Absolutely agree. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel. I don't see why a complete app server system couldn't be put together in such a way as to allow the use of the individual technologies on their own.

Re: [OT] The $64K question/server hardware
I can vouch for that. We had a site running some distance ed software. The *nix version ran like a champ and would stay up and running for months. The NT version? Would require pre-emptive reboots to try and prevent unscheduled system downtimes. Also, the server would just crap out without rhyme or reason - nothing in the logs, no Dr. Watsons, nada. THe only way to bring it back to life would be a reboot because stopping/starting services was ineffective.

OK, I'm nearing the end of one project so I'm able to take a look at new solutions so one question comes to mind. What does the template toolkit offer above and beyond HTML::Embperl or some other templating solution?

Re: mod_eprl or PHP
Obviously not the same stuff as you ;-) You missed my point, even though you reiterated it in your statement... How can you make a valid comparison between mod_perl against PHP? You can't because they are different beasts and serve different purposes. That's why I said it would be more valid to compare JSP against mod_perl - similar technologies.

Re: unauthentication
Unless you use a solution like Apache::AuthCookie, TicketAccess, etc. (where you issue an authorization ticket) inconjunction with your NT-domain then the answer to your question is no. The only way to reliably logout someone is to have them shutdown their browser. Reason being is that authorization/authentication credentials are cached by the browser - if you use one of the above solutions you can expire the access ticket there by denying access.

How to pass and process a large array of strings in HTMEmbperl
I'm trying to pass a large array of strings to a Embperl document whose sole
purpose is to display fatal errors. The method errors() returns an array reference
to an array that contains the following strings:
Mail address error: Missing street address
Mail address error: Missing city/province
Mail address error: Invalid or missing zip code
Work address error: Invalid union name
Missing or invalid home phone number
I've tried the following:
http://[+$ENV{SERVER_NAME}+]/error.epl?msg=[+$a->errors()+]">Errors
It works to the point that it returns all the errors messages in this link but when I
click on the link error.epl doesn't seem to receive all the strings. The actual
expansion of this becomes:
http://localhost/error.epl?msg=Mail+address+error:+Missing+street+address=
Mail+address+error:+Missing+city/province&Mail+address+error:+Invalid+or+missing+
country=Mail+address+error:+Invalid+or+missing+zip+code&Missing+or+invalid+home+phone+
number=">Errors
If in error.epl I have the following: [+ $fdat{msg} +] nothing is displayed.
TIA.

Re: Embperl and header output
The code works properly it was just a problem with
display_errors_as_html() method that was sending data to STDOUT.
Thanks to Gerald for showing me the error of my ways... He pointed out
that I needed to set the EMBPERL_OPTIONS to redirect output to the
Embperl stream... This solved my problem.

Embperl and header output
I've sent this to this list already once before so I apologize for resubmitting
this problem.
This application works fine so long as there are no errors. If there are validation
errors what is suppose to happen is the errors are to be displayed at the top of the
HTML doc followed by the form allowing the user to correct any input errors.
The problem is that the errors are being displayed, then the HTTP header is being
sent,
then the actual HTML doc is being sent. Additionally, the status bar reads
"Reading file..." for approximately 10 seconds before finally indicating "Document:
Done".
An example of the output generated follows:
ERROR(S):
Application submission failed: Student record exists already
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

HTMLEmbperl - manually setting %fdat during runtime...
What I am trying to do is pass the value of the application_id onto the
next form. application_id is not know until the initial screen has been
filled out properly and submitted. After the error checking and
application submission I then attempt to set $fdat{'application_id'} to
the application id value so I can pass it along to the next form screen
Here's the basic jist of what I want to do...
[-
error checking...
$fdat{'application_id'} = 'some value';
-]
[$ if( ( $new_applicant ) || ( $errors ) ) $]
new application form...
[$ else $]
http://172.17.30.38/Nactel/common/error.epl?[+ [%fdat]
+]">Next
[$ endif $]
Examining the query string on the href shows all the other form data
that was filled in and passed back to this app except that
application_id manually set has no value.
TIA

Passing params in Embperl...
I realize that that this is probably something incredibly easy that I've
just overlooked while reading the docs so I apologize ahead of time...
I need to pass a value that is dynamically generated at run time to the
next Embperl doc. I've tried doing the following:
$fdat{'application_id'} = 'some value'; and I've also tried using the
Apache::Session option of $udat{'application_id'} but when I read either
of these values in the next form it's blank.
Here's what happens... I have an initial page of an online
application. When submit is hit it returns to itself to perform error
checking, if there are no errors then the client is automatically
redirected to the next page of the application form.
Is setting $fdat{application_id} to a value enough to pass this along to
the next form or do I need to somehow provide this in the URL prior to
doing the redirect?

Re: HTMLEmbperl 1.2.0 HTTP header
The psuedocode snippet looks something like this (the actual listing is
too huge)
[-
if passed data
perform error checking
else
$new_entry = 1;
-]
[$ if( ($new_entry) || ($f->errors()) ) $]
[+ $f->display_errors_as_html(); +]
blank form stuff...
[$ else $]
[-
use Apache;
use Apache::Constants qw(REDIRECT);
$req_rec->header_out("Location" => 'url_to_redirect_to');
$req_rec->status(REDIRECT);
-]
[$ endif $]
Note: The display_errors_as_html method doesn't send out any headers of
it's own.
The blank form gets display correctly and if there are no errors the
redirect works properly.
HTMLEmbperl 1.2.0 HTTP header
I have an online form that uses Embperl. When the submit button is clicked the action is to submit the form data back to this same document. Error checking and data validation is performed and if any errors are found they are printed out at the very top of the form. Any and all output is done AFTER the beginning of the opening body tag yet when I display errors I get the following error right after the errors messages: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 14:57:12 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) mod_perl/1.21 Content-Length: 4563 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html The rest of the form is then displayed without a problem. I've checked my code for any extraneous print or output commands that would cause apache to send a header out but found none. Any ideas? -- __ Mr. Erich L.

HTML::Embperl 1.2.0
Just upgraded to v1.2.0 from 1.1.1 and ran into a problem. I have a document that contained an if else statement that basically checked to see if there were any parameters being passed. [$ if( ! defined %fdat ) $] display blank form [$ else $] redirect somewhere [$ endif $] This worked in 1.1.1 but quickly found that the behavior changed in 1.2.0. I had to test for an actual value in %fdat. Has this been changed or is this a bug? BTW, great piece of software.
