RTF/MSword Generation from PERL
Hi All, I have an online FAQ. Running under IIS 5.0/Win2k/PerlEx with ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 ... sorry can't run 5.8.0 yet The answers to the FAQ questions contain jpegs, bmps, and gifs I'd like to repeatably generate RTF/MSWord 97 files from XHTML1.0 Transitional webpages 1 per FAQ (webpage) and 1 large ~300MB for the whole site. I know I can use RTF::Writer and some other HTML::* modules [Thanks Sean M. Burke :) ] . but I'm a little iffy on the embedding of images in it ? It can be done since win2k app, 'write', supports it but via PERL ? Also, does anyone have a link handy to the full spec ? I can't seem to get any good search results on search.cpan.org for MSWord is there a different phrase I should be looking for ? Would SP/jade be a better solution ? Thanks in advance.

If you'll read carefully, you'll see that I'm talking about mod_perl 1.x
not mod_perl 2.
Otherwise, I would completely agree. The _exact_ same code _does_ work
under mod_perl2.
I also see that the problem Bart was referring to was fixed in 2.93

It's a a CGI.pm problem, really. We can't go and support all possible

have this section:

We probably should specify the version number of each of these
modules. Can somebody please lookup those modules and send me a patch
with the version number which starts to support mod_perl 2.0?
No need for Apache::Peek, CGI and CGI::Cookie since I know these
versions already.
I'm CC'ing Shannon, since he has ported most of the auth modules.
The 'Configuring mod_perl2.0 page for win32' at
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/config.html would a nice

Certainly not there, since it's windows specific and CGI.pm is used

Re: porting from mod_perl1 to mod_perl2
If you check out the changes to CGI.pm on Licoln Stiens web site, utf8 was added via a path by someone else 2.99 - 3.00 likely this is the cause. Stas Bekman wrote: Perrin Harkins wrote: I am fairly sure it is not perl5.8. I'm fairly sure it is. What is your locale set to? Are you on Red Hat? See previous discussions of locale issues on Red Hat 8 and 9 in the list archives. Bart is on win32, AS Perl 5.8. I doubt it's a locale issue, since it's the client who decides what encoding the data is in, it's either CGI.pm (guessing that what he was using to parse the forms) or more low level (io) issues. Bart, can you test whether you have the same problem when a run the same code under mod_cgi in Apache2 (with perl5.8 ofcourse)? If not, that will point the blaming finger towards mod_perl 2.0. Someone volunteers to add a new test? See t/modperl/print_utf8.t t/response/TestModperl/print_utf8.pm for an example of testing the responding with utf8 data. You can probably adopt one of these couples for testing the posting of utf8 data: t/apache/cgihandler.t t/response/TestApache/cgihandler.pm t/modules/cgi.t t/response/TestModules/cgi.pm t/modules/cgiupload.t t/response/TestModules/cgiupload.pm of course you will want to create a new couple of files for this test. __ 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 -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html

I recently took shit for doing this, and I know at the _very_ least this
is correctly from a security standpoint as now _ALL_ our code is out of

Also, documenting where a function is located ?
I like the namespace prefix
package HomeScreens;
@EXPORT = (

sub hs_* {

sub not_exported_func { }
VS
Export nothing
and use HomeScreens::hs_*();
I'd like to hear agruments for and against.

Re: mod_perl fails tests
That parameter is a *mod_perl* not an *apache* one it decides where the .pm files and such are installed whether in a directory 'Apache' or 'Apache2'. It will become the default eventually. But for now, its useful If you had 2 webservers 1.3.x and 2.0.x using the same version of perl say 5.8.x . Its lack of is also useful for Maintaining comaptibility with 1.x Modules not yet ported over.

