arguments:'
{} \;
the result should show you which file to fix.
HTH!

Re: /dev/null problems
Not answering your mod_perl question here, but I believe this suggestion in the guide isn't useful advice in any event -- this isn't 'echo'ing to /dev/null as su (root); rather it's 'echo'ing a line as su, and you (normal user) are redirecting that output to /dev/null. I.e., the grouping of that command is like so (yeah, I know, this is in no way intended to be real shell syntax, just to show the semantics...): (sudo echo) /dev/null rather than: sudo (echo /dev/null) Not sure what is trying to be accomplished by either of these, but in the interests of clarity in the guide, I think this ought to be either corrected or removed entirely. I'll volunteer to make the changes, if someone can clarify exactly what the intended result is. Stas? What do you say? Am I missing something here?

Until I've writting a native Apache::ASP database session layer, I'd recommend setting up a shared StateDir on a samba mount/CIFS share, which supports flock() semantics, unlike linux NFS. Also, you could set up a $Session variable in your global.asa Script_OnStart using Apache::Session. Just set NoState 1, or AllowApplicationState 0, so the ASP $Session won't get created. With an Apache::Session session, you do not get Session_OnEnd and Session_OnStart events. You can get away with NFS for a low volume app, about 40 writes per seconds in testing before internal session data starts getting lost, but you will lose $Session-Lock() SessionSerialize functionality. --Josh _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.

Most notably, this release introduces the ability to configure Mason
entirely from the httpd.conf. Simple sites will no longer need to create a
separate handler.pl script.
Jon
Other changes in 1.01:
- Revamped ApacheHandler tests to use a real Apache web server and
mod_perl (assuming this is installed). This allows for much better
testing of Mason. However, the test suite takes a bit longer to run
as starting and stopping the server can take a second or two each
time.
- ** Fixed handling of POST requests with query strings via CGI.pm;
the query string arguments were previously ignored, and are now merged
with POST arguments. This is an incompatible change only for those
whose code relied on the arguments missing.
- Added basic validation of arguments to Parser, Interp,
and ApacheHandler constructors.
- Added interp-die_handler, allowing you to install your own
subroutine as $SIG{__DIE__} to catch errors during component
execution. Alternately, you can simply turn the special error
handling off. L{Interp/die_handler}
- Added interp-use_dhandlers and interp-use_autohandlers, more
intuitive ways to turn on/off dhandlers and autohandlers.
- Eliminated interp-verbose_compile_error, which is no longer needed
and has not worked for some time.
- Wrapped each component call in eval, allowing us to simplify the
request stack code. No visible user change.
- Documented that you cannot call return() from a %shared or %once
section. (reported by Paolo Campanella)
- Fixed documentation of escaped newline behavior.
- Fixed incorrect code for using mod_perl args method in

Re: Help with Apache::ASP!
Josh,
I am not entirely sure that is the issue here. Just to cover off all
the bases, I am familiar with the FAQ, and several others. However, it is
actually not unparsed ASP that I am viewing in the browser output, but
seemingly partially parsed output.
Within one of my VirtualHost directives I have this enabled (tried
enabled/disabled, and made no difference):
VirtualHost 64.69.78.221
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/www/omail
ServerName admin.worldvibe.org
ServerPath /omail
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/cgi-bin/"
Directory /
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
/Directory
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/mailadmin_log common
/VirtualHost
I have even gone so far as to enable that as a global (as you can see from
the example below:
Directory /
Options FollowSymLinks
#AllowOverride None
AllowOverride All
/Directory
In case anyone is wondering, I am performing an apachectl restart after each
httpd.conf change, and making sure to clear browser cache before attempting
a reload on the page. Basically, everything I have tried has failed
miserably.. (lol)
The exact contents can be found at http://admin.worldvibe.org/eg/ this is
the eg directory that comes with Apache-ASP-2.09 (oh, and I have tried 2.07

Re: Help with Apache::ASP!
Guys,
One more thing to note... I get the exact same output even if I turn
off the Directory options in either of the two httpd.conf areas I have
tried.
Have any ideas on what I am missing?
Cheers,
Sean
Josh,
I am not entirely sure that is the issue here. Just to cover off all
the bases, I am familiar with the FAQ, and several others. However, it is
actually not unparsed ASP that I am viewing in the browser output, but
seemingly partially parsed output.
Within one of my VirtualHost directives I have this enabled (tried
enabled/disabled, and made no difference):
VirtualHost 64.69.78.221
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/www/omail
ServerName admin.worldvibe.org
ServerPath /omail
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/cgi-bin/"
Directory /
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
/Directory
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/mailadmin_log common
/VirtualHost
I have even gone so far as to enable that as a global (as you can see from
the example below:
Directory /
Options FollowSymLinks
#AllowOverride None
AllowOverride All
/Directory
In case anyone is wondering, I am performing an apachectl restart after each
httpd.conf change, and making sure to clear browser cache before attempting
a reload on the page. Basically, everything I have tried has failed
miserably.. (lol)
The exact contents can be found at http://admin.worldvibe.org/eg/ this is
the eg directory that comes with Apache-ASP-2.09 (oh, and I have tried 2.07
as well with the same amount of success.
Any ideas anyone? BTW, I am not a list member, so please send all replies
CC'd to me, thanks.

