[QUESTION]PerlHandler and PerlLogHandler Phase
Hi! I am been working on modperl for some time this is the first time I am posting a question on the mailing list. Please bear with me if I miss something or give too much information. I have been working on a project that can be described as an online library. The modperl portion of it adds a header,navigation bar and a footer and display the content file of the book which I shall try to draw below. The URI is used to determine what ModPerl nav. bar to generate. These URI are always in the format /en/book/bookname/ch01p01.html. I have used the following in my configuration file Location /en/book PerlHandler MyApache::StartBook PerlLogHandler MyApache::ActivityLogger /Location Things would have been great if the ch01p01.html was just one long html file without images,stylesheets and a number of script src=. calls. The general format of these html files are as follows. script Javascript Global Variables set, the content file to open. chapterNum=01 chapterPage=01 /script trtd script scr=js/bookconfig.js script scr=js/+chapterNum+P+chapterPage+.js script scr=js/chapnav.js script scr=js/footer.js /td/tr Here is the layout -- ModPerl Gen Header(Nav. Bar for suhjects in library) --- ModPerl| Contents of the course Gen. | which contains html,stylesheets, Nav Bar| images,audio files,java class files for selected | in a directory below the html file book | [-JS Nav bar mainly images] | [!-Footer with current page number] -- ModPerl Footer (Copyrights info.) - Here are the problems/Questions that I face: 1. Since in this case each requests for a html file has multiple files that need to be downloaded by the client. Am I right to assume that the handler will act on each and every file requested file below my /en/course URI? 2.If the answer to the above question is YES? The Handler will add headers,footers for everything. What do I need to do to apply the handler logic just to the requested page and return the remaining files that are needed to complete the requested page as they are? 3. When I move these JS files outside the /en/course URI they seem to work? But now when I put them with in? It just displays the Javascript code like simple text on the browser. 4. In the Logging Phase, I need to store the last requested page as a bookmark. So if the user logs out, and logs back in it takes him to the same page. Since the html files are made up of some many requests to other files, it stores the last file it requested. It may be path to an image file,style sheet file etc... Is there any way I can circumvent this problem? Thank You very much for you help in advance. I apologize if the email is too detailed. Mark __ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!

In the Eagle book (as well as a Perl Journal article) there is an example of a Apache::Header/Apache::Footer. CPAN doesn't show them right now.

Indentifying dir_config's
I'm wondering if there is a way that I can mark or remeber that I've seen a particular dir_config during a previous request. The motivation is performance related - so that I can set up for particular set of PerlSetVar values only the once. Then subseqeuent requests to that child will use a previously determined value (instanciated object). IE: in my httpd.conf I have - PerlSetVar myvalue 100 Location /test PerlSetVar myvalue 200 /Location Location /different PerlSetVar myvalue 300 /Location So - request 1 - GET /test I check dir_config(myvalue) and setup. Can I mark that I was here; sorta like the equivalent of Location /test PerlSetVar myvalue 200 PerlSetVar signature myvalue_200 /Location request 2 - GET /test I want to know I was here before because I see that signature was set and I'll recall that. I was hoping that would work but setting a dir_config seems to go into the server-level and not to the calling container. Would there be another approach? Perhaps there is already a signature that would help me uniquely identify which set of containers made the call? Worst case scenario I could hash all the dir_config values and use that as my signature - but I was hoping there would be something cheaper to do. :) TIA and if this is unclear let me know and I'll get more detailed.

