virtualhost based variables
Greetings again. I'm trying to figure out the best/fastest/most elegant way of setting virtualhost based variables. Basically I have three sites, and the only difference between them is the DocumentRoot ($htdocroot) and the database their data is being accessed from ($dbh). When it was a single site I had $documentroot and $dbh declared in my startup.pl, and my modules accessed it through $main::dbh, and it was all find and dandy. Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to use $r-dir_config in every module to get the document root and re-create $dbh? I know mod_perl 2.0 will solve this problem with the +Parent option, but heading to apache 2.0 might not be an option at this point. So how does everyone else do it? :) TIA alan -- Alan Arcterex [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=][=- http://arcterex.net I used to herd dairy cows. Now I herd lusers. Apart from the isolation, I think I preferred the cows. They were better conversation, easier to milk, and if they annoyed me enough, I could shoot them and eat them. -Rodger Donaldson

Document root should be accessable from $r. I would use Apache::DBI for persistent connections. Then connect at the beginning of the request with the DBI connection parameters coming from $r-dir_config. -- James Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED], 979-862-3725 Texas AM CIS Operating Systems Group, Unix

Each module starts by re-instantiating $dbh and $htdocroot via dir_config and a function that uses dir_config to find the database it's supposed to grab stuff from. The problem is that it seems like I've incurred a pretty high speed penalty, and my requests/sec have dropped from about 165 to 83 :( I'm still pushing enough data to saturate a T1, so at the end it's not going to be a noticable difference. I wanted to know if there was a better/faster way to do this though, without having to call $r-dir_config and $r-document_root for /every/ request.
