fancy perl2html replacement
warning: these questions are completely off list topic, but i bet they're still interesting to lots of you. does anybody know if nice fancey pod2html replacements exist? specifically, i want a tool that generates framesets with package and class indexes like javadoc does. also, what's the opinion on extending pod? my method documentation currently looks like this: =head2 METHODS =over =item new() Construct and return an instance. =item setFooBar($value) Sets the value of the FooBar. B =over =item $value the value to set =back B =over =item B if something goes wrong =back =back wouldn't it be nicer to have a set of compact constructs for code documentation? maybe like so: =constructor new() Construct and return an instance. =method setFooBar($value) Sets the value of the FooBar. =param $value the value to set =exception B if something goes wrong would enable the fancy javadoc-like tool to easily generate constructor and method summary and detail lists and to format all that stuff in attractive and easy to read ways, rather than having big sets of lists that are semantically meaningless. i bet somebody's gonna say "hey, use xml instead!" but then i lose all the pod support built into tools like makemaker.
Unable to build apache + mod_perl on AIX
apache_1.3.20 mod_perl-1.25 AIX kbs80 3 4 000C30CD4C00 unknown Problem: regardless of what arg's I've tried or all-in-one, one-step I keep getting xlC as the compier and CFLAGS which include "-qlonglong -q32 -maxmem'. xlC then fails to compile apache. Running ./configure --blah in the apache directory w/ CC=/path/to/gcc and CFLAGS='-O2 -I/blah -L/blah' gives me a working copy of apache -- sans mod_perl. Running "find . -type f | xargs grep -il qlonglong" and '... grep -il xlC' in the mod_perl and apache directories gets me NADA. This includes the documentation, source, Makefiles, inputs, you-name-it. Question: What is a way to run some combination of "perl Makefile.PL" with or without ./configure for apache that will cause the result to use $CC and $CFLAGS in my envoronment -- or which piece of code can I hack that is finding xlC in hte first place (sorry, I don't have time to perl -d Makefile.pl at this point). thanx.
Re: mod_perl bof Oreilly Conference TShirts
Apparently last year the quantity was 150 for US$10/shirt. This was a 2 color shirt. So the damage was US$1500. However, there are two factors that may lower the cost. One, perhaps not as many shirts have to produced because the conference attendence may be lower this year than last year (although I think the more TShirts the better!) ... So I'd rather this not be the case. And two, Randal has generously proposed using a contact of us that may be able to produce similar or better quality for as low as US$5/shirt. Of course, so that I do not raise expectations falsely, I will add that this may depend on quantity and it remains to be made into a concrete negotiation with the supplier for these additional shirts. So if the cost actually did go down to half, the cost for 150 shirts would be US$750. Merely the cost of Windows 2000 Enterprise Edition. If a corporation out there can spend money on a proprietary operating system, surely they can help sponsor a rag-tag bunch of misfits on a mission to save the Earth... oh, sorry, got carried away while watching the SciFi channel...

An apache child process will eventually die if there's nothing to keep it busy, but at least one process will always remain, and on Windows there is always exactly one at any given time (with mod_perl). If you're using MaxRequestsPerChild or Apache::SizeLimit or something similar, the process will eventually be killed and a new one will take it's place, meaning that code cached during startup.pl/httpd.conf will still be cached but anything cached in that child will be gone. You probably don't want to try and change this behavior, since it keeps processes from growing too large. However, you should make sure that you aren't trying to open a socket (or filehandle, or database handle) in the parent process (during startup) and use it in the children. Each child will have to make a new socket the first time. Hope that helps, Perrin
Cached Code Disappeared?
Hello, Still seeking assistance form anyone who is experienced with sockets and mod-perl /apache on NT. Anyway, as my previous email showed, I built a site which used a global filehandle to a socket. It worked great for about two hours, and then all of a sudden stopped. After rebooting the apache server, all worked well again. I am thinking that the cached code probably went away since no one hit it for a while? Does apache give back cached scripts after a certain time of not being used? And if that is the case, can I tell the server via the config that I want to keep a certain script or perl module alive in cache for a set time? Thanks Scott Purcell

