This is something I asked before, like one or two years ago. I just want
to see if a solution has come up since then.
The problem is that with the normal (linux-distro) installation of apache
and mod_perl, all processes for all active scripting (cgi, perl, PHP..)
run as the same user. Thus, if
This works, separate file /tmp/test.pl:
use Safe;
my($compartment) = new Safe;
$compartment-permit(qw(:browse));
$compartment-reval(print \gnu\n\;);
if($@)
{
die $@;
}
print \n\n;
(Script prints gnu)
This does not work, in perl-handler Handler.pm:
[...]
use Safe;
Ah, well, after a five hours of experimentation I thought up a working
workaround anyway.
This works with an unpatched version of mp1 ($substr is any perl code
fetched from external source):
my(@ops) = split(/\x0a/,$substr);
my($cell,$reval);
foreach $cell (@ops)

I'm developing an online survey system under mod_perl (with a homemade
perlhandler, not under Apache::Registry). Since I've had as a goal to
avoid as many dependencies as possible, I store results in local plaintext
files. By nature, these files has (?) to be writable by the uid apache
runs as.
Is there a mod_perl API (or some other standard way) to determine what a
client web browser is capable of displaying? (images, tables, plugins...)
I am developing a web questionnaire system in mod_perl (1.26) and I'm
thinking about maybe dividing the display code into different levels
