Apache::Cookie
i have an application that uses CGI and sets the cookie values as a hashref.
im then attempting to retreive the values with Apache::Cookie with:
$cookies = Apache::Cookie-fetch;
$ccokies is a hashref so i should be able to get the individual values with:
$cookies-{uid};
right? however, this doesn't appear to work.

Not reading $ENV variable
Hi all,
I'm seeing a weird thing. Sometimes my script sees nothing in the
$ENV{HTTP_REFERER} variable. Im not sure what is causing this. It works
some of the time.
I do this at the begining of the script...heres the code:
my $r = Apache-request;
use DBI;# for connecting to the database
my $refer_url = $ENV{HTTP_REFERER};
basically the script takes form data and inserts it to a db then returns
back to the refering page.
Thanks for any ideas

Re: Missing html code using dynagzip
I guess, your problem is out of Apache::Dynagzip. Please, try to follow: 1. Make sure your script is producing correct response under Apache::Registry. 2. Make sure your script does not have any internal conditional branches on whether it runs under Apache::Registry, or under Apache::RegistryFilter - Apache::Dynagzip. 3. Do your transition from Apache::Registry configuration to Apache::RegistryFilter - Apache::Dynagzip configuration by simple replacement of the line: PerlHandler Apache::Registry with the following two lines: PerlHandler Apache::RegistryFilter Apache::Dynagzip PerlSetVar Filter On You may optionally add light compression finally if you want. You are not supposed to change any other settings. 4. Let us know details of what you finally have.

Using Apache::ReadConfig and method handlers
I want to assign a method handler from within the Apache::ReadConfig
namespace. Right now, what I have is some function which somewhat
resembles:
package My::Object;
sub method1 {
my $self=shift;
package Apache::ReadConfig;
no strict;
$Location{'/some/URL/'} = {
Options = '+ExecCGI',
PerlHeaderParserHandler = sub {$self-some_other_method;}
};
But when I browse to /some/URL, some_other_method never gets called, let
alone by $self
Any advice?

Re: Not reading $ENV variable
Hello,
CPI'm seeing a weird thing. Sometimes my script sees nothing in the
CP$ENV{HTTP_REFERER} variable. Im not sure what is causing this. It
CPworks some of the time.
You are never guaranteed to receive a Referer header; first of all, it is
sent by the client, and the HTTP client involved has no obligation to set
it at all on outgoing requests--it's just a convention that most desktop
browsers follow. Second, some application level HTTP proxies block
outgoing Referer headers for security reasons. Finally, it's possible that
a user bookmarked a page or typed in a URL and hence no Referer was
involved at all.
Humbly,
Andrew

What are you trying to do? You know you can only do this sort of thing
during server startup, right? After startup, you can still push

No - this is at startup. It's also, to the best of my knowledge, the *only*
way to push handlers onto a dynamic URL (eg, where the URL is a variable) -
which is what I'm trying to do.
This worked fine when it was just:
PerlHeaderParserHandler = __PACKAGE__.::some_handler;
Now, I'm realizing it should be something more akin to:
PerlHeaderParserHandler = ref($self).-some_method;
But even that's not working...

I was referring to the $r-push_handlers method which you can use when
handling a request.

That doesn't look like the syntax in the docs:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#Perl_Method_Handlers
Or here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/method_handlers.html
If you really want an object method and not a class method, you need to
do something like this:
PerlHeaderParserHandler = sub {
my $r = shift;
$self-some_method($r);
}
I never use Apache::ReadConfig, so my syntax could be off, but hopefully you get the
idea.

Right - for $r-push_handlers, I do that:.
$r-push_handlers(PerlFixupHandler,sub {return $self-uf_handler(@_);});
# A lot more elegant than the example in the Guide, IMHO
But that's not what's needed for Apache::ReadConfig, I think - Here, we
don't expect a sub reference, but rather the *name* of the routine (in the
Apache::ReadConfig namespace) which we want to run... I'm still
experimenting.

[patch] Apache::DBI can't be made to always ping
We've been having some problems with our Oracle 8.1.5 database on AIX, which has
highlighted what looks like a problem with Apache::DBI. To cut a very long story
short, due to an Oracle problem database handles are becoming invalid reasonably
frequently. In this case, we would expect Apache::DBI to ping on each connect
request as the ping timeout is set to zero. However, it has been returning dead
handles. Enabling the trace feature showed that it did not always ping, the
problem being that if there is a request for a handle within one second, even if
the ping timeout is zero it will not ping.
A patch for this follows, it is simply a matter of changing the time test from a
to a = in line 103 of version 0.88:
my $needping = (($PingTimeOut{$dsn} == 0 or $PingTimeOut{$dsn} 0) and $now -
$LastPingTime{$dsn} = PingTimeOut{$dsn}) ? 1 : 0;
So far as I can tell this still applies to the most recent version. I would like
to ask the maintainer of this module if this patch or equivalent fix could be
included in the next release of the module.
Apologies if this message is posted to the wrong place, I think I got it
right...

I see the problem. There is mistake in the Apache::Cookie

The problem with this trace is that it doesn't show the arguments. You need to
build mod_perl with MP_DEBUG=1 and generate it again.

