Also, I read about issues of database handlers becoming unstable across forks. So should I place this initialization information into a perl child init handler?

Global Config Module
I have a Perl Module that loads configuration data from various sources, ldap, ini, xml, etc. It was originally designed for batch file usage, but I want to start using it in some new mod_perl commerce site development I'm working on. Barring the usual global variable issues, what's the best approach to loading configuration data and having it available to all modules/scripts running under mod_perl? If I use the module in startup.pl, and have it load all of it's data at startup, it that the instance all child processes will use? Or would it be wiser to have the module save it's settings into ENV variables instead? On a side note, I'm fairly comfortable with Perl/OOP at the batch/command/cgi level, but the where's and whens of mod_perl still leave me a bit unclear. Thanks, -=Chris

Proxy authentication against a mod_perl backend - how?
Subject line says it all. I've recently reconfigured a web server to use the front-end proxy/back-end mod_perl configuration. One application runs happily on the mod_perl server, with static content being served from the proxy, and dynamic requests forwarded to the backend. However, I have a request to insert a bunch of static content onto the proxy server, which is fine. As an added requirement, the content is to be protected. Now, I could just use the standard Apache access files, but they're ugly, and get slow as they grow. Ideally, I'd like to use the backend database to hold the user information used for authentication. How can I configure the proxy (which doesn't have mod_perl) to authenticate against the back end? My first thoughts were to use mod_proxy to forward requests for /protected/login to the backend, where the authentication will be done. Then, just redirect the request to another URL behind /protected. The authentication information should be passed as part of the request, should it not? I'd also reverse proxy the URL's - I don't think this would work if I didn't. Am I on the right track here or not? -klm. --- Kenneth L. Miller, Consultant Shetland Software Services Inc.

Re: Global Config Module
In my limited understanding then, in the startup.pl, one could do the following: use strict; use MyMod::Config(); MyMod::Config::load(); Yes. Then you can have a function for accessing the config variables, or put them in globals ($MyMod::Config::database_password), or various other things. What about existing components the are normally created in scripts using new.. use strict; use MyMod::Config(); my $config = MyMod::Config-new(); What about them? That's a lexical variable, and not a problem. Since the use of globals is bad, should existing things be converted to pure packages instead of oop classes. Is it prefered in the mod_perl world to create packages rather than classes? I think you're getting your terminology a little mixed up. In Perl, packages are classes. And I'm not sure what globals you're talking about. What about statefull vs. stateless objects? Since users are not guaranteed to return to the same Apache process each time, you can't keep read/write data in memory between requests (at least not without some kind of expiration system). Read-only data, like your config info, is fine to keep in memory. If you want to keep some sort of global application state, use MLDBM::Sync or Cache::Cache. For user sessions, look at Apache::Session. - Perrin

Astronomical Information
Hi All, I have (for weeks) been trying to find a Perl Module (preferablly one that works under mod_perl) that does various astronomical calculations - in particular i want to be able to work out the distance of a planet (in our solar system) on a given date. Maybe i have been searching for the wrong keywords or been looking in the wrong places but i have tried AltaVista, Google, Some NewsGroups etc. There are references to C libraries that can do it (but aren't free) but no references to perl modules that can do the above. If anyone has any information on any such modules, i would apprecaite very much if you could share the modules with me (and possibly others by putting them on CPAN). simran.

Then, just redirect the request to another URL behind /protected. The authentication information should be passed as part of the request, should it not? Sure, but your proxy server won't be checking to see what it is. People could go to any of your proctected pages freely if they know the URL. Sounds like you're going to a lot of trouble to avoid using standard auth to me. There are a number of auth modules out there which don't need mod_perl, and you may find one that will play nicely with your backend programs. Modules that auth against MySQL or LDAP servers exist. If you're determined to do auth on the backend, I would just let the backend do the auth and serving of the static pages. It will dump them out fast and let the proxy servers do the slow work of dribbling the bytes out to clients. - Perrin

'tis was the first place i looked (but forgot to mention in my email) :-) but the modules there are rather limited in what they do.

Ordering in %INC for PerlRestart
Hi
I use PerlFreshRestart on to reload my modules. This
is the problem I face:
I have
PerlRequire bin/startup.pl
which requires a lot of perl modules. However, on
restart (kill USR1), mod_perl does something like:
%temp = %INC; %INC = ();
while (($k, $v) = each %temp)) { require $k; }
However, here my modules are getting loaded before the
PerlRequire'd is loaded (since %INC is a hash).
First, can some1 suggest a solution for this ?
I'd like to have the PerlRequire modules to load first
before the other modules.
One solution I could think of is to modify
perl_reload_inc() in perl_util.c to load
cls-PerlRequire, before loading anything else.
However, I find that cls-PerlRequire-nelts = 0,
eventhough it's 0 in perl_starup() in mod_perl.c.
Any clues as to why it's getting reset in
perl_reload_inc ??
Thanx for any suggestions.
Sreeji
(BTW, the same setup works w/o a problem in
mod_perl-1.19 using perl-5.005. Somehow, ordering of
%INC seems to be different in perl-5.6.1)