Apache+Modperl Website Statistics
Alright, I've been getting along pretty well so far here. Now I need an
extra feature though. Resolution Stats (i.e. 1024x768 or 800x600)
I've got an apache-1.3.24 server with mod_perl-1.26
running.
in my httpd.conf, I've added
PerlLogHandler P6M7G8::Stats::DBILog
Which I have already written.
It gets Operating System Types, Browser Types, Date/Time, Cookie
information, Bytes transfered, CPU time taken, etc...
I know perl is server side and javascript is client side.
AFAIK, getting the resolution is a client side thing.
I know I can embed an html page with javascript in it that redirects to
a perl file setting the query string with width=1024;height=768
i.e.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use CGI;
print Content-Type: text/html\n\n;
print CGI-start_html();
print qq {
script type=text/javascript
!--
var width = screen.width;
var height = screen.height;
var next=/cgi-bin/stats.cgi?Width=' + width + ';Height=' + height;
window.location = eval(next);
//--
/script
};
print CGI-end_html();
But, I need to find someway to do this without the extra redirect.
Is their anyway I can assign a perl scalar to the value of height and
width ? Also, it has to at least work in IE4.0+ NS4.0+ and Mozilla .98+ on
Windos, Linux, and Unix platforms.
As you can see the PerlLogHandler runs once for every request, and this
redirect would really get annoying and slow.
Any great ideas ?

Re: Apache+Modperl Website Statistics
Well I've basically taken your route the first time I tried to do this a year ago. The other problem is that this requires the vistors go to this particular page. If they bookmark to another page or type the url of a sublink, this is bypassed, and I loose the statistical information. My problem is that the PerlLogHandler I've set up isn't actually supposed to ever display anything to the browser. (I don't think any PerLogHandler anyone writes should send anything to the browser as is basically an extension to use instead of the apache's access_log file. Although it could if you had a good reason. In order for the javascript I gave to get values it has to be sent to the browser on a page so its processed my the javascript engine in the browsers.

Since, as you already realize, there is no way to get the client information from the server size, I think the best you can do would be something along the lines of: have a javascript enabled page that gets the height and width of the client (as you've shown), that then redirects the client to a location that can read the height and width from the query string and set a session cookie, which can then be read and acted upon for every subsequent request by a PerlTransHandler or RewriteRule. Does that sound reasonable? (darren) -- Pessimests are right more often, but optimists are happy more often.

attempting this bit of code:
if ($expired eq 'true') {

$r-header_out(Location = $redirect);

The behavior from this bit of code is just as if I had returned OK.
My other idea is to just write a note on the board and have a downstream
content handler do the redirection, but I was hoping to roll it all into
one package, since the problem, password expiration, is most directly tied
to authentication.

Re: problems with $r-status('OK')
you'll want to do
use Apache::Constants qw(OK);
and change that to
$r-status(OK);
as OK is actually defined as a constant function

Hello,
I have two scripts, call them A and B. Here's what I'm doing (paraphrased
heavily to save posting a huge pile of code):
In data.html, I have:
!--#include virtual=A?action=show --
In A, I have:
$q = new CGI;
show() if $q-param('action') eq 'show';
sub show
{
Apache::Include-virtual(B?action=remove);
}
In B, I have:
$q = new CGI;
show() if $q-param('action') eq 'show';
remove() if $q-param('action') eq 'remove';
sub show
{
print B::show()\n;
}
sub remove
{
print B::remove()\n;
}
Inveriably, I end up with B::show() in my output, not at all what I wanted,
expected or hoped for.
What I see happening is that Apache::Registry is loading CGI.pm into the httpd
child the first time it encounters a script that uses it. This runs a number
of functions within CGI.pm which set up variables, etc. The call to new() in A
then reads the query (GET or POST, doesn't matter) into @QUERY_PARAM.
When B is invoked, within the same child, Apache::Registry DOES NOT reload
CGI.pm and therefore does not initialize any of the variables, etc. This
results in the new() call in B REUSING (!) the @QUERY_PARAM which was built up
during the new() call in A! OOOPS!
In order to make it work, I had to dig thru CGI.pm and found a function that's
in there with comments about mod_perl around it, specifically:
CGI::initialize_globals();
If I add this call in before both of the new() invocations, I get the desired,
expected results.
I'm not sure who to pin this on, mod_perl, Apache::Registry or CGI but it would
seem to me that this qualifies as a bug, somewhere.

