Apache::RequestNotes and sharing information
I am using
RequestNotes with PerlAccessHandler and a PerlHandler.
When the browser
connects for the first time,
The
PerlAccessHandler sets a session_based cookie, using TIEHASH
$r->pnotes("COOKIES")->{'SESSION_ID'} =
$session{_session_id};
And the PerlHandler
retrieves the session_id using
$session_id = $r->pnotes("COOKIES")->{'SESSION_ID'}
To my surprise, in the PerlHandler $r->pnotes("COOKIES")->{'SESSION_ID'} has not been
set.
Is there any way to
share data between different handlers?

Ah. Sorry, my miscommunication. When I said that I "ended up making
a WWW::Search" I should have put an "an instance of" in there instead
of "a". Basically WWW::Search provided a good interface, but
everything was remote, so I wrote this. If you stick to the
conventions provided here, it should be easy to make other variations
using other local search engines. I was just surprised that nobody
seemed to have done it before.
Grep(3)User Contributed Perl DocumentationGrep(3)
NAME
WWW::Search::Grep - class for searching a local web site
using grep
SYNOPSIS
require WWW::Search;
$search = new WWW::Search('Grep');
DESCRIPTION
This is a grep specialization of WWW::Search.
THis class exports no public interface; all interaction
should be done through WWW::Search objects.
OPTIONS
The default query syntax is: word word OR word
"quoted phrase" Blank separated words are implicitly
separated by AND. OR refers only to the word or phrases
directly to either side. The model is the same as that
used by Google (http://www.google.com/).
search_url
Specifies the directory to search. All .html and .htm
files in the specified directory and any
subdirectories will be searched. This is an absolute
pathname and is required. E.g.
/home/httpd/html/foo/searchdir/
base_path
This is this is the part of that pathname that should
be stripped off before prefixing the base_url. This
is required. E.g. /home/httpd/html/
base_url
This is prepended to the pathname after stripping the
base_path. This is optional, the default is none.
E.g. http://www.somewhere.com/ or /
search_debug,search_parse_debug
See WWW::Search
grep
Pathname to grep, default is /bin/egrep.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept

Problem using mod_perl-1.26 with perl 5.6.1 and XML::Parser
Hi gang, I am fairly new to mod_perl, but I would like to share my recent experience and hope someone might offer some insight into my troubles. Last week I whipped together a simple perl module that used XML::Simple ( a wrapper for XML::Parser) to parse some POST'd content. Once parsed the resulting data was munched a bit and then POST'd to another web server. Like everything perl it was quick to implement and ran quick as well. My problems came along when I moved my module to another server. All of sudden Apache would segfault in the Expat library code when my module parsed the content. I noticed that I had different versions of XML::Parser on the different machines (2.29 vs. 2.30). XML::Parser-2.29 was the one on the working instance so I downgraded the box that was segfaulting. When I down graded the segfaults went away but a nasty little problem showed up latter in the module where the data being sent in my module's post was getting corrupted. I narrowed down the problem to the call to running the XML parser being related to the data corruption. At this point I found this mail list and searched the archive. There were lots of references to the "Expat" problem where Apache itself uses a copy of Expat and a XML::Parser would use a different version of the Expat. There was discussion about required configuration parameters to mod perl, but more importantly there was a post mentioning that Apache 1.3.22 made the whole problem go away. Feeling inspired by my new found knowledge of the problem, I decided a clean install of the new apache was in order. To be safe, I reinstalled RedHat 7.1 without RedHat's apache. I uninstalled perl 5.6.0 that came with RH7.1 and installed perl 5.6.1. I followed the "simple" mod_perl install instructions that builds apache with perl statically linked. My resulting install didn't segfault, but my nasty bug was still there. At this point I went back and fully duplicated the working implementation: Apache 1.3.19, mod_perl 1.26 perl-5.005_3 and XML::Parser-2.29. The originally working system was on RH 6.2, and this configuration worked on my new machine using RH 7.1. This configuration was built with the following commands: tar zxf apache_1.3.19.tar.gz cd apache_1.3.19 ./configure --prefix=/lsurf/apache --enable-shared=max --enable-module=all make make install cd .. tar zxf mod_perl-1.26.tar.gz cd mod_perl-1.26 perl Makefile.PL USE_APXS=1 APACHE_PREFIX=/lsurf/apache EVERYTHING=1 make make install Now that I had something reproducible, I continued. I rebuilt using Apache 1.3.22 just like above, and everything continued to work. I upgraded to XML::Parser-2.30, and things continued to work. It was only when I went from perl 5.005_3 to 5.6.1 did my module break. As I said above I tried a statically linked apache. I also tried building Apache 1.3.22 as above with perl 5.6.1 and my code failed with both XML::Parser-2.29 and XML::Parser-2.30. Whatever way I tried using perl 5.6.1 I had my nasty problem. When configuring Apache 1.3.22 I noticed it said it was using the system's libexpat which was installed with RH. XML::Parser-2.29 uses its own copy of expat, but XML::Parser-2.30 uses the system libexpat. As I said with perl 5.005_3 I was able to use either version of XML::Parser. In the end I have a working implementation using perl-5.005_3, but I'd sure feel better using the "latest stable perl", and it should work as far as I can tell. If anyone has some suggestions I'd be willing to give them a try. Thanks for your patience if you read this long winded post. Matthew

No, I meant are you sure you're running 1.26? Please doublecheck it, since this sounds so much like the bug from the previous release. - Perrin >>>Indeed, here's the signature from Apache::Status : >>> >>> Embedded Perl version v5.6.0 for Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) >mod_perl/1.26 >>> >>>Apache.pm shows v1.27 (that's a little weird, but I assume unimportant.) >>> >>>Thanks, >>>David >>> >> >>So... any ideas on this one? > > >have you tried 5.6.1? 5.6.0 is very buggy. > Just tried it. Fresh build of 5.6.1, and mod_perl 1.26 against it. The problem persists -- %INC is incomplete vs. my actual loaded modules, missing what was loaded with PerlModule directives. What should I try next. :-) David
