The /src directory could contain my modperl files and a Makefile that knows the dependencies; when I type "make", it will evaluate the modperl files and parse them into plain HTML files in the /html directory. i've had great success with squid in http accelerator mode. we squeezed a factor of 100 in speed with just that. :) however, i have been talking to a few people about something like a mod_makefile. :) -- brian d foy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Perl hacker for hire
offer of resources for Take23
i don't think my responses to yesterday's discussion made it to the list, so here's a summary: Smith Renaud or Perl Mongers can donate rack space, infrastructure, and other support to a new, canonical mod_perl site. we can either provide a box (which we then control, sysadmin and policy-wise), or put a donated box in our rack (which someone else could control). we can also supply a squid box in front of either of those. we have the things you would expect (backup power, backups, etc) and if someone needs something else (console server, reboot server, etc) that is not a huge problem. Matt mentioned that take23 is now behind a 64k leased line, so i'm sure that the dual T3s leading out of our facility (which are shared with all of our other things) might look attractive. ;) if this offer is attractive i can even try to get someone to donate a box if the idea of a sponsor link or some such is okay. and, if no-one likes any of that, we could at least mirror it. ;) -- brian d foy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Director of Technology, Smith Renaud, Inc. 875 Avenue of the Americas, 2510, New York, NY 10001 V: (212) 239-8985

Utilizing SSL with Apache is indeed a very simple modification to Apache when there is not database parsing happening in the same process. both of those work fine together. perhaps they are having other issues. -- brian d foy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Director of Technology, Smith Renaud, Inc. 875 Avenue of the Americas, 2510, New York, NY 10001 V: (212) 239-8985 -- brian d foy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Director of Technology, Smith Renaud, Inc. 875 Avenue of the Americas, 2510, New York, NY 10001 V: (212) 239-8985

Lots of open source projects are short on useful documentation Perl Mongers can host, mirror, or otherwise support whomever gets blessed as the caretaker of the canonical mod_perl site. all the normal shell things are available and we're setting up a squid caching server and the normal CVS things to go along with that. anything else that is needed can be arranged. how fast we can do this is only limited by how much stuff we can move into some new racks before everyone takes off for the holidays ;) -- brian d foy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Director of Technology, Smith Renaud, Inc. 875 Avenue of the Americas, 2510, New York, NY 10001 V: (212) 239-8985

Logging real HTTP status
let's suppose that i want to change the HTTP status to be something other
than i'm going to return from the handler(). is there a way to get the
logging phase to log the status that the user-agent got rather than the
return value of the handler()?
here's my small script which illustrates what i'm trying to do:
sub mod_perl_error
{
# a request object is the first argument
# in handler, return mod_perl_error($r);
$_[0]-status( SERVER_ERROR );
$_[0]-content_type('text/html');
$_[0]-send_http_header;
$_[0]-print("There was an oopsie.");
return DONE; # the log ends up with status 200
}
