Re: If (!$one_thing) {$other;}
Here is a little script I wrote a while back so that I could look at headers
being sent from my server in a browser window.

Subject: If (!$one_thing) {$other;}
This is irking me.
$state preserves information about the request and so on. Now,
$r-whatever_method works just fine.. EXCEPT for sending headers. When I
visit my site, I get my nifty login page, and that is all. Always the
login
page.
I telnetted into the thing to see what kinds of cookie strings I was
getting
back and... NO HEADERS! No Content-type: 's or nothing.
$r-send_http_header; must be broken, eh? How to fix?? =P

htaccess files
Is it possible to configure an htaccess file to
call a script using apache registry and use it in the
PerlAccessHandler.
I have written one pretty large perl script in
mod-perl using the apache registry to serve out picture gallery pages. I
would like to do some validation of my own on a per directory type
basis.
also
I was trying to run this code to do some test and
could only get it to work with the #pound signs in from of the files
directives.
It works like this.
#Files *
PerlAccessHandler 'sub {return Apache::Constants::FORBIDDEN;}' \
#/Files
but I get this error in the log file. I could not get
it to work any other way.
[Fri May 30 00:22:52 2003] [warn] Apache does not support line-end comments.
Consider using quotes around argument: "#/Files"
Thanks in advance

Off Topic but curious
If I bought a domain name with perl in it to build a perl script site, would I be infringing on any perl trademark or copyrights. Would it be ok or could I be told I couldn't use the domain. Thanks John Michael
Apache perl question. May be off topic.
Sorry if this is off topic. I am attempting to take a perl script I already have written to do something before attempting to port it to modperl. I have used this method to pass request to certain files to be redirected to a perl script to produce dynamic content. However, sometimes I would just like to pass it back to apache. I know that this will be possible with modperl by returning DECLINED. Directory "/home/usr1/digital/html/protected" AddHandler RTS-protected-htm htm Action RTS-protected-htm /cgi-bin/content_manager/handler.pl /Directory My question: Is it possible to do this with perl. I want to be able to pass some request for static documents that should end in .htm back to apache and let apache send them out throuhg the normal channels. Thanks John michael
Re: Off topic question a little worried
Any idea as to how it got on my server. It is owned by apache and in the
apache group. That tells me that it was put on there by apache. It is in a
directory that has the permissions 777 because the script that is normally
in there keeps and writes traffic information, so I guess someone found a
way to have apache write the file into that directory. But how did they get
it to chmod 755?

confused and need help
Hi I wanted to update my apache and mod-perl install. I stated to do it and found that I needed the LWP module which requires some other modules first. I got allof them on untill I needed the libnet module. ALl of the other modules I installed by hand and having no problems until I needed the libnet module.I could only find it in the Bundle::libnet module and thathas to be run from the CPAN module. In an attempt to install Bundle::libnet which you have to do through CPAN it seems that CPAN installed another version of perl on my server in usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 I already havea version in usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 Did it automatically try to update my version? When I run perl -MCPAN -e shell it is being run from the 5.6.1 version at usr/local and therefore does not find any of the other modules I already have installed. I know this because it uses the cpan config file in that location and also the dependencies that it is showing are already installed in the other location. Can I just delete the 5.6.1 version off of my server? How do I get the 5.6.0 version of cpan to run and the server to recognize this? Also, I am running a mod-perl server and have many scripts running under it. How does the server know which version to use? Am I going to have some problems? I'm not sure what to do at this point and don't know where to look. I now have to versions of perl on my server. I assume there is a file somewhere that tells the computer which one to use when you type perl from the command line. What should I do? Thanks John Michel
too many files open
HiI usethe perl sub below to create
thumbs with image magick on my mod perl server andnever really had any
problems with it. I put it on another server and aftera short while it
froze up the server with this error.too many files open.
It is running under a mod-perl environment because
in doing so I am also able to rename images at the same time.
I know that because it is running under a mod perl
environment, the lifetime of the script is until roboot of server orrestart
of apache.
The freezehappend on one of the lines in
this sub so I'm thinking I'm not doingsomething right and leaving files
open.I don't think this is a result of the problem with the server.I
would appreciate if someone would look at it and tell me if it is ok or not or
give me some suggestions to prevent this problem in the future so that I can
continue to run it in mod-perl.
Perlmagick claims that it handles all of the file
handling.

the thumbs hereif

Cookie authentication
This may seem off subject but, If you bare with me, I don't think it is. I am interested in using the cookie based system referred to in the programming the apache api book but oftend wonder this. Can you count on everyone to use cookies. It seems that some surfers are afraid of cookes are that maybe some browsers don't even handle them. I wrote a mod perl script to do member traking in my members site to see what pages were being viewed the most and used cookies also to make sure that more than one person was not using a particular username and find that some people either arn't using a browser that uses cookies or do not have them turned on. What are your thoughts on this because I thought of implementing the token cookie system but did not because I was afraid I would loose members that did not have or use this feature. Can you legimately require surfers to have cookies turned on and do you know of many sites that do this successfully without loosing members. Thanks John Michael
Re: Cookie authentication
Thanks. I did not know that you could verify that someone has cookies turned on. Can you point me to where i can find out how to do this? Is there a variable that you can check?

