Hello, Please help me understand how Perl with mod_perl handles the following situation. Consider 2 clients out in the WWW using the same form to work on 2 different records of the same type. At submission, the form executes a database function and passes the data entered using the form. The function retrieves the data from the CGI-like connection, assigns the data to Perl dataspaces and begins processing the code series of the function. Now the 2nd client executes the function in the same way, right on the heels of the 1st client.
In the C language in a network environment, when a client calls a database function in a DLL to access a server database, a system semaphore is is used to serialize code access to prevent the corruption ofdataspaces. With only Perl, a different Perl interpreter instance is started for each CGI request. The instances don't know about each other and dataspaces are unique to an instance. How does Perl with mod_perl handle this. Are there any important differences with the only Perl situation. Might the dataspaces be corrupted? How does this work? My technical environment is Windows XP Home, Apache 2.0.049, Perl 5.8.3, and mod_perl 2.0.2. Thank you in advance for any responses. I appreciate your time.
