Re: apache fails to work with mod_perl .. (old PerlRequireconf/startup.pl + more info)

I'm hoping you don't monitor some of the list is do so this isn't a - I'm already aware - idea. As I usnderstand it RHL 7.0 shipped with some experimental libraries and an experimental version of the c compiler instead of the stable vesion. Could this be some of the problem? Rant RedHat really sux sometimes. /Rant I concure. This is why I'm not touching the 7.0 release. Had big plans but then the bug reports started appearing. Heck last 'update' I did on my home system was from 5.2 to 6.1 ... after 6.2 was out! Didn't do any 6.x stuff at work until 6.1 was out. :-) Good luck, Rod -- Roderick A.

Solved, partially - Pointer to a CGI.pm list
I found _my_ error that caused me to send the original message. It was a perl thingy. Now I've got to get with the Camel book to find out if I can and how to do what I really wanted to do. Fyi, I was trying to pass the keys of a hash to the -values in a popup_menu (CGI.pm). Followed by the hash to the -labels. And I just now re-read (for the 10th plus time ) the reference section on 'popup_menu' in the CGI.pm book and see I could have done it without all the mucking about I was doing. RTFM, Then re-read it! Thanks to all that offered suggestions and pointers. Rod -- Roderick A. Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Altoplanos Information Systems, Inc.

Pointer to a CGI.pm list
Sorry but I've run out of sources. (Don't have netnews.) Is there a mailing list for CGI.pm? I've done all I can by reading the 'the book' and searching the net. Can't find anything like the symtoms I'm seeing. Actually the problem may be a lack of perl knowledge on my part but it manifests itself when using CGI.pm so I have to start there. Again sorry to ask here. Rod -- Roderick A. Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Altoplanos Information Systems, Inc. Voice: 208.765.6149212 S. 11th Street, Suite 5 FAX: 208.664.5299 Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814
[sOT] Apache::DBI Connection pooling vs. IIS (or Apache on NT)
Slightly off topic but I think interesting. If this have been covered sometime before about 4 months ago please point me there. I've taken on the support of a website that was designed as a student project. To make them feel warm and fuzzy the site was done using Windows NT, MS IIS, SQL Server 6.5, ODBC, and VBScript(?) (You've probably already seen some of my pleas for help and information). After finally getting it operating again I have to get prepared for a pile of hits. My reading indicates NT/IIS/SQL Server don't do well on a single machine, whereas UNIX(Linux)/Apache/PostgreSQL do. The things that strike me as performance plus' are the persistant database connections, pooled connections, and just mod_perl in general. So the question is does IIS have these features? If not, or even if so, would Apache and PostgreSQL on NT have these benefits? Rod -- Roderick A. Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Altoplanos Information Systems, Inc.

semi/pseudo mod_perl question
Not strickly mod_perl so I've put on my flame retardent suit. I've seen several references to Apache::ASP (and mod_perl) but haven't been able to figure out quite what it does/provides. The Apache::ASP pages says something to the effect 'Active Server Pages using perl'. My question is can I dump an IIS website (and edit paths etc.) onto an Apache server site running Apache::ASP and expect resonable results? I.e. it will run? BACKGROUND: We're providing support for a non-profit organization that was originally designed and supported by a group of students at a local university. Things didn't go quite right and the non-profit had to move to a new location and find commercial support. We're doing the support (at a _VERY_ reduced rate) but picking up all the pieces from a NT Server and a cute concept they (the students) called OOHTML is interesting to say the least. My experience with IIS and NT is minimal so I'm looking for a quick solution until I can move them into the Real World (UNIX and Apache). So if Apache::ASP isn't what I need can anyone point me towards an ASP translator or emulator? TIA, Rod -- Roderick A. Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Altoplanos Information Systems, Inc.
