Apache::Session::Object

2000-07-06 Thread Nathan Wiger
Hi- I've created an object interface to Apache::Session. It's a simple module that I've called Apache::Session::Object (seemed pretty intuitive) that presents the following interface: # Create new session using the default File store use Apache::Session::Object; my $session = new Apache

Hi all- On a totally different subject, I've been experiencing problems with the interaction between CGI::Carp and Apache::Session. I find that in a mod_perl context, if I import CGI::Carp before I import Apache::Session, then I run into the following error: [Thu Jun 29 13:14:03 2000] [error] (

Apache::Config module

2000-06-27 Thread Nathan Wiger
Hi all- I've written a module that can parse the Apache httpd.conf config file (and in fact any Apache-like config file). It will take a set of directive like: ServerName www.mydomain.com UseCanonicalName Off And parse it case-insensitively, returning a ref to a hash:
