About doctoral research project
Information about doctoral research project Dear mod_perl contributors, This is to inform briefly about my research purpose in relation to the mod_perl project. I’m a PhD student in educational science at University of Oslo, Norway. The research is focused on interaction and knowledge sharing in open source projects. More specific, it’s about how shared understandings evolve around open source codes. Due to the dynamic distributed peer review and high quality output of the mod_perl project, it is of special interest for gaining deeper insight into the ‘knowledge machineries’ associated with open source software development. The plan is to read through the mailing list archive available at http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/perl-modperl/ and study the content of postings from two contrasting sub-groups within the project that contributes frequent and less frequent. The research is conducted from July 15th until November 29th this year. Results will be published and shared in a monograph with the working title “Intersubjectivity around expert objects - Inquiries into the knowledge practices of software development”. Keep up the good work. Best regards, Pål Fugelli PhD Researcher University of Oslo

Thus in the next month or so, no trolls or flames, be nice and considerate, check you spelling, verify your quotes, and write only nice things about perl and about doctoral researchers.
Re: Can a PerlAuthzHandler access ENV variables set by mod_auth_kerb?

I've found that the credentials are stored in a file in /tmp. The name of the file is passed to CGI programs as the contents of an ENV var named KRB5CCNAME. I'm handling the authorization phase with a mod_perl2 PerlAuthzHandler script. I want to use the credentials that mod_auth_kerb just verified. By this phase, the name of the credential cache file has been stored somewhere by mod_auth_kerb. The question is this: How can I get that filename? How can I read the ENV that will ultimately go to CGI scripts? PerlPassEnv seems not to do it. On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 10:14 AM, Mike Diehnm...@diehn.net wrote: Hello, all.

Alternatively you may be able to access the variable using subprocess_env. http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html#C_subprocess_env_ -wjt