Installing new modules via CPAN?
I've got a working mod_perl installation on a Linux 2.2.14 / Apache/1.3.17 (Unix) mod_perl/1.25 / perl 5.005_03 machine. I'm trying to install Apache::AuthCookieDBI via my CPAN shell, and I keep getting errors of the sort: Can't locate object method "module" via package "Apache" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/DBI.pm line 202. It seems that something doesn't like the Apache-module() call, which wouldn't be available unless it's actually in a mod_perl environment. So how am I supposed to install Apache::AuthCookieDBI via the CPAN shell?

ANNOUNCE: HTML::Embperl 2.0b2
The second beta of Embperl 2.0 is now available from ftp://ftp.dev.ecos.de/pub/perl/embperl/HTML-Embperl-2.0b2.tar.gz The main news are the support for interactive debuggers and the possibility to use different syntaxes (Embperl, SSI, ASP, pure Perl, Text only etc.) along with various bugfixes. Embperl is a system for building dynamic websites with Perl. It gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML documents and the ability to build your Web site out of small reusable objects in an object-oriented style. You can also take advantage of all the usual Perl modules, (including DBI for database access) use their functionality and easily include their output in your web pages. Embperl has several features which are especially useful for creating HTML, including dynamic tables, form field processing, URL escaping/unescaping, session handling, and more. See http://perl.apache.org/embperl/ (english) or http://www.ecos.de/embperl/ (german) for more information. For all Embperl 1.x users here is a sumary of the difference of Embperl 2.0: Hints for using Embperl 2.x --- Embperl 2 has a totaly rewritten core. It contains nearly 7500 lines new (mostly C-) code. Also I have done a lot of testing, there may be still undiscovered bugs! Please report any weired behaviour to the embperl mailing list, but be sure to read this whole README to understand what can't work so far. The Embperl core now works in a totaly different way. It is divided into smaller steps: 1 reading the source 2 parseing 3 compiling 4 executing 5 outputing Further version will allow to replace every single step of this pipeline with custom modules. Also it will be possible to cascade multiple processors. This allows for example to have Embperl and SSI in one file and to parse the file only once, feeding it first to the SSI processor and afterwards to the Embperl processor. Also the parser will be exchangeable in future version to allow for example to use an XML parser and an XSLT stylesheet processor. These new execution scheme is also faster, because html tags and metacommands are parsed only once (Perl code was also (and is still) cached in 1.x) My first benchmarks show 50%-100% faster execution under mod_perl for pages longer then 20K (For short pages ( 5K ouput) you won't see such a great difference) and without any external database access. Another new feature is that the syntax of the Embperl parser is defined within the module HTML::Embperl::Syntax and can be modified as nessecary. Embperl comes with a set syntax definitons which can be extened modified by the user. So far there are syntaxdefinitions for SSI, Text only, Perl only, ASP and a Mail taglib. You can tell Embperl which syntax to use either in the configuration via EMBPERL_SYNTAX, or with the syntax parameter of Execute or you change the syntax dynamicly inside the page via the [$syntax $] command. You also could specify more then one syntax at the same time e.g. [$syntax Embperl SSI $] to mix Embperl tags and SSI tags in the same page. If you like to create your own syntax read perldoc HTML::Embperl::Syntax and look at the files under Embperl/Syntax/ for examples how to do it. Also new is the possibility to cache (parts of) the output. See for the new configuration directives below Debugging - Starting with 2.0b2 Embperl files can debugged via the interavtive debugger. The debugger shows the Embperl page source along with the correct linenumbers. You can do anything you can do inside a normal Perl programm via the debugger, e.g. show variables, modify variables, single step, set breakpoints etc. You can use the Perl interacive command line debugger via perl -d embpexec.pl file.epl or if you prefer a graphical debugger, try ddd (http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/) it's a great tool, also for debugging any other perl script: ddd --debugger 'perl -d embpexec.pl file.epl' NOTE: embpexec.pl could be found in the Embperl source directory If you want to debug your pages, while running under mod_perl, Apache::DB is the right thing. Apache::DB is available from CPAN. The following difference to Embperl 1.x apply: -- - The following options can currently only set from the httpd.conf: optRawInput, optKeepSpaces - The following options are currently not supported: optDisableHtmlScan, optDisableTableScan, optDisableInputScan, optDisableMetaScan optDisableHtmlScan can be replaced by switching the syntax e.g. [$syntax EmbperlBlocks $] # same as [- $optDisableHtmlScan = 1 -] here goes your code, Embperl will not interpret any html tags here [$syntax Embperl $]# same as [- $optDisableHtmlScan = 0 -] - Nesting must be properly. I.e. you cannot put a table tag (for an dynamic table) inside an if and the /table inside another if. (That still works for static tables) - optUndefToEmptyValue is always set and
