PDF's [OT I THINK]
not sure where to start looking for some info, so I thought here first I need to be able to print pdf's from an apache webserver using perl... I know usually that just an link to the file is sufficient, but these files are outside of the /var/www/path to webserver. 2 questions really.. 1st - does anyone have any info on this 2nd - could someone point in to a resource.. many thanks geoff
Re: Finding if SSL is enabled on backend ..
A solution is to have the the mod_perl server listen on two different ports (.i.e 8000 and 8001) and have the mod_rewrite proxy rule in the regular server redirect to port 8000 and the mod_rewrite proxy rule in the SSL virtual host redirect to port 8001. In the mod_perl server then just check the PORT variable to tell if the connect is encrypted or not. Joseph R.

Re: mod_perl Programmers demand is going up...
I might as well pile on :-) At TimeBills.com (www.timebills.com) we are looking for smart, talented mod_perl/perl developers to help us build a complete suite of small business applications. We are location in Boston (Back bay for now, moving to South Station in January). Seed funded and in the final throes of a solid first round of VC funding. Open Source shop as much as possible, Linux, Apache, Mod_perl, CVS, Emacs etc. We have a really good, fun crew, good option packages, experienced management, lots of upside etc. Check out our web site, play with the application and if you are interested drop me an email. -- Geoff Crawshaw CTO TimeBills.com Inc.

Stop stat() of script
Any pointers on how to stop apache from stat()'ing and reloading a script (running under mod_perl) that has changed on disk? -- Geoff Crawshaw TimeBills.com Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.timebills.com

Re: Image::Magick and mod_perl
One solution is to use the 2 server setup described at http://perl.apache.org/guide/scenario.html#One_Plain_and_One_mod_perl_enabl and have the lightweight proxy server handle the upload as a regular CGI process, after the file has uploaded redirect to a mod_perl process for further processing. You can have a lot of lighweight proxy processes handling uploads and only a few heavy mod_perl processes to do the heavy lifting.