Methinks there is a need to write a transparent store cookies on URL module.

No problems there. There were no static pages. I find cookies are used when one has a site static/dynamic pages. How do you keep a user if they click to a static page? I don't know. But one should always check if a user has cookies turned on. I recall an internal site I did for FedEx a few years back and I used cookies for it as it was before my mod_perl use. Well it turned out that the vice-president had cookies turned off.

apache::request and other newbie questions
I have a modperl script that uses. cgi.pm and actually I have been importing my on cgi params from get and post but do use cgi.pm for cookies. I have read in some other emails and now in the guide that it is faster to use Apache::Request so I want to change my script over to this method since it will eventually come under a heavy load. I added this to my perl.conf file PerlModule Apache::Request and apache says that it can not find the module in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/httpd/lib/perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . /etc/httpd/) sure enough, I looked in there and it isn't. I went to the module list and the list claims that apache::request is included with the standard dist of mod perl. I'm running Apache 1.3.9 and mod_perl/1.24_01 What should I do? Also, I have a script that is running under apache::registry. I run the script by using a mod-actions handler that I have in my httpd.conf file likeso. The script runs from a blank index.htm page and creates the dynamic output depending on the referring url and query-string Directory "/home/usr1/digital/membersurl/html/protected" AddHandler RTS-protected-htm htm Action RTS-protected-htm /perl/content_manager/handler.pl /Directory I imaginethis is not very efficient? I guess I will eventually have to set it up as a hander? What is your opinion? I'm new to packages and modules and have basically little experience with OOP. The script works fine with no errors, but I expect a heavy load in the future. I eventually want to have the correct solution but I'mtrying to beatthe learning curve before the traffic gets there. Can I set up the script now as a handler or does it have to be written in OO format? I do understand that a few things have to be changed, like I have to use apache::constants to finalize the handler phase. Reading several books and understanding more and more everyday. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks John Michael
Re: New mod_perl hacker wannabe . . .
I'm new to the list and have very little experience writing modules but have one concern because I have written quite a few perl scripts that send email alerts and I also ran a perl script that picked up 404 error through the doc error directive and know what kind of output is possible. Here it is. My server is constantly getting scanned by various hacking robots. I will get hundreds of these a day or more sometimes. [Sun Oct 28 18:51:00 2001] [error] [client 64.81.175.236] File does not exist: /home/usr1/digital/html/scripts/root.exe [Sun Oct 28 18:51:01 2001] [error] [client 64.81.175.236] File does not exist: /home/usr1/digital/html/MSADC/root.exe [Sun Oct 28 19:28:29 2001] [error] [client 64.81.41.2] File does not exist: /home/usr1/digital/html/scripts/root.exe I'm not even on an nt machine and they are scanning for windows files. I think these have something to do with a virus going around right now. You can't block the ips, because they are constantly changing. Your server would stressed to check the long list of blocked ips after a while. The problem is that your script will be possible sending out hundreds of emails or more a day of useless information.. You would need some kind of intellegent way to determine if it was a legitimate request for a seemingly legitimate document. Is that possible? Hope this doesn't discourage you.

Just looking for a little direction here. I'm just getting started learning perl and mod_perl (might as well jump in with both feet, right?). I am mostly just doing my own thing and trying to solve interesting little problems as they come up. A while back, I modified the Apache::CodeRed module on CPAN, written by Reuven Lerner to create Apache::Nimda. Now the CodeRed module hasn't had a single hit in almost 3 weeks, but Nimda still handles a good hundred or so each day. Well, I know that even Nimda won't last forever, and that module might need to be rewritten to handle general web based virii requesting Win based files, but that's minor. I'd eventually like to improve its configurability. Just today, I finished a new module - my first from scratch - for handling 404 errors. I know Apache::404 isn't a real imaginative name, but it works. Anyway, I'd like to know if it is customary for any schmuck who has deluded himself into thinking his module is the cat's ass to submit it to CPAN and put up a tile as a mod_perl hacker? Probably not, but I'd sure be happy to see some ideas and comments, slurs against my coding abilities . . . Well, try to go easy on the slurs :) If you care to check out the couple of little things I've done, and tell me what a dope I am for thinking anyone gives a cr@p, check out my little dinky page at http://www.keyslapper.org/modules/.

