scripts running under Apache::Registry and tie()/untie()
Hi,
I'm very new to modperl and I've got a question regarding the usage of tie
() and untie().
I've written a perl-script for authenticating a user's IP-address
against a DBM-database which has stored a certain valid IP-range
for each user.
I put it into a directory where every .perl-file runs under
Apache::Registry.
Now I do a tie() once in the .perl-script. Do I have to untie() in the same
script
or is this not necessary because as I understood the perl-script keeps
living as long as the child-process who started it?!
Did I get something wrong here?!
best regards,
Johannes Grumböck

Apache::Symbol-calling none-can('undef_functions')
Hi
The following
perl -MDevel::Symdump -e '$t =
Devel::Symdump-new(main); print $t-packages, \n;'
in perl 5.6.1 returns none as one the packages !
Apache::Symbol (mod_perl-1.26) seems to call a
'can('undef_function..' on this values as a result,
a fatal error is thrown ! I have done a 'next if
/\none\/' in Apache::Symbol to work around this.
There is no problem in perl-5.005. No one else faced
similar problem ? BTW, all this is in Solaris 2.6

Is it possible that my perl script (Apache::Registry, Apache::PerlRun, HTML::Mason or whatever) could run multiple times with same parameters when the user just invokes the URL once (for example clicks on A tag) and if so how can I prevent this from happening. I guess this is because of subrequests being fired and I _explicitly_ don't wish my code to run multiple times because strange things might happen.

I guess you're using Apache::StatINC? from the recesses of my memory,
I think that only Apache::StatINC uses Apache::Symbol, and in perl
5.6.0 the need for Apache::Symbol was removed, since subroutine
redefined warnings were made not-mandatory.
at any rate, if you're using Apache::StatINC you can probably just
move to Apache::Reload to avoid the problem. other than that, I'm not
sure what to tell you - I can't recall anyone else reporting this
problem...

I did find yesterday that Apache::Status + Devel::Symdump can cause
Apache to segfault on Solaris 2.7 with Perl 5.6.1, mod_perl 1.26,
apache 1.3.22. Not sure why yet. I'm just avoiding the combination
for now :/ (Basically, let this serve as a warning so people aren't
surprised if they see it.)
I also get the following at times:

I suspect the implementation of GP/Pari as I ended up with the worst case as mentioned in the Math::Pari install and manually copied (as instructed) what I guess is a 'C' library file of some description (paricfg.h - I am by no stretch a C programmer..) to the proper location. It all seemed to work ok after that and as I had had troubles prior I already had my test scripts which all ran fine so I thought Hooray! Then I implemented the real system and got the errors mentioned. What I still don't understand is why the test scripts run ok, but the mod_perl implementation doesn't. (But on my dev server everything works as it should..) I'm going to reinstall GP/Pari on the production server using the src.rpm I found on the Pari site, then if that goes ok I might be able to install/update Math::Pari without errors, then maybe it'll all work.. that's the plan anyway.. cheers, -- J Web Developer Eight Degrees Off Centre http://www.eightdegrees.com.au/

I don't really understan if the problem is in mod_perl, in Apache, in Templat Toolkit, in my ultrasecure patched kernel, in CGI.pm, but the point is that Apache::Request seems not to loose any post data :-? Thank you all. Oscar Serrano. Did anyone of you guys by chacne compile PERL 5.6.1 with 'threading'. Cuz I had the EXACT same porblem. The problem was 'fixable' in CGI.pm. Look at the init() procedure. scroll down to line 453 where is calls read_from_client() (version 2.79 but is in all versions of CGI.pm). Now what I did was remove the reference to the STDIN filehandle and BINGO. things worked fine. But I found that that was unacceptable to modify the CGI.pm source. But that means reference handling was incorrect. I went and put alot of debugging stuff in read_from_client() and confirmed that the read() call was getting nothing returned becuase there wasn anything in the file handle that was passed to it. I 'thought' I had 2 exact matching systems. the one on the web server (that was having this problem) and my workstation/dev box. My dev box worked perfectly fine. At this point I was fed up with this and I started recompiling things. :) started with perl. This time I just ran ./configure and held down the Enter button (making sure I compiled libperl.so tho). remove the current perl tree frm the system compleatly. installed it. reinstalled all modules that I needed. That solved any problems. things run perfectly now. The only differnece is that I must of enabled multi-threading support because there was that 'thread' directory tree present. -- Jason Czerak

