Re: Spell Checkers and EMail
Also have a look as 'aspell', which I found to have a more extensive dictionary and thus suggestions for words. I also discovered that sending stdin to it from a perl script can be quite slow (e.g. an email that has several replies), however there's a perl module interface that I also discovered on CPAN -- haven't implemented it yet, too busy. http://savannah.gnu.org/download/ aspell can be substituted for ispell (same call options), so you might as well evaluate them both. -doug On Thursday 06 March 2003 06:08 am, Christian Hauser wrote: Hello Philip I just digged my way through Ispell a great spell checking module with libraries for many languages: http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html See the my latest contribution on this topic in the Mason thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=masonm=104657497230694w=2 I used it to spell check text before saving it.

Could someone please tell me exactly what the difference is between Perl and mod_perl, and how exactly mod_perl is used (.i.e. is it just for writing apache modules or is it just for CGI, or what) I'm big-time confuesd here. Thanks very much!!! Jeff. Hi Jeff - First go to the http://perl.apache.org/ site to get the full story. In short, think of mod_perl as a module that you start up with Apache that allows all of the perl scripts to run faster because the server doesn't have to launch a subprocess because mod_perl is in a sense Apache's version of perl. There are a lot of options/etc (this *is* perl we're talking about), so keep that in mind as you read through the documentation for what is applicable to your website. If you're using mod_perl, you can check your log when you start up Apache for something like this: [Fri May 24 14:50:24 2002] [notice] Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) mod_perl -- ~~ Doug Silver Network Manager Urchin Software Corp.http://www.urchin.com ~~

Re: libperl.so vs mod_perl.so
Ryan -
I upgraded to perl 5.6 and when I built mod_perl it used the right one, I
would guess that it would only build it against 5.0 if you didn't run the
`use.perl {port,system}` script that comes with perl 5.6.
The last time I read about loadable modules vs compiled said that the
loadable route costs during startup, but beyond that it's nearly a
push. Using the ports system makes upgrading Apache and all the other
system software much easier than the other route. But, everyone does
things differently, so YMMV!

As a fellow FreeBSD user (4.5) I recommend building Apache and mod_perl from

it's a good idea to compile mod_perl into Apache, at least, that's what

Apache::DBI startup failure
I can't seem to get Apache::DBI to start up properly.
Here's my startup.pl:

use Apache ();
use Apache::Status ();
use Apache::DBI (); # This *must* come before all other DBI modules!
use Apache::Registry;

RaiseError = 0, # don't die on error
AutoCommit = 0, # require transactions
}
)
or die Cannot connect to database: $DBI::errstr;
1;
And here's what happens:

Re: Apache::DBI startup failure
Ok, I found it, but this has got to be some kind of bug.
This works:
Apache::DBI-connect_on_init(dbi:pg:demo,demo);
This doesn't:
Apache::DBI-connect_on_init(dbi:Pg:demo,demo);
That's right, putting 'dbi:pg' in lowercase made it work. I looked through
some old newsgroup stuff and saw someone using Postgres had it similar to
that.
Here's some further debugging information for the developers:
perl -v = v5.6.1 on i386-freebsd (FreeBSD 4.4)
# pkg_info |egrep -i dbi|postgres
p5-Apache-DBI-0.88 DBI persistent connection, authentication and authorization

I'm not familiar with Postgres but this might point you in the right
direction.