I changed it to:

PerlInitHandler Apache::DONE

Apache then started
And it looks for the module DONE.pm
So I guess you have to write the module for it to work.
I then changed it to:
LocationMatch \.(ida|exe)$
SetHandler perl-script
PerlInitHandler sub { return OK; }
/LocationMatch
and got this in the error log.
Argument OK isn't numeric.= tried changeing it from OK to 200 and
still did not work.
It did get rid of the file not found error.
So I changed the OK to 200 in this version and it does work.
LocationMatch \.(ida|exe)$
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler sub { return 200; }
/LocationMatch
I'm guessing this is because apache::constants have not been loaded at this
point.

Re: namespace-troubles
Not to beat a dead horse, because this subject is well over. Sorry, if I offended anyone. Anyway, I always get and often see others get: You obviously have not read the documentation answer. And wanted to put in my perspective being new to this list and trying to learn mod_perl. I love perl and have more than 15 books on the subject. Here is my list. Programming Perl Programming the Perl DBI Writing Apache Modules Object Oriented Perl = Damian Conway Advanced Perl Programming Perl Cookbook Perl for System Administration Regular Expressions Network Programming with Perl =Lincoln Stein's new book Perl in a Nutshell Web Client Programming Effective Perl Programming Mastering Aogorithms with Perl CGI Programming MySQL mSWL Official Guide to Programming with CGI.pm Learning Perl Programming Web Graphics Perl Core Language Plus the APache Book and some books that cover Perl and PHP on MySql I think your name, Parrin is on or around those books somewhere. I have seen it before. I know I have seen Randalls several times. He is famous for the answer: Stop limiting the limits. whenever you ask a question about limits on Apache. The answer doesn't tell you the answer to your problem. I know now not to use it though. I also have several links to perl sources and yes, the guide. I have read most of these and or something out of them and some of them more than once. I have also read the parts of the guide more than once. I have been doing this for around 3 or 4 years I guess. I tried to tackle mod_perl about a year ago, but with no success and am doing it again with moderate success. I think it is easy when you know something to write out an answer that you think everyone else will know. For instance, Once I had a file locking problem and some one said: Use a semephore file. A day later, I finally found out what a semephore file was. Often when I get an answer, I usually have to go back to the books to find out what it means or how to use it. The turnaround on problems can be days, trying every combination under the sun to see if it works. When I got the previous answer that said: Don't use -w and to use PerlWarn On, it took me about 30 minutes to figure out where to put it. I put it in the startup.pl file. Still hoping that was the right place. Still, when you run into problems with Mod_perl, there are really only a couple of places to look. And just because you have read something, doesn't mean that when a problem arises, the answer will hit you. I often find myself reading old material with more knowledge than when i previously read it and now understand things I didn't have a clue about before. Even though I have read and used a lot of this information, I can tell by the answers and talks you have on the list, that I am still pretty much an amateur. I think when people ask questions, they have not always just opened up an email and sent it out without thought. There is a great fear in that. You don't know what kind of answer you will get, whether you will understand it and have to ask another seemingly stupid question, or get flammed for doing so and never be able to ask a question again. I usually think about it for a couple of hours, try every combination I can think of, and look in every book I think will have something to do with it before tucking my tale and asking a list. Yes, sometimes I will ask before spending the time if I feel I don't have the time to try and find it myself, or have just spent 3 hours trying to solve another problem. Obviously, there are either too many sources or not enough. :) I can't tell. Too many places to look sometimes and not enough others. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to ask stupid questions and get answers instead of clever indirect put downs. Maybe, I just read too much into the emails because of my own insecurities with the language. IT is hard to get a feel for text based conversation. Anyway, I just wanted to put in my two cents and am thinking I might just get flammed for this as well. Should I send it? Sometimes I get this far on emails and just delete them.

Hmmm. You asked some questions that made it sound like you hadn't read the documentation, and you stil got 3 answers in 24 hours.

or instead of

There are situations where you can't use main() without the and I think it
has to do with predeclaring the sub which use subs will remedy. let me know
if this helps.
If that doesn't work, you will probably need to make the lib a package and

Kindof new to that as well and havn't experimented much with it.

