SafeCWD Status
Whats the staus of the cwd and SafeThread? Will it work with a threaded MPM in Apache 2 yet and safely change to the working directory of the perl script (safecwd). -Joshua Bernstein Systems Administrator University of Arizona
Re: Working Directory
Sounds great? Does he have anything that I could play with? I'm really dying for that chdir(), my programmer says he depends on that functionality. I'd even volunteer to do some benchmarks and what not associated with the extra overhead of making the function thread safe. If its not really yet, what do you feel is currently the best work around? I've read through the archives and I'm just try to figure which one to use... -Josh Stas Bekman wrote: Elizabeth Mattijsen wrote: At 06:10 PM 7/16/02 +, Stas Bekman wrote: Arthur told me he either had, or was going to fix this (on IRC). Yup, Arthur is working on an external package (ex::threads::safecwd?) which should solve this problem. Viva Arthur! I'll keep you updated once it gets released. Check out Arthur's article on Perl.com: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/06/11/threads.html I read the article ;) The article doesn't say that there is going to be a module that will do all this work for you. I just wanted to share the happy news that such a module is about to emerge. Most of the people don't care how things are implemented, they just want to know that the API they use is thread-safe, which is how it should be with chdir() and friends. Though you realize that that this wrapper will incur a certain overhead, which needs to be benchmarked. And if that overhead is of any significant value, we should provide a switch to turn if off for those who don't rely on chdir() and therefore can get a better performance. I'm talking mainly about the Registry family in this case, but I can see that this functionality could be provided on the mod_perl core level (PerlSafeCwd flag?). __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
Re: solaris9+apache2+mod_perl2
Well I commented the little switch statement what was giving me the
problems and all seems to be resolved.
In src/modules/mod_perl.c I've commend the following out:
/*switch (rcfg-status) {
case HTTP_MOVED_TEMPORARILY:
retval = HTTP_MOVED_TEMPORARILY;
break;
}
*/
To my count thats lines 712-717... Just FYI
The only other thing that I've noticed while compiling is that I get
warings about duplicate definitions... Here is a sample of the Warning

Any one have any ideas? Oh and I'm running Solaris 9, with Apache
2.0.40cvs, it should also be noted that the mod_perl was pulled from
CVS on July 8th. Is this just a broken build?
Try again with the current cvs.

Working Directory
After just upgrading to mod_perl2 with Apache2. My current INC path includes a . on the end, which should reference the current working directory, and therefore correctly locate include locate in the script's working directory. The problem is that the Working Directory is set to /. My question is how can I set the working directory to be the location of where the script is running. (This would make mod_perl correctly locate file that I have included in the running script ie: require ./file.pl) Can this be done from within Apache? I've tried variations of PerlSetEnv but I can't seem to get it to work. I've even read the mod_perl2 user's guide. Thanks for your help.. -Joshua Bernstein Systems Administrator College of Engineering University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona, USA
