Each child has a separate interpreter and thus a separate instance of your global. If you need to co-ordinate data between processes, you might want to look at Cache::Cache or MLDBM::Sync. If you just need an exclusive lock, file locking is the simplest way to go. - Perrin

Global variables are exactly that: global. If you use something like: our $foo ||= somefunc; or our $foo = Someclass->constructor( @blah ); then you'll get a value that goes into the symbol table and is unique w/in the executing process. Thing you'll need to read up on are global variables, packages/namespaces and how "use strict" effects things (all of which are in the Camel or Llama books). -- Steven Lembark 2930 W.

Are global variables truly global?
I have some state data that I need to persist between requests. At the
moment these are COM objects, but they'll be ported to Perl Classes. It
is quite important that only one of these instances exist per web
server. These instances are too large to write and read to file on every
request. So I have defined the variable as a package level variable.
I have been instantiating the variable in my handler() routine if it has
not already been instantiated. ie.
package Apache::MyPkg;
my $COM_instance;
sub handler {
if (!$COM_instance) {
$COM_instance = Win32::OLE->new("ProgID.Class");
}
}
Will the different child processes created by Apache share the same
variable? Or will each child create an additional instance? I'm happy to
lose the data if Apache falls over.

mod_perl alias directories
I have successfully installed mod_perl and am using it. I have two question. 1- Currently I have designated a /pm directory to contain my mod_perl codes, a collection of classes. I then have instances of these launched from non /pm directory. I did this so that I don't have to be back at cgi-bin perdicament where all my CGIs are in one directory. I never liked that style. But I'm still forced to put my base classes in /pm. Is there a way to instruct HTTP that perl code in any directory should be used as mod_perl similar to ExecCGI. Or perhaps for a better/cleaner approach, any perl code with some extension such as foo.cgi-mp or foo.cmp (Cgi-Mod-Perl). 2- I currently have to restart my HTTP for changes to my mod_perl code take affect. Is there any way so I don't have to do this. I can see that this is not going to work in a large organization where IT handles the production web servers.

It looks like you might not have the 'apache-devel' package installed. (You did say you were on RedHat, didn't you?) Try installing that.

They are regular perl modules. They only run under mod_perl though. :-) If you can, use the CPAN shell to install modules, (see 'perldoc CPAN') Otherwise, download and extract the module then change into its directory. Read the README and INSTALL files. Then - assuming those files don't say differently - type perl Makefile.PL make make test And if you're happy with the results, su to root and type make install Hope this helps.

Re: config.status for mod_perl ?
Hi, The problem was that on our machines ( Solaris 2.6, Apache 1.3.14, Modperl 1.26) we are constantly getting a "child segmentation fault (11) ". One mail in the news group suggested using PERL_USELARGEFILES=0 in addition to the normal configuration for modperl installation. We tried that with the command : % perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/perl/apache_1.3.14/src DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 PERL_USELARGEFILES=0 % make && make test && make install but we got the following message : [snip] modules/module..skipped test on this platform modules/perlrun.FAILED before any test output arrived modules/psections...skipped test on this platform Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of failed --- modules/perlrun ?? ?? % ?? 6 tests skipped. httpd terminated Failed 1/34 test scripts, 97.06% okay. 0/374 subtests failed, 100.00% okay. make: *** [run_tests] Error 29 After this we were stuck up, hence thought of copying the existing installation on a similar machine which seems to be working !.

Hi there, On Sun, 4 Nov 2001, [iso-8859-1] Nick Mason wrote: > I wanted to copy someone's existing modperl and apache installation > to my machine. [snip] file for modperl which has the parameters There isn't really just one file which you can copy to install mod_perl, and because installations tend to differ so very much from one to another it doesn't usually make much sense to try to copy a configuration from one machine to another. If you look in the Guide you'll find it very easy to get a simple configuration running, and there are many links there to other documents which will help too - in particular the Eagle Book. http://perl.apache.org/guide 73, Ged.
config.status for mod_perl ?
Hi, I wanted to copy someone's existing modperl and apache installation to my machine. Just as Apache keeps the file config.status which can be rerun to create the same configuration of Apache, is there any similar file for modperl which has the parameters used for modperl installation.
