Child processes/cache question

2007-09-10 Thread David Willams
Condition: I'm pre-load sharable data at apache start, but I also have
different data that is caching itself within child processes.
Goal: to pre-cache within each process, the data that cannot be cached
within the shared space.

Not sure if I'm asking this correctly, but is there a method by which child
processes may do their own start-up routine (i.e. pre-cache) at fork time
from the parent? Now, each process basically does this on first use.

Re: PDF creation tools

2007-09-10 Thread Jordan McLain
PDF::API2 is awesome.  I use it to create entire pdf documents as well as to
lay text over already existing pdf documents.

 Hello,

 I'm looking for a fast and simple module for creating simple PDF format
 documents from mostly text data and possibly some small images (i.e.
 icons,
 etc.).

 Lot's of tools available on either CPAN or Source Forge, but it's been a
 while
 since I've looked at these and I'm guessing 1 or 2 have risen to the top
 inside the mod_perl community.

 Any recommedations?