Weird mod_perl CGI.pm interaction (Bug?)
Hello,
I have two scripts, call them A and B. Here's what I'm doing (paraphrased
heavily to save posting a huge pile of code):
In data.html, I have:
!--#include virtual=A?action=show --
In A, I have:
$q = new CGI;
show() if $q-param('action') eq 'show';
sub show
{
Apache::Include-virtual(B?action=remove);
}
In B, I have:
$q = new CGI;
show() if $q-param('action') eq 'show';
remove() if $q-param('action') eq 'remove';
sub show
{
print B::show()\n;
}
sub remove
{
print B::remove()\n;
}
Inveriably, I end up with B::show() in my output, not at all what I wanted,
expected or hoped for.
What I see happening is that Apache::Registry is loading CGI.pm into the httpd
child the first time it encounters a script that uses it. This runs a number
of functions within CGI.pm which set up variables, etc. The call to new() in A
then reads the query (GET or POST, doesn't matter) into @QUERY_PARAM.
When B is invoked, within the same child, Apache::Registry DOES NOT reload
CGI.pm and therefore does not initialize any of the variables, etc. This
results in the new() call in B REUSING (!) the @QUERY_PARAM which was built up
during the new() call in A! OOOPS!
In order to make it work, I had to dig thru CGI.pm and found a function that's
in there with comments about mod_perl around it, specifically:
CGI::initialize_globals();
If I add this call in before both of the new() invocations, I get the desired,
expected results.
I'm not sure who to pin this on, mod_perl, Apache::Registry or CGI but it would
seem to me that this qualifies as a bug, somewhere.

@INC Not exported in older perl's?
Hi, I have been developing a web application using Apache and mod_perl. It consists of a single CGI perl script and many, many modules. The application was originally developed with perl 5.6. I moved it onto an i386 box running perl 5.005 and now there is a particular issue that I'm having trouble understanding. What happens is that an included module 'require's another module, but it's @INC is different than the one defined in the original, single CGI script. While one quick fix would be to simply add use lib '.' to the beginning of this particular module, I would rather diagnose the problem as I wonder why it's having this trouble. The error displayed using CGI.pm's carp is: Can't locate Time/DaysInMonth.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.005 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5 . /etc/apache/ /etc/apache/lib/perl) at ../lib/perl/Time/ParseDate.pm line 896 This does not include the directory included using use libs: use lib ../lib/perl; in the one cgi-bin file. The funny thing about this is that the module that is throwing the error's location happens to be ../lib/perl/Time/ParseDate.pm, which includes: require Time::DaysInMonth. Is there an easy solution to this? Am I missing something? Thank you, Elizabeth

Specifically, when Perl sees require() or use() in the code, it first tests C%INC to see whether the file is already there and thus loaded. If the test returns true, Perl saves the overhead of code re-reading and re-compiling; however calling do() will (re)load regardless. You generally don't notice with plain perl scripts, but in mod_perl it's used all the time; after the first request served by a process all the files loaded by require() stay in memory. If the file is preloaded at server startup, even the first request doesn't have the loading overhead. We use do() to reload the code in this file and not require() because while do() behaves almost identically to require(), it reloads the file unconditionally. If do() cannot read the file, it returns Cundef and sets C$! to report the error. If do() can read the file but cannot compile it, it returns Cundef and sets an error message in C$@. If the file is successfully compiled, do() returns the value of the last expression evaluated. 73, Ged.

PerlFreshRestart (Was: Re: Apache::Symbol-calling none-can('undef_functions'))
Hi
True, I had already read that doc also the
'Namespace' collision docs. However, there's no name
space collission in my scripts since:
1) The entire code with same config. works with old
mod_perl+perl+apache combo.
2) The errors that I get are like 'Undefined
subroutine File::Basename::basename called at ...'
Just before this if I check
File::Basename-can('basename') I get true if check
%INC, File/Basename.pm exists there. I also did an
explict symbol table check (using glob) found that
the function is there ! But funnily perl says it's
undefined subroutine ! The actual module method
names change randomly, even if I run with -X !
As for Apache::Reload, the problem is it's going to
stat all the files, which I don't want. Alternatively,
I'll have to put use Apcahe::Reload, which again is a
problem, since I have to modify many files they all
would be unnecessarily stat'ed. I just want Apache to
load all the modules, when I give a USR1 - I'm really
stuck at this !
(Another option I read somewhere is to compile
mod_perl as a DSO, in which case for every restart the
entire perl interp. is torn down reloaded - may be
I'll look into that)
Thanx
