Re: questions
Stu, You don't need mod_perl to run PERL programs with Apache It's not clear what the problem is, but it sounds like you can get PERL programs to run if they are called .cgi but not .pl If so, try adding this line to httpd.conf AddHandler cgi-script .pl regards John stu seven [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/02/2002 00:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:questions I am having problems getting Apache to recognize perl files... someone suggested installing mod_perl... 1) Is installing mod_perl necessary to running perl scripts via Apache / webserver ? 2) I saw something in the mod_perl faqs about getting a popup save window instead of the perl file running... can I add the PerlSendHeader On to Apache without running mod_perl ? That is what is happening here now... .cgi files run / .pl files give me the save widget. I hope somebody can help with this... I really WOULD like to do some programming with mod_perl too :) _ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

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. There is a standard type for that function, application/octet-stream.

Re: Indentifying dir_config's
Robert - that's along the lines of what I'm after. My nuance is that I might
have several different configurations for the server - since there are
several
different containers that have different PerlSetVar directives.
In my example below a call to /test is going to have a different config
to a call to /different or a call to /. How can I do three different
intializations for these different configurations and then keep track of
them for the remaining requests?

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
I'm not sure if I understand...
I've done something in one of my modues in the past...
package MyHandler;
our $INITED = 0;
our %CONFIG = ();
sub handler {
unless($INITED) {
%CONFIG = $self-get_config($r);
$INITED = 1;
}
}
That way I only have to get_config once per forked process... This
is very useful for static (or near static) data. In this example
get_config was pulling configuration directives from an Oracle

Location Directives and Perl Handlers...
Hi folks, Another newbie question: Does it make sense to create a Location directive with a Perl Handler for each and every web transaction? I suppose more information about what the pages are doing would be helpful but I'm really just looking for some rules of thumb. I've created a site which uses a Location directive and a Handler for almost all transactions. Of course, all the pages are requesting information from a database and the pages are being generated from a simple templating scheme. I just wanted to get a feel whether or not there's other approaches to this architecture. Thanks for the replies in advance... K

modperl growth
Hi, I thought that some of you might find this graph interesting: http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/man.200201/apachemods.html?mod=cGVybA== For some reason, in December, it would seem that modperl just jumped ahead in market share (from 13% to nearly 20%). So given that people here are occasionally given to gloom and doom descriptions of the Perl/mod_perl world (there aren't as many people as before, the Java folks are taking over, etc.) I'd like to take this growth as well as modperl's general well doing (19.78% is a *huge* amount of people -- 600.000 servers, a fifth of the internet) as a very good sign that modperl is alive, kicking, and doing very well.

[?] Same Named Modules, Different Paths
Hello, I have a problem, and I have a poor solution; I would like to see if I can do even better. My problem is that I have a set of scripts and modules that are duplicated on the same Apache server setup. One tree is for debugging and developing, the other is the main release site. These are managed through cvs. The issue I ran into was that the debug scripts would request debug modules, but get the same-named release module if it was already loaded in the same Apache process (and vice versa). Here what my old (buggy under mod_perl) include stuff was like: use lib ../lib; use MyModule; Here is what I had to do to force correct module loading (mostly stolen from the great mod_perl guide): %INC = (); # Possibly unnecessary do 'FindBin.pm'; unshift @INC, $FindBin::Bin; # There are also modules in the same dir as the script unshift @INC, $FindBin::Bin/../lib/; require MyModule; import MyModule; So I'm loosing all of that slick compile-time speed savings and clean code just so I can have two source trees on the same server. One obvious answer is to move the devel tree off of the same server as the release tree. I will eventually do that, but it would be cool to see a solution that works with my current setup. Is there maybe a way to do tricks to modules like Apache::Registry does to scripts by automagically prepending the directory name behind the scenes? Any other ideas or places to RTFM? Thanks, John Heitmann

You should probably empty the package stash before you load the new module. That'll also save you subroutine redefined warnings too, I think. One obvious answer is to move the devel tree off of the same server as the release tree. This is undoubtably the best way to go. Any other ideas or places to RTFM? I've sometimes been able to get away with running the live version through Apache::Registry while developing small changes under mod_cgi. Then when the .cgi version is ready I just copy it into the .pl and restart. However, a full staging server is definitely preferable. -sam
Re: Location Directives and Perl Handlers...
Hi there, On Sat, 2 Feb 2002, eCap wrote: Does it make sense to create a Location directive with a Perl Handler for each and every web transaction? Well of course it all depends on what the transactions are, but as a rule I'd say probably not. A mod_perl process can consume quite a lot of resources. If you are getting a load of straight requests for image files that need no intervention from Perl then you should probably just let Apache serve them. Under a light load, most of the time it won't really matter if you're using a mod_perl process to do something which could be done by plain Apache, but if the server load goes up it will start to make a difference. If you don't have a plain Apache running to serve the requests then you'll have to use a heavy process for all requests anyway, and when the server gets busy you might start to wish you had more memory... 73, Ged.

Using a PerlHandler for ErrorDocument
I'm currently using a PerlHandler to handle all *.html files through the use of Template Toolkit, all working, no probs. I wanted to also use TT to handle the ErrorDocument directives, and I was also hoping to be able to create the error pages containing stuff like Your GET request from 1.2.3.4 on port 12345 failed..., etc. which AFAICT I get from the REDIRECT_* environment variables, (at least under CGI anyway). I've tested the variables using the /cgi-bin/printenv example from the Apache distro, and using that to handle 404s, so I could see what I had to play with, and then I came to try using my PerlHandler. When I request a page that is within the scope of the handler, (ie. *.html, but doesn't exist), I get back the variables as expected. When I request a false file that isn't covered by the handler, (ie. a fake *.tar.gz), the environment variables get doubly-prepended with REDIRECT_ so, for example, I have a REDIRECT_REDIRECT_REQUEST_METHOD variable. My snippet of httpd.conf is like this: ---8--- ErrorDocument 404 /error.html Location ~ ^/.*\.html$ SetHandler perl-script PerlSetVar Template_root /path/to/somewhere/src PerlHandler MyHandler /Location ---8--- All my handler currently does is gather all the environment variables up into one big string and pass it as a parameter to the template, where ATM I just print it. Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening, or maybe a better way to do this?

I've been a Eudora guy for more than a few years now. I think I started with version 3, but I could be wrong. It's a great mailer, and now it really is free if you want to watch their advertising. I don't have any problem with it, but AdAware will tell you you're infected w/ spyware. The best thing about Eudora is that it uses good old mbox format, so you could later move to mutt once you're on unix. Oh, and it's stable and immune to the Outlook viruses too. :-) Drew Drew Taylor JA[P|m_p|SQL]H http://www.drewtaylor.com/ Just Another Perl|mod_perl|SQL Hacker mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *** God bless America! ***

Outlook displays the signed email with a unique icon to identify it as such. The attachment contains the actual PGP info (in case you want to see it). I think that's fair enough isn't it? I don't know about Outlook Express though (which is a completely different mailer). Outlook Express handles S/MIME, but OpenPGP multipart/signed messages confuse it.
