You guys might want to take a look at this thread on apreq-dev http://marc.info/?t=12420765987&r=1&w=2 Specifically the last couple of posts from pgollucci (who is a freebsd, and mod_perl committer).

These are the steps I use to install libapreq2. # ./configure --with-apache2-apxs=/path/to/apache/apxs --with-expat=/usr/local --enable-perl-glue # gmake # gmake test # gmake install Except for the --with-expat flag, this is what is in the INSTALL doc. If you checkout from svn, run ./buildconf first. It is best to compile everything with the same compiler and the same version perl, otherwise you will likely have problems.

RE: FreeBSD 7.2, mod_perl2 & Apache2::Cookie (libapreq2)
I have helped configure apache2 on versions of BSD - whether it's the latest or not is not in my knowledge, as I was merely handed servers of relative newness and paid to make apache2/mod_perl run on them. I just compiled from source with the packages in the BSD package system, configured them, and went on with life. Which isn't much help, since I don't know if it's the version you're talking about or if I somehow dodged whatever problem or method you're using to get binaries.

Re: FreeBSD 7.2, mod_perl2 & Apache2::Cookie (libapreq2)
Oops =) Replace 'sr' with 'sudo' wherever encountered (corporate colloquialism). As somebody else said recently on this very same thread, it's likely that your problem is libapreq. And as they mentioned, the correct thing to do would be to build it from the ports tree (otherwise compiled by- hand with any modifications required to make it work on FreeBSD -- which is what the ports tree does for you). (shrug) Dunno, not using libapreq in our distribution. Besides libapreq, I can't say that we've had any problems on FreeBSD at all (many versions). Though there are some gotchas (for example, if you don't use --with-devrandom configure option, then the FreeBSD system will eventually cause HTTPS clients to hang as the system waits for more entropy to be gathered for /dev/random (redefining to /dev/urandom solves this problem). -- Devin Teske On Thu, 2009-10-29 at 09:41 -0700, Devin Teske wrote: > Running Apache 2.2.13 with mod_perl 2.0.4 and other sundry pieces on > FreeBSD-4.11. > > Here's my compile notes (sorry if it's a little lengthy, just > copy/pasted to minimize time spent on this): > > > > > Paste: > > The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an > open-source HTTP server for various modern desktop and server operating > systems, such as UNIX and Windows NT.

Re: FreeBSD 7.2, mod_perl2 & Apache2::Cookie (libapreq2)
Mr. Sin, I can't tell from your email exactly what isn't working for you, so will assume that you have similar problems as Mr. N. From my experience, the problem may be FreeBSD + libapreq2 2.12. My site runs FreeBSD 6.3. I could not get libapreq2 2.12 and associated Perl linkages (mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1) to build from source and pass. The author kept wanting more data about failures, and I'm ashamed to say I stopped answering his requests (it was a bad week). But I did get the package to install from the FreeBSD ports collection, using the following commands: cd /ports/www/libapreq2 # your ports path may be different sudo make clean sudo make install WITH_MODPERL2=yes FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes The ports version notes document the included patch that's needed for FreeBSD. It has been working fine for months. Hope this works for either or both of you.

You can't keep things in memory with CGI scripts because they are spawned and exit on each request. You'll need to cache things in a database or file. The dirt-simple solution is a file that you write periodically from a cron job, and read from your CGI scripts. If you read it frequently, it will be kept in the filesystem cache so the read will be extremely fast. - Perrin

Have a look at MMapDB which I have just uploaded to CPAN. I wrote this module some time ago exactly for that case: configuration data that seldom changes. Before I have used BerkeleyDB. But that is a bit touchy when it comes to sudden process death. I wanted something simple, stable and fast. So an MMapDB database cannot be modified by a connected process because it is mapped read-only. Changing data means rewriting the database file and reconnect the new one. This also means the whole database is shared memory between all connected processes. There is a tie() based interface. So, even dumping human readable data is simple: perl -MMMapDB -MData::Dumper -e ' print Dumper(MMapDB->new(filename=>shift)->start->main_index); ' /etc/opt/TRANSCONFIG/transconfig.mmdb And a more complicated but faster interface: perl -MMMapDB -le ' # open the DB my $db=MMapDB->new(filename=>shift)->start; # get data record positions my @pos=$db->index_lookup($db->mainidx, qw!actn opi /svn!); # fetch a data item print $db->data_record($pos[0])->[2]; ' /etc/opt/TRANSCONFIG/transconfig.mmdb One even can store large values there and pass references to them around and thus avoid copying and mallocing that happens normally when you do $x=$y: perl -MMMapDB -MDevel::Peek -e ' my $db=MMapDB->new(filename=>shift)->start; my @pos=$db->index_lookup($db->mainidx, qw!actn opi /svn!); # get a reference to the data item to avoid copying my $v=\$db->data_record($pos[0])->[2]; print $$v, "\n"; Dump $$v ' /etc/opt/TRANSCONFIG/transconfig.mmdb File: '/opt/svnbook'.$MATCHED_PATH_INFO SV = PV(0x9d4b50) at 0x7c9248 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (POK,READONLY,pPOK) PV = 0x7f956388d240 "File: '/opt/svnbook'.$MATCHED_PATH_INFO" CUR = 39 LEN = 0 You see $v points to a read-only variable. The PV pointer of this variable references the string inside the read-only mapped database file. Now you can do $x=$v and only the reference is copied. Torsten -- Need professional mod_perl support?