Of course if you app, is IO-bound or depends with some external component, than your argumentation applies. Eh, any real system will be a combination. Sure; when everything works then it's worth finding the CPU intensive places and fix them up, but for the most part the system design is far far more important than any code optimiziation you can ever do. My usual rhetorics: Your average code optimization will gain you at most a few percent performance gain. A better design can often make things 10 times faster and use only a fraction of your memory. On the other hand how often do you get a chance to profile your code and see how to improve its speed in the real world. Managers never plan for debugging period, not talking about optimizations periods. And while premature optimizations are usually evil, as they will bait you later, knowing the differences between coding styles does help in a long run and I don't consider these as premature optimizations. If you don't waste time profiling every little snippet of code you might have more time to fix the real bottlenecks in the end. ;-) [...] All I want to say is that there is no one-fits-all solution in Perl, because of TIMTOWTDI, so you can learn a lot from running benchmarks and picking your favorite coding style and change it as the language evolves. But you shouldn't blindly apply the outcomes of the benchmarks without running your own benchmarks. Amen.

At ValueClick we only have a few BerkeleyDBs that are in the request loop for 99% of the traffic; everything else is in fairly efficient in-memory data structures. So there we do of course care about the tiny small optimiziations because there's a direct correlation between saved CPU cycles and request capacity. However, it's only that way because we made a good design for the application in the first place. :-) (And for all the other code we rarely care about using a few more CPU cycles if it is easier/cleaner/more flexible/comes to mind first).

[OT] Mac OS X compilation woes (Was: Apache::args vs Apache::Requestspeed)
Hello,
JSAn initial build and install of:

JSon a previously-working apache 1.3.22 mod_perl 1.26 server on OS X 10.1.2
JSwith this:
JSuse Apache::Request;
JSuse Apache::Cookie;

JSIn its startup.pl file causes the following:
JS
JS# bin/httpd -d /usr/local/apache -f conf/httpd.conf
JSdyld: bin/httpd Undefined symbols:
JS_ap_day_snames
JS...
JS_sv2request_rec
I'm having a similar problem but it's for ANY symbols in a .a that you
compile something with. e.g. say I have a C library and it lives in
/usr/local/lib/libfoo.a (include in /usr/local/include/foo.h) and exports
void foo(). If I have a test C program tester.c:
#include foo.h
int main { foo(); return 0 }
And I compile it so:
% cc -o tester -lfoo tester.c
And I run it, I'll get the undefined symbols error that you paste above.
This happens for me with a variety of existing open source libraries that
I've built. I theorize your problem with libapreq may stem from a similar
problem (I'm also running 10.1.2).

ANN: HTML::Template 2.5
HTML::Template - a Perl module to use HTML Templates CHANGES 2.5 - Doc Fix: added reference to new HTML::Template website at http://html-template.sourceforge.net - Bug Fix: global_vars fixed for loops within loops - Bug Fix: include paths were broken under Windows (David Ferrance) - Bug Fix: nested include path handling was wrong (Gyepi Sam) - Bug Fix: MD5 signatures for file cache corrected (Martin Schroth) - Bug Fix: print_to was broken for tied filehandles (Darren Chamberlain) - Doc Fix: added mailing-list archive URL to FAQ, added link to tutorial, fixed typos and formatting DESCRIPTION This module attempts to make using HTML templates simple and natural. It extends standard HTML with a few new HTML-esque tags - TMPL_VAR, TMPL_LOOP, TMPL_INCLUDE, TMPL_IF, TMPL_ELSE and TMPL_UNLESS. The file written with HTML and these new tags is called a template. It is usually saved separate from your script - possibly even created by someone else! Using this module you fill in the values for the variables, loops and branches declared in the template. This allows you to separate design - the HTML - from the data, which you generate in the Perl script. This module is licensed under the GPL. See the LICENSE section below for more details. TUTORIAL If you're new to HTML::Template, I suggest you start with the introductory article available on the HTML::Template website: http://html-template.sourceforge.net AVAILABILITY This module is available on SourceForge. Download it at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1075 The module is also available on CPAN. You can get it using CPAN.pm or go to: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SA/SAMTREGAR/ CONTACT INFO This module was written by Sam Tregar ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can join the HTML::Template mailing-list by sending a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Perl Section Bug?
Okay, let me try again.
I have a simple module I've written that demonstrates the problem. here
it is:
package MyTest;
our $VERSION = '0.1';
use Apache;
sub one {
print STDERR One\n;
print STDOUT One\n;
return Apache::OK;
}
sub two {
print STDERR Two\n;
print STDOUT Two\n;
return Apache::OK;
}
package Apache::ReadConfig;
use strict;
use warnings;
our $NameVirtualHost = '*:80';
our %VirtualHost = ('*:80' = {
ServerName = '_default_',
DocumentRoot = '/usr/local/apache/htdocs',
Location = {
'/one' = {
SetHandler = 'perl-script',
PerlHandler= 'MyTest::one'
},
'/two' = {
SetHandler = 'perl-script',
PerlHandler= 'MyTest::two'
}
}
});
Now, if I execute this from httpd.conf by simply calling
PerlModule MyTest
Here's what I get for my requests:
URL Prints
=== ==
http://myserver/one One
http://myserver/two Two
http://myserver/one/foo One
http://myserver/two/foo Two
http://myserver/one/two One
http://myserver/one/twofoo One
http://myserver/one/two/foo One
http://myserver/two/one One
http://myserver/two/onefoo One
http://myserver/two/one/foo One
It's the last three requests that are the problem. Because I'm hitting
the '/two' location, I expect each of those examples to print Two. But
because they each have one in the URL, they all print One!
Why is this? It seems to be acting like LocationMatch directives rather
than Location. Could this be a bug in how the Perl sections work? If
not, how do I get that last request to print Two instead of One?
Even if it *is* a bug, how do I get the proper behavior?
TIA,
David