SocketConnect
This replace my earlier WebSiteQuestion post, in which maybe the question was too broad. Would there be any issues if I had a perl module called that creates a global socket handle, and then use that handle throughout a bunch of different web pages? Or is there any concerns I should be aware of when doing this kind of persistant socket handle? Thanks, Scott Purcell

[ANNOUNCE] Apache::ASP v2.17
Hey, Apache::ASP v2.17 is in your local CPAN or http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Apache/ Mostly this is a bug fix release, with a debugging enhancement, and a bundled emacs mmm-mode. The web site for Apache::ASP is http://www.apache-asp.org and the CHANGES are listed below. Apache::ASP provides an Active Server Pages port to the Apache Web Server with Perl scripting only, and enables developing of dynamic web applications with session management and embedded perl code. There are also many powerful extensions, including XML taglibs, XSLT rendering, and new events not originally part of the ASP API! -- Josh _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc. NodeWorks <- Web Link Checking Huntington Beach, CA USA http://www.nodeworks.com1-714-625-4051 + = improvement; - = bug fix =item $VERSION = 2.17; $DATE="6/17/2001"; +Added ASP perl mmm-mode subclass and configuration in editors/mmm-asp-perl.el file for better emacs support. Updated SYNTAX/Editors documentation. +Better debugging error message for Debug 2 or 3 settings for global.asa errors. Limit debug output for lines preceding rendered script. -In old inline include mode, there should no longer be the error "need id for includes" when using $Response->Include() ... if DynamicIncludes were enabled, this problem would not have likely occured anyway. DynamicIncludes are preferrable to use so that compiled includes can be shared between scripts. This bug was likely introduced in version 2.11. -Removed logging from $Response->BinaryWrite() in regular debug mode 1 or 2. Logging still enabled in system Debug mode, -1 or -2 -Removed other extra system debugging call that is really not necessary.

Web Site Question
Hello,
First: I am running apache/mod-perl on a NT box as a web server. Sorry it is
not unix, it is the only tool I can have.
Kind of a forward question, but I am curious about something. My large web
site talks to a back-end product that uses an API and I use the IO::Socket
to talk to it. It is a pure socket application. It takes the place of a
database back-end.
So my question is, should I create a global socket handle, and then use it
all the time, or is it best to just call for the handle each time I need
request some data?
The reason I ask is as follows: I have the code below which works, but I
cannot seem to ask two socket calls back to back? I don't know why. Maybe it
is a learning curve I have to perfect.
Anyway, I figured I would ask people who would know for their input. So if
anyone has any opinions, could you fill me in?
Thanks for your time,
Scott Purcell

this will not. $r->requires could be made writable, but i worry about

once without no_cache when the user hits reload.
I don't know if it would be a good idea to disable caching for all pages ..
could i just fake that the the filedate for this page has changed, so that
only a browser which needs to refresh its cookie will really reload the page ?

Changing "Normal" pl-scripts to mod_perl
Hello List, I know now to configure the apache httpd.conf so that i can use mod_perl. What I want to know is how I have to change my old CGI-script which are written in Perl so that they work under mod-perl Apache??? Who give me a hint? Are there any example Scripts?

RE: Confusion resolved (was: mod_perl DSO leaking on restart)
Doug,
Will this patch make it into 1.26? If so, is there a slated release date
for 1.26?
Thanks,

Re: Multiple AddHandler statements
Is there something in SSI which cant be done in a better way using Perl ??
Re: Multiple AddHandler statements
Hi Douglas, > We have a CGI script which dynamically generates a certain page on our site. > We want to include an SSI on that dynamically created page. Is that > possible? We have two "AddHandler" statements for files that end in .cgi... > > Unfortunately, the dynamically generated page is not being server-parsed > because the Include virtual statement is showing up in the HTML source (the > same statment on a .shtml file, however, is replaced with the result of the > SSI). > We've been doing quite the same thing on our server. Our way out (maybe not the best one; I'm waiting for the list's answers :-) is to generate the dynamic page (step one, which you're obviously doing) and then, at the end of this phase of the request, generate an internal redirect to the newly created page. This way, Apache processes the dynamic/SSI page, just as if it were requested by the user. Maybe that's a little heavy (but it's still better than sending an external redirect to the user's browser !)
