I hope a new release will be just around the corner, but if you want to test out some of the latest stuff, have a look at http://www.apache.org/~joes/ I don't think we'll have a 1.0 that works on OS/X, but I might be able to include a patch in the distro that will build the C api of libapreq directly into httpd. This might allow OS/X to run Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie at the same time, but that platform is unavailable to me for testing.
RE: Perl Sections: command_rec for directive `ISA' not found!
I previously posted the below, but after experiencing this same problem
after upgrading MySQL, I did some research and noticed that I had to
re-compile/re-install the Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216.tar.gz package/module
when the libmysqlclient.so file got updated.
For instance, I first installed the perl module when I had MySQL 3.23.36,
which compiles libmysqlclient.so.6, and then I just upgraded to MySQL
3.23.47, which compiles/relies on libmysqlclient.so.10. I now had to
re-install the Msql-Mysql-modules package using the new libmysqlclient.so.10
file (I believe it was in the Makefile, but I could be wrong). After I did
that, everything worked fine.

Seeing that nobody answered your question or posted the answer, I had to
overcome this same problem. The problem was the Perl libraries that were
installed (or not installed). You need to reinstall / install the
Bundle::DBI package and the correct modules for it. In my case, I was trying
to dynamically build VirtualHost directives from a mySQL database. I
telnetted/ssh to the shell and typed the following:
su-2.04# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan install Bundle::DBI
Bundle gets installed
cpan install Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216.tar.gz
Package starts installing
When it asked me if I wanted mSQL, mySQL, or both, I chose mySQL only.
It asked me where the subdirectory with the include files was, and it
defaulted to /usr/local. This caught me off-guard because mySQL was actually
installed in /usr/local/mysql and so I kept putting that directory, but it
kept failing. When I tried reinstalling, I left it at /usr/local and it went
through fine.
Now that the packages are installed, I had one more error to fix. In the
Perl section, I had:
$dbh = DBI-connect('DBI:mysql: ..blah..blah...');
which had to be changed to
my $dbh = DBI-connect('DBI:mysql: ..blah..blah...');
Otherwise, Apache will not recognize the variables and will return an error
about commands and stuff.
Hope this helps!

Re: New mod_perl Logo

Re: performance coding project? (was: Re: When to cache)
One memory speed saving is using global VARS, I know it is not
recomended practice, but if from the begining of the project u set a
convention what are the names of global vars it is ok..F.e. I'm using in
all DB pages at the begining :
our $dbh = dbConnect() or dbiError();
See I know (i'm sure) that when I use DB I will always initialize the
var. One other example is (ASP.pm):
our $userID = $$Session{userID};
my $something = $$Request{Params}{something}
This is not saving me memory, but shorten my typewriting especialy if it
is used frequently or if I need to change FORM-param from something to
anything..etc..
I think in mod_perl world we are about to search MEMORY optimisation
RATHER speed optimisation... :)

Re: problems with DirectoryIndex under mod_perl + Template Toolkit
Unfortunately, I could not get Apache::ShowRequest to compile, despite tinkering with it quite a bit. But, per your suggestion, I wrote a Fixup handler to solve this problem. However, in my web searches, I came across post after post that seem to describe the same problem or something similar. In no case have I seen a straightforward solution. Is there some reason why this isn't easier to handle if indeed it's such a common problem? -Tim - Original Message - From: Stas Bekman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tim Noll [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 6:07 AM Subject: Re: problems with DirectoryIndex under mod_perl + Template Toolkit Tim Noll wrote: Tim, this question is not-related to TT, but a pure configuration issue. So in further postings about this issue please don't CC the tt list. (CC'ing only once now). I'm using mod_perl + Template Toolkit, and I'm having trouble getting Apache to pass the DirectoryIndex to my handler. The handler is supposed to take the path_info and pull a template of the same name from a subdirectory called 'html'. This works fine for file names which do exist in the subdirectory. And, if they don't exist, an error is correctly generated. However, if the path is empty or '/', I expect Apache to include the DirectoryIndex (index.html) in path_info or somewhere else that I can get to it. Unfortunately, Apache is passing empty paths and '/' straight through to the handler, causing a file not found error. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place, but I've spent a lot of time Googling and looking at the mod_perl guide, and I can't seem to find an exact answer to my problem. This would seem to be a common issue. Can anyone offer a solution? That's the job of mod_dir to do that translation from / to /index.html. Does it run? For example you can use Apache::ShowRequest to look what handlers are running. In your case the best thing is to write a Fixup handler and do what mod_dir does in Perl (should be two lines of code). Here is a section from our book with an example of using Apache::ShowRequest: =head2 Investigating the Request Phases Imagine a situation where you have a complex server setup in which many different Perl and non-Perl handlers participate in the request processing, and one or more of these handlers misbehave. A simple example would be where one of the handlers alters the request record, which breaks the functionality of the other handler. Or some handler invoked first in for any given phase of the process and returns COK status, when it's not expected to do so, thus preventing other handlers from doing their job. You can't just add debug statements to trace the offender--there are too many handlers involved. The simplest solution is to get a trace of all registered handlers for each phase, stating whether they were invoked or not and what was the return status. Once such a trace is available, it's much easier to look only at the players who did something, thus narrowing the search path for a potential misbehaving module. The CApache::ShowRequest module shows the phases the request goes through, displaying the module participation in each phase and respond codes. The content response phase is not run, but possible modules are listed as defined. To configure it, just add this snippet to Ihttpd.conf: Location /showrequest SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler +Apache::ShowRequest /Location Now if you want to see what happens when you access some URI, just add it after I/showrequest. CApache::ShowRequest uses the CPATH_INFO to get to the URI that should be executed. So to run I/index.html with CApache::ShowRequest, issue a request to I/showrequest/index.html. For I/perl/test.pl, issue a request to I/showrequest/perl/test.pl. This module produces rather lengthy output, so we will show only one section from the report generated while requesting: I/showrequest/index.html: Running request for /index.html Request phase: post_read_request [snip] Request phase: translate_handler mod_perl DECLINED mod_setenvif undef mod_auth undef mod_access ..undef mod_alias ...DECLINED mod_userdir .DECLINED mod_actions .undef mod_imap undef mod_asis undef mod_cgi .undef mod_dir .undef mod_autoindex ...undef mod_include .undef mod_info undef mod_status ..undef mod_negotiation .undef mod_mime undef mod_log_config ..undef mod_env .undef http_core

Location Directives Problem
Hi All,
Below I have the output of Apache::PerlSections-dump from Bricolage.
I'm doing a lot of configuration in a Perl module where I simply switch
to the Apache::ReadConfig package and do my thing. This keeps httpd.conf
clean but allows me to do all the data munging I need to to get all the
proper locations set up according to the settings of Bricolage's own
configuration directives.
The problem is that the Location directives below are acting more like
LocationMatch directives. For example, if I hit the URL
'/admin/workflow/media', I would expect the '/' Location's handlers to
handle the request. But they're not. Instead, it's the '/media' Location
handlers. It's as if I had set it up with LocationMatch */media* instead
of Location.
Anyone have any idea why it might be doing this? I've tried all kinds of
things and I'm stumped!
TIA,
David
