[OT] [ANNOUNCE] PPerl 0.04
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This is a wee bit off topic, but may still be of interest. PPerl 0.04 has been released to CPAN. What's PPerl you may ask? Well it's a persistent perl interpreter. It's quite similar in many ways to SpeedyCGI, except it doesn't require any modifications to your CGI script or Apache setup except perhaps for the #! line to specifiy pperl rather than perl. The code is simpler than SpeedyCGI (the daemon stuff just uses Perl, rather than C, although the client end is C), so I'm hoping perhaps more people will want to get involved with improving the project (plus SpeedyCGI seems dead). The biggest reason for writing this was actually not for web stuff, but for our anti-virus and anti-spam code at MessageLabs (www.messagelabs.com). Basically perl compile time takes up most of our time to process an email, so we had to do something about it. PPerl is what came out of that, and I was allowed to release it open source. So it may be useful to anyone who has, for example, a cron job, or a mail processing script, or basically anything rather large that they need to speed up. Anyway, do play with it, and let me know what you think, and if you find bugs or anything like that. Cheers, Matt. - -- :-get a SMart net/:- -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjy71NMACgkQVBc71ct6OywLngCglzRm6f7/JqsXW8Km6+3retTh qxoAoON1dfm9snjZTFjaVMWSaQiiswzQ =I322 -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Hi I am new to mod_perl and i am developing some samples using mod_perl . While developing sample , i do not want to restart the server frequently with respect to my changes. So i used the$r-header_out(Pragma, no-cache); statement not to cache the results. i seems to be not working for me . Any suggestions and how to include the directives in the server side not to cache the results. Thanks in advance With Regards K.Murugan
Re: Found a sprintf() bug inPerl 5.6.1 (and mod_perl)
I think that if there is a bug, which i'm not convinced of (see below),
it's likely to be int(), which may *first* be called by sprintf to cast
the floating-point number into an integral format (%03d).
Indeed if you run :
perl -e '$a=0.57; print int($a * 100)'
you get 0.56 .
Now, there must be an explanation for such an interesting behavior!
It may even have to do with the binary representation of floating-point numbers(FPN)
using the IEEE format, where 32bits FPN are represented
using 23 bits of mantissa.
The following script shows that 0.57 (as an example), an many others,
cannot be represented using 23 bits mantissa :
# this find the negative powers of 2 that should be added together
# to reach the goal (eg 0.57)
perl -e ' $goal = $ARGV[0];
$negpw= 1;
l = ();
$s = 0;
foreach (1..23) {
$a = $a/2;
if ( ($s + $a) = $goal){
$s += $a;
push l, $_;
print(sprintf(%0.30f - %03d\n, $s,
$s * 100 ))
}
};
print l
' 0.57
0.50 - 050
0.562500 - 056
0.5664062500 - 056
0.5683593750 - 056
0.5693359375 - 056
0.56982421875000 - 056
0.56994628906250 - 056
0.569976806640625000 - 056
0.569992065429687500 - 056
0.56694824218750 - 056
0.569332427978515625 - 056
1 4 8 9 10 11 13 15 16 17 22
i.e 0.1 + 0.0001 + 0.0001 + 0.1
+ ...
You see in the result that 0.57 *cannot be* represented
as an exact sum of negative powers of 2 within
23 bits.
From there, I guess any thing that happens is OK.
The problem of floating point representation,
and all the dillies that go with iti, is in fact
as old as computer science itself!
To solve your problem, use :
print(sprintf(%2.0f\n, $a * 100 ))
Hope this helps.

Sorry,
I've found the following bug in mod_perl 1.25 and Perl 5.6.1.
Maybe was it already released but in case not here it is :
perl -e '
$a=0.57;
print sprintf(%03d, $a * 100)'
prints 056 instead of 057
Same behaviour with $a=0,58 that prints 057.
Of course it works for other values and also if you write
$a=0,57*100;
print sprintf(%03d, $a);
Bug in sprintf() ?
Sincerely,

Hello Friends, I am a newbie and had developed a proof-of-concept application on Apache 1.3.23/Mod_Perl-1.26-dev. We are researching into moving away from ASP/IIS Webapplications to Apache/Mod_Perl.

RE: Re: PerlRequire -mod_perl-2 - Apache 2.0.35
Both the suppositions are right! To have the proof-of-concept working in Apache, I do have it working 100% under Apache 1.3.23/mod_perl-1.26. I had performed benchmark studies under IIS/ASP, Tomcat/JSP and Apache/MOD_PERL and have seen the best performance under Apache 1.3.23/Mod_Perl! However to convince my bosses, it would be lot nicer to impress upon them with Apache 2.0.35/mod_perl-2 as it seems Apache 2.0.35 is supposed to be the best in terms of performance. That greediness is what is pushing me to make it work under Apache2/mod_perl-2. Well, if things are in nascent phase I guess I should be content with what I have in Apache 1.3.23. Am wondering how AP-631/PPM/Apache2 users have not got into problems as I am seeing on W2K. Hoping for a possible fix soon!

Looking for more information...
In the next few weeks our radio show might be tackling mod_perl as a topic. I've read everything on the perl.apache.org site (and followed the links from there to take23.org, etc.) I'vereadthe mod_perl articles on perl.comas well. My question is, are there any other less-obvious places to look for information that I'm missing? We've usedmod_perl for our development for years, and are very familiar withit.Links to anyplace that might have good articles, etc. would be great.