MS+HTML - Unix
Say I have a webpage where I want to offer people the ability to upload either a .txt or a .html file. Now these people basically are computer illierate, and don't even konw that UNIX is different from Microsh$t. At anyrate, they will use Save as (HTML) from MSWord 97/2000, Save as (txt), or worse yet, Save as RTF. Then upload that. Big surprise it gets it really wrong basically meaning it doesn't format correctly before or after they use the site in any Browser. One file, tidy told me had over 300 errors and that was just with HTML4.01 not XHTML1.0. Is there anyway I can on the fly take the messed up HTML file I get and covert it to what they meant to give me. Important cases : Parrell Columns not in a table Bullets DIR tags actually closing u tags so the whole page isn't underlined. I've see the demoronizer port, but don't know that much about it, and I don't think its quite what I want. Basically I have to take html given me and make the html they mean.

Actually I tried that exact configure line one of the millions I tried it for perl, and it got to make, where I got millions of undefined PL_* errors. I can't control what patches they have or have not applied... Is there anyway I can check myself ? I'm more of a BSD/FreeBSD expert. -- Philip M.

I have system (Solaris 2.6) which I do NOT have root on... (now I know why that doesn't happen often) At anyrate, I need to install perl5.6.1 ... I'll pay anyone able to do without using a binary release (on this particular solaris system (yes its that bad), Apache Apache-1.3.22 from source, and mod_perl1.26 So I get the binary release of perl installed. Then I install apache /virtual/www/sdu/perl/ /virtual/www/sdu/apache All fine and good. Then I try mod_perl-1.26 It tells me my PERL is compiled with -lpthreads and to use LIBS=-lpthread for my httpd... Well I had to recompile apache to do this, no big deal, done...

Re: Ticket systems
I am using Apache1.3.22/mod_perl1.26 with mod_usertrack.c
from httpd.conf
#User Tracking
LoadModule usertrack_module libexec/mod_usertrack.so
AddModule mod_usertrack.c
CookieTracking on
SetEnvIf Request_URI (\.gif|\.jpeg|\.js|\.css)$ junk
CustomLog /usr/local/sites/dev/logs/clickstream
%{cookie}n|%H|%m|%f|%U%q|%{User-agent}i|%{%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S}t env=!junk
Along with a cron job and MySQL to gather the Website Statistics
But on this site, I also have say a Admin Section or a WWW Posting Board
The user doesn't have to log into until they go to that section at which point
I use the following modules to authenticate them against MySQL and give them a
cookie only if they auth correctly (Careful, Apache::Cookie is broken as far as
I can tell with Apache::Session::MySQL hence the CGI)
use Apache;
use Apache::Request ();
use Apache::Constants qw(OK REDIRECT);
use Apache::Session::MySQL;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use DBI;

Hello,
I'm on a mission ta make a web-site that uses cookies for user log-in
and log-out. First I'd like to know which one you suggest - Ticket
system from Eagle book or Apache::AuthTicket. I know that
Apache::AuthTicket is based on Eagle book's version, but it seems little
more advanced.
And now second problem. Has anyone modified one of these modules so,
that when user first enters the site he will get a cookie immediately
(with random generated ID) and can walk around there. And if he logs in
then the cookie gets modified accordingly (saying that user is logged
in).
Here's the situation. I must make a site for insurance company. User can
browse the site and see which offers he can get, if he wants to make a
deal only then he must log in. But all the data that is calculated must
be stored in dbase waiting for user to log in, so system can then, err,
bind this temporary data with current user. But of course user can log
in anytime he wants - even between different calculation steps.
Any ideas are welcome.
Rgds,
Viljo
mod_perl : HELP (am I going nuts ?)
The following short test script :
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use Apache;
my $r = shift;
my %params = $r-method eq 'POST' ? $r-content : $r-args;
$r-send_http_header('text/html');
print Name = [, $params{'Name'}, ]br /;
print R = [ , $r, ]br /;
print Mehtod = [, $r-method, ]br /;
print Content = [, $r-content, ]br /;
print Args = [, $r-args, ]br /;
Now lets say I goto http://www.dev.p6m7g8.com/perl-reg/test.pl?Name=p6m7g8
which is the above file
Gives output :
Name = []
R = [Apache=SCALAR(0x80d3aac)]
Mehtod = [GET]
Content = []
Args = []
Comming from CGI.pm, I know you can pass parameters like the Name(above) for
urls, but with mod_perl (aka Apache::*) All I can get at are variables inside
form/form in an html page.
Am I missing something, am I going nuts ?
PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I AM NOT DOING RIGHT HERE !
Thanks in advance for all you kind souls out there!