Apache::Status for 2.0 ?
Please bear with me -- I have recently picked up Apache2 and now trying out mod_perl2 I see Apache::Status listed under the mod_perl2 docs - http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/Status.html But I only see mod_perl 1.27 on the CPAN site; Is there another place to obtain a mod_perl2 type module? ( I did search the archives as best I was able - but I only see postings about Apache::Status since 1999... ) I am not real sure I want to install mod_perl1 over my mod_perl2 Apache2 server code... ???/Sx ?

That's a bogus code. Obviously you are running without warnings mode on. Add:
use warnings;
and you will see why it is bogus. Perhaps your cookie was always valid so you
didn't notice it. Howerer:
perl -lwe '%h = undef'
Name main::h used only once: possible typo at -e line 1.
Odd number of elements in hash assignment at -e line 1.
Use of uninitialized value in list assignment at -e line 1.

USE_ENVIRON_ARRAY
Hi - I'm working on an embedding project, and using mod_perl as a tutorial (OK, I'm sometimes blatantly stealing code :)). My tests on a WIN32 box (Win2K) are somewhat flaky. Linux is solid. A grep of mod perl source on WIN32 led me to so pretty strange environment array spoofing based upon #ifdef USE_ENVIRON_ARRAY in modperl_perl.c. The only greps to USE_ENVIRON_ARRAY are in modperl_perl.c. NO greps in the Perl source. NO references (that I could find) on the mod_perl web site. Does anyone know if this is used? If so, where can I look to get an idea of what it is for (my guess is to tell whether or not to pass the environment array to perl_... calls)? Aloha = Beau;
ANNOUNCE: CGI::Application 3.1
Version 3.1 of CGI::Application is now available via CPAN! Download site for CGI::Application: http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Application/ CHANGES SINCE VERSION 3.0: - Changed dump_html default run-mode to be referenced by name instead of sub-ref. This allows dump_html() to be overridden in sub-class. - Added current run-mode to output of dump() and dump_html(). (Thanks to Mark Stosberg for the suggestion.) - Added example of doing an HTTP redirect (suggested by Sam Tregar) - Fixed bug where non-CGI.pm query objects couldn't be set at initialization time via the new() method. (Thanks to Steve Hay for the catch.) - Added header_type(none) to suppress HTTP header output. (Thanks to Steve Comrie for the suggestion.) - Numerous typos corrected in POD. - Added cgiapp_postrun() hook. This hook allows run-mode output to be pipelined through optional filters, modifying the content and HTTP headers if so desired. Read the article Using CGI::Application on Perl.com for an overview of this module and its usage: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/06/05/cgi.html CGI::Application is intended to make it easier to create sophisticated, reusable web-based applications. This module implements a methodology which, if followed, will make your web software easier to design, easier to document, easier to write, and easier to evolve. CGI::Application builds on standard, non-proprietary technologies and techniques, such as the Common Gateway Interface and Lincoln D. Stein's excellent CGI.pm module. CGI::Application judiciously avoids employing technologies and techniques which would bind a developer to any one set of tools, operating system or web server. The guiding philosophy behind CGI::Application is that a web-based application can be organized into a specific set of Run-Modes. Each Run-Mode is roughly analogous to a single screen (a form, some output, etc). All the Run-Modes are managed by a single Application Module which is a Perl module. In your web server's document space there is an Instance Script which is called by the web server as a CGI (or an Apache::Registry script if you're using Apache + mod_perl). CGI::Application is an Object-Oriented Perl module which implements an Abstract Class. It is not intended that this package be instantiated directly. Instead, it is intended that your Application Module will be implemented as a Sub-Class of CGI::Application.

mod_perl and CGI.pm and version 1.x and hell
Hello! after being a long time away (over 4 years since my last post on this list), I started again with some development with mod_perl for this company that I currently work for. I'm having some trouble with CGI.pm working with mod_perl2. I searched the mailing-list for this and I found many different point of views for this problem, some say it should work, and some say it doesn't. I've tested it and it really doesn't work as is. This guy clearly says that CGI.pm is incompatible with mod_perl2: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperlm=103619647305553w=2 This isn't really a big problem, but I have 3 ways out: 1) help make CGI.pm compatible with mod_perl2 if at all possible 2) replace all CGI.pm calls with simple homemade cgi functions (not difficult, it's just that we have to correct many scripts that already count on CGI.pm), or use that Apache::compat thing 3) downgrade apache to 1.3.27 and mod_perl to 1.27 and be happy Option 3 seems okay, excect for the fact that I am that kind of Linux user that is always upgrading everything to the latest version possible. This applies to linux kernel, apache, etc. I don't really have a reason to do this, but I have always done it anyway. So to use apache 1.3.27 and mod_perl 1.27 goes against my nature. Am I going to hell if I do this? Seriously, does mod_perl2 offer much more features and benefits then mod_perl1? I really only care for speed and stability for simple perl scripts that use CGI/DBI/DBD::mysql modules. Is it okay if I use mod_perl and apache 1.x today, or it's better to move to 2.x already? Thanks, Henrique.