Well that's kind of why I'm here in the first place...looking for a real solution to users who don't log out. I'd rather force logout their old sessions rather than just resign to the fact that user's habits make logouts unpredictable. It's not acceptable for our application's purposes to just leave active sessions open if it's at all possible to avoid. 3) will be very interesting to hear about your successful implementation! I would have been done yesterday had I not made a bonehead mistake and deleted a very important database table. I'm still recovering from that mistake. :-( Hopefully, I'll be able to tell you all about the successful implementation early next week. (BTW, if only the existence status of an account is needed to double check, please consider a lock file (e.g. -e) under Apache::File that may be much faster than to call SessionDBI) I'm not too worried about performance...only about 100 users will ever have an account on this system, a fraction of them actively using the app at any one time. But I'm not using the DBI for this part anyhow. I'm using Apache::Session::File, more or less (really using Flex but only overridding the Generate method). The only time I hit the database is to check that the user/password are valid and get user preferences when they submit the login form. The lock file actually isn't a workable solution, now that I think about it. Just knowing a user has logged in and not logged out does me no good, I need to know if they have other valid session keys still in existence so I can expire them. A lock file could lead to false positives - if the key expired but they haven't visited again or explicitly logged out since, it'll be there but the user really doesn't have any active sessions. I still think Jeff's post yesterday suggesting I store the AuthCookie key in the Apache::Session data is the answer. Thanks for the dialog, I'll post the final results. -Fran

you might actually be hitting a problem i just found on solaris with 2.0 and perl 5.6.1. a problem that is fixed in 5.8.0-tobe, where certain DynaLoader and XSLoader combo prevents modperl from closing all of the dlhandles. try adding this to your startup.pl before use-ing any other modules: use DynaLoader ();

Apache::Reload
After much fluffing around I managed to get Apache::Reload to work for .pm
files with:
httpd.conf
Location /
PerlRequire /the/path/to/the/perl/startup.pl
PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
/Location
/httpd.conf
BUT
Is it possible to get simple library files (ie. No package def.) to be
reloaded too?
For example:
index.cgi
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
require test.pl;
go();
/index.cgi
test.pl
sub go
{
print Hello Worldbr;
}
1;
/test.pl
Changes to sub go in test.pl DO NOT get reloaded, but I'd like them to. Yes,
I could just make this a package but I'd rather not.

mod_perl-2 - Apache 2.0.35 - Windows NT/2000 - Preliminary Woes cleared
Thanks a lot to Stas and Randy, I have got the MOD_PERL-1.99 and Apache 2.0.35 to get started up and running to serve the first CGIs under MOD_PERL in Windows NT 4.0 SP 6a environment. I am sure it should be the same for Windows 2000 too. Points: 1) I am having problems in my Windows 2000 Workstation, because I am running both Apache 1.3.23/Mod_Perl-1.26 as well as Apache 2.0.35/Mod_Perl-1.99. Therefore, there are certainly name-clashes as far as Mod_Perl-1.99 is concerned (vide Randy's email rejoinder). Therefore, I had installed Apache 2.0.35 with Mod_Perl-1.99 under a Windows NT 4.0 with SP 6a and ActivePerl 628, without any previous Apache/Mod_Perl installed to it. 2) Please note that when I did not have two different Apache and Mod_Perl versions on the Server, the : PerlModule Apache2 configuration item on httpd.conf did work as per the advisories. Previously this did not work for me, because I had two versions of Apache and mod_perl running in it. 3) Even after running a lone Apache 2.0.35/Mod_Perl-1.99 on Windows NT 4.0/SP 6a, I was having problems with RegistryCooker.pm (vide, my own emails today on the topic). 4) Stas had posited to a new bug-fix of Doug. I applied it to the RegistryCooker.pm file. 5) Now the woes with respect to RegistryCooker.pm cleared. But CGIs would just not serve. Reason was because, I had given in the httpd.conf file the configuration as thus: PerlHandler Apache2::ModPerl::Registry It complained that it could not find that one!! 6) Stas was kind enough to guide me on this. According to his valuable advice, I changed the PerlHandler statement in httpd.conf as thus: PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry Please note, that at this point, I could also make the startup.pl script (a simple startup script that I wrote to preload CGI and other modules) run using: PerlRequire e:/admin/rarul/apache2/startup.pl statement. Currently, I am able to make Apache 2.0.35 work with MOD_PERL-1.99-dev on Windows NT 4.0/SP 6a, without any problem. To get to this point itself, it took a lot of collective effort and thanks to one and all in this list. Hopefully this information will be helpful to the Windows Users.

Re: PerlRequire -mod_perl-2 - Apache 2.0.35
Hello Friends, I am a newbie and had developed a proof-of-concept application on Apache 1.3.23/Mod_Perl-1.26-dev. We are researching into moving away from ASP/IIS Webapplications to Apache/Mod_Perl. I am stuck with the latest Apache 2.0.35 with the following problems. Today I installed Apache 2.0.35 with Mod_Perl-2. However, I am not able to use PerlRequire Statement in the httpd.conf. Whenever I am trying to restart my Windows Services, it is always giving me an error message which does not allow me to start my Windows Services. Hi for me on winnt, apache 2.0.35 could be installed but once refused to start as a service too. and this was because it was necessary to explicitely specify a drive letter for serverroot and documentroot (etc. maybe) in the httpd.conf whereas apache doc say if you do not, it will prepend the drive letter of the apache.exe pascal
