Re: CGI character translation???

I had a similar thing i tried to debug a few weeks ago. I couldnt 'su' to the user 'nobody' which was annoying so it took some time to figure out it was an environ problem. ged OK, not exactly perl, but this was the closest list I could find. I am running a perl CGI script that launches a java program. This java program writes output files that are delimited using what I believe to be a unicode character. On most editors it looks like an upside-down question mark, which I believe is correct. On some editors, it shows as a degree symbol. This character is represented by the hex pair 0xc2a1. Here is the character 'ยก'. Now here is the problem. When I test my java program everything is great. When I test the perl script to launch the java program, all is still well. When I run my perl script through CGI, though, it replaces each occurrence of the above character with ??. I cannot understand why the CGI is interfering with file output from my program. This is not going through display, but is directly writing this file. Anyone have any ideas? Also, if anyone can suggest a better list, I'd appreciate that too. Thanks. -- gedanken

I am correct a surprising amount of the time =) One quick caveat - properly unmount volumes when rebooting and such. Due to one of those things that somehow grew beyond its original intent, we had a network of about 15 machines all mounting each other. NFS chokes when a mount it expects to be there, isnt. it takes it several minutes to give up. One machine rebooting in such a big spiderweb cluster can cause massive problems without proper attention to cleanly unmounting and remounting shares. And 'cascading' is usually such a lovely word... gedanken You might try an NFS mount between the too. mount_nfs -L server:/path /local/path (FreeBSD) -- gedanken

Re: Is it safe to share a read-only dbm file opened in parent modperl?
On Tue, 15 Feb 2005, Richard Chen wrote: Im a big fan of reading read-only data files, config files, etc at server start up in startup.pl and sharing between children. There could easily be problems with my approach and i welcome the criticism =) The only time I have been burned with parent-child sharing is with database handles in forked processes. you have to jump through hoops with mysql/dbi or else all kinds of corruption occurs when the child uses the handle created in the parent. mfp Hi, I recall that in general it is not a good idea to open a file in the parent modperl process and then share it among the child modperl processes. One should open the file separately in each of the child processes. But what if the file is used just for read-only access? Is it still necessary to open the file separately in the child processes? It seems to be more efficient to share if it can be done reliably. The practical-modperl book gives an example showing how to open a read-only dbm file from child init handler in each of the child process. But there is no rational given. For the few tests I have done using MLDBM, opening the file in the parent process and then sharing that among the child processes seems to work fine. But I would like to know if there are any potential problems associated with this practice. Thanks for any info. Richard Chen - Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
