Apache::Filter doesn't filter right

2001-04-03 Thread Michael Nachbaur
I'm having a problem with Apache::Filter (and Apache::OutputChain) which I don't think is related to Apache::Filter itself, but I can't seem to track the problem down. I wrote a content handler which outputs XML, which I want to then be processed by AxKit. So, I did: SetHandler perl-script

I would tend to agree with this on several points, but I have a few things to add (I didn't want this to be a "Me Too!" post.) A lot of the mindshare for this space has been taken over by Java. While some of you out there have actually tried to implement something in Java, then ran screaming

Transaction support for your business logic is easy in J2EE. It's not clear how you do this in Perl? Use an RDBMS. This is exactly what people mean on this list about people not understanding the principles of enterprise programming. Its like trying to scape paint off of a glass

Perl as DSO...whats wrong with it, specifically?

I'm working with IBM (sorry! Its not my choice!) to try to get mod_perl compiled into their custom version of Apache, and their techs want to know why I can't run mod_perl as a DSO. So, I need to know, whats specifically wrong with it? Like, what are the repurcussions of it? This is going

I haven't used Embperl on AIX (or any platform for that matter), but I am unfortunatly using AIX at work. :-( AIX's C compiler is as buggy as a Florida chineese resturaunt. I couldn't even get Apache to install right (it kept saying something to the effect of "Found /Directory, expected

Well, from what I'm reading, it looks like you don't want it to create sessions for all images, CSS, et al on the first page load, right? Instead of deleting sessions that aren't used, you could try just not serving sessions to documents that don't need 'em. Like in my setup, I've put in a

Theres a problem with that however...it assumes you use mySQL. I use Oracle, and it doesn't provide that functionality; you need to alter the INSERT or UPDATE statements to include passing a SYSDATE into the timestamp field. 'Course, you could create a trigger that adds the SYSDATE after an
