startup file

[Paul Phillips]

Hello, all,

I'm quite noew to modperl.  I've written a cgi, using cgi.pm that I am 
moving to modperl.  The cgi is written as one main program, with a number 
of subroutines spread across three libraries that are required into the 
main program.

If I list the main program in my startup file, so it is loaded on server 
startup, does it load the external libraries as well?

Thanks,

comparison of html/perl methodologies

[Paul Phillips]

Hello,

I have written a fairly good sized CGI using CGI.pm that I ran first as a 
standalone, then under modperl.

Now, I'm interested in looking at web authoring from the reverse 
perspective - embedding Perl in html.

A quick look tells me that there are a number of possibilities out there --
Apache ASP
Mason
Embperl
HTML::Template

There are probably some others as well...

After having looked at their respective web sites, I seem to be having 
trouble understanding how these are different from one another and their 
relative strengths and weaknesses.

Would anyone care to take a stab at making some kind of summary of 
distinctive qualities, goals, etc.

Thanks,
Paul Phillips

compiling troubles on Solaris 8

[Paul Phillips]

Hello,

I am trying to build mod_perl 1.26 and Apache 1.3.20 on my Solaris 8 box. 
I have installed the additional CD with the developer tools including the 
gnu utilities and gcc.

When I first started, it did not seem to be using gcc, so I renamed 
/usr/ucb/cc to cc.default, and make /usr/ucb/cc a link to gcc.

That seemed to get me further.  However, I have reached a fatal error, and 
don't have a clue what this means.  The error messages are quoted below.

I am trying to do the simplest build possible, following the INSTALL 
instructions. So after unzipping and untarring apache and mod_perl, from 
within the mod_perl distribution directory, I type
perl Makefile.PL
I confirm that I want it build from ../apache_1.3.20/src, and that I want 
to store the new httpd in that directory.

Then I type make.  After a bit, I get this:

mkdir ../blib/arch/auto/Apache/Leak
mkdir ../blib/lib/auto/Apache/Leak
cp Leak.pm ../blib/lib/Apache/Leak.pm

`../blib/arch/auto/Apache/Leak/Leak

I have no idea what is wrong, or how to fix it, so I would appreciate any 
help.

thanks!