CGI Upload/download question
Hi, I have a question regarding File Upload. My program Upload.cgi, prompt the user to upload a file, it then processes it and turns around and download it by setting the mime to a non-existing MIME type, say, SomeCrazyType via header() method. $q-header ( -type = application/x-SomeCrazyType ); The problem is that if the user supplied a filename MyFile.txt, in the course of returning it back to the user, and since the borwser will most likely does not how to deal with that crazy mime type, will prompt the user for Save and if that is chosen, then the name Upload.cgi is suggested. Can I somehow influence this behavior such that the user will indeed see something like MyFile.txt.returned or MyFile.txt.processed in the dialog box. By the way, the reason for the crazy MIME type, is to prevent the browser to render it. I'm trying to achive a complete upload-process-download. Perhaps there is an standard MIME type that I should use. Thank you -- - Medi Montaseri [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix Distributed Systems EngineerHTTP://www.CyberShell.com CyberShell Engineering -
Re: Perl Section Bug?

If not, how do I get that last request to print Two instead of One? Even if it *is* a bug, how do I get the proper behavior? Okay, in a way, I've answered my own question. Prepending ^ to the front of each Location directive corrects the problem. However, I still think that this is a bug, because AFAIK, Location directives aren't supposed to use regular expressions unless they have the '~' character in them. I'm not sure how one would include that in Perl sections, but it seems better to require that Perl sections interpret Location directives as literal strings and LocationMatch directives as regular expressions Make sense?

Joe- ApacheCookie_* was not being boostrapped into the executable, so it

The following patch, while probably not correct (and probably the cause
of the silent failure), covers it.
Great - thanks a ton!

I've incorporated your patch and uploaded it to the website.
Hopefully other OS X'ers will be able to confirm it works now.
Also, the all-in-one compile method doesn't setup apache correctly,
so the steps taken were:
unpack everthing in the same root directory
mod_perl:
$ perl Makefile.PL APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache DO_HTTP=1 \
PREP_HTTP=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1
$ make
$ make install
http_apreq:
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make install
apache:
$ CFLAGS='-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' ./configure
--prefix=local/apache \
--enable-shared=max --disable-rule=EXPAT --with-layout=Apache \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a --disable-shared=perl
$ make
$ make install
You're my hero ;-)
