PerlHandler Inheritance

2002-10-04 Thread Tom Servo
This is probably a pointless question, but I'm mostly just curious if there is any way to get this to work. I've got two modules, Parent.pm and Child.pm. Parent.pm has a sub handler in it, and Child.pm has Parent in ISA. I can run a little driver script over these two and call Child::handler

We're running Apache 1.3.12, as for the mod_perl version, it's not reported in the logs when the servers start and there doesn't seem to be any source lying around, so I'm not sure how to determine its version number. If you could point me in the right direction on that, I'd appreciate it.

There's probably a far better answer to this than I can give, but if not, an interim solution might be having whoever maintains these Excel files save them as .csv files. Excel can do that, and while you lose all the fancy formatting, it just dumps them in a comma seperated list, then you can

Hello all. I'm writing an app that opens a pipe to sendmail, which if memory serves, forks off a child process of apache to do the pipe, then exits as soon as it's finished. I was doing this with MIME::Lite, and it's been working absolutely splendidly on Linux and on Solaris 7. However, on

Re: POST params with Location

2001-09-10 Thread Tom Servo
There could be something I'm missing here, but I believe you need to use $r-content() to get POST arguments. Beware though, that once you call content() you can't call it again, so hang onto whatever comes out of it. Also...isn't it $r-args() or am I just completely missing something here?

Re: $r-args()

2001-08-29 Thread Tom Servo
Once you change the method to GET and put the content in with $r-args();, it becomes GET data from the query_string. All the POST data is lost when you call content(), so you can no longer read it as POST data with $r-content() again. Brian Nilsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wed, 29 Aug
