Use DBI in http.conf
Has anyone any information on success/horror stories for using DBI in apache config files. I have a number of PerlModule Library::Module Location '/Module' SetHandler Perl-Script PerlHandler Library::Module /Location Type configs. I can very easily extract this information from a database. Is using DBI within a perl directive a good idea... perhaps there is a more elligant way of getting the information. Would gladly welcome references to things I should read. Just casting a line as I don't have a lot of research time available. Cheers, Wes

I can very easily extract this information from a database. Or you could use Apache::Dispatch, or you could put them in a simple text file, or you could use mod_macro. I'm sure it would work to put them in DBI (although you'd better close that connection before Apache forks!), but then you have a bunch of config data that can only be changed by messing with SQL and can no longer be easilly viewed, diffed, versioned, etc. - Perrin