Subject: namespace-troubles
I run into deep namespacetroubles I understand onyl vaguely and I cant
workaround:
I have a script running under mod_perl that is called via two domains.
www1.domain.at/
www2.domain.at/sub/
both of the above addresses lead to the very same script (its the same
file on the disk, not a copy). When I call the first adress all is
working fine, but as soon as I call the second adress I get a
server-error. Restarting apache and I try the second first: running
fine, but as soon as I call the first: server-error.
The log reveals:
Undefined subroutine Apache::ROOTwww1_2domain_2eat::main called at
/data/public/stage2/fetch.pl line 9.
or
Undefined subroutine
Apache::ROOTwww2_2edomain_2eat::editeinstieg::main called at
/data/public/stage2/fetch.pl line 9.
my script is structured like that:
fetch.pl:
require fetch.lib.pl
main();
-
---fetch.lib.pl:
sub main{
do everthing here
}
1;
As far I can see, the second call does not load the lib anymore, cause
it was already loaded on the first call. Unfortunately it was loaded
to a different namespace, so the script doesnt find it.
What can I do ? I need this different domains, cause the script-action
depends on the calling domain.
The reason why I splitted in script/lib is a document at apache.org
that recommends this to avoid a nested-sub-problem under mod_perl.
I wonder if providing the lib-file as module (use instead of require)
would be a solution, but I guess not. Can the above problem occure
with modules too ? If two scripts call the same module, is it only
loaded on the first call and the second script fails ??
thnx,
peter

Be careful of PerlRum! It will give you a wicked hangover!
PerlRun is a quick way to port dirty scripts that you can't take the
time to fix. It's the slowest way to run anything in mod_perl, but if
your script uses lots of globals, imports functions all over the place,
etc. you may have no choice.
I had a routine in the beginning of the program to initialze my variable
hash and query param like so:
## initialize globals ##
foreach (keys %VAR){$VAR{$_} = ;}
I did this so that these variables would not propogate to other
instances of the script.
This was causing the error.
I removed it and added a this small sub:
sub clean_up {
undef %VAR;
Apache::exit();
}
Is this the correct way to do this or even necessary?
It should not be necessary. Unless you have delcared these to be in a
separate package, PerlRun will clean them up after every request. Are
you declaring a package in your script?
The Apache::exit() function is still causing an error, but the script
runs and works but is evidently not exiting gracefully.
Why are you needing to exit? Maybe this is something that you can
avoid, and improve performance.
Also, I am running the script in an eval{ } block in order to trap
errors in the $@ variable.
IS this ok practice in mod-perl?
The entire script is in an eval block? You can do that, but if all you
want is a decent page when something fails, just put up your nice page
and set it up as the SERVER ERROR page in httpd.conf.
The scripts run, but sometimes through server errors.
I am getting the following errors.
[Tue Oct 23 06:57:27 2001] [error] PerlRun: `Not a CODE reference at

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Apache/PerlRun.pm line 212.
Things like this are usually the result of using libraries that don't
declare package names. Do you pull in a bunch of functions with
something like 'use mylib.pl' with no package names declared in
mylib.pl? There is more discussion about this in the guide. In fact,
all of this is in the guide.

Here is the code at line 57 in the script I have written handler.pl
assign_values(get_file("vars/variables.info"));
It calls these two subs to load
variables into the script.
#sub
get_file {my $file_name = shift;my @array;open (IFH, "$file_name")
|| error("Cannot open $file_name for get.","$!");@array =
IFH;close IFH;return @array;}sub
assign_values {my @array = @_;foreach (@array) {my $name =
"";my $value = "";chomp;($name, $value) =
split(/=/);$value =~ tr/+/ /;$value =~
s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;$value =~
s/!--(.|\n)*--//g;$VAR{$name} = $value;}return
1;}
I can't find out why I am getting these errors. I can
usually do an imediate refresh of the browser and the script will run
ok.
I am trying to get the scripts to run under
apache::perl.
Would it be easier to migrate straight over to

New to mod perl help
After my earlier attempts to use mod perl I had little success, so I have alittle more time, so I thought I would try it again. I have a couple ofquestions. I have read through the documentation and some of it is unclearsometimes until you really know what you are doing.I understand about using strict and vars.I know that the modperl script has to go in the httpd/perl folder so thatapache will recognize it.I also have modperl installed and setup correctly. The test script runs fine. However, I have about 20 virtual host that each all have their own cgi-bins. If I move the scripts into the httpd/perl folder, if I just require themfrom the virtual cgi-bins, will they work and how do I pass variables tothese scripts. These are just regular cgi scripts. I just wanted to gain the effects of the embedded interpreter and start experimenting with the script. Ido have some scripts that would probably benefit from them anyway. I'm just trying to figure out howit all ties together. As an example, I have a script that runs via server side include. When ever someone hits the web page with this include, the script runs, it keeps the referer, and also routes the user based on this referer. I use the same script on about 40 sites and the imformation the script keeps is kept in a seperate folder for each relative to where the script iwas called from. I call the script with a require statement and would like to try and get this thing working with modperl to reduce server load.thanks in advance--John Michael

source files use something like %%INCLUDE_HEADER%% for each part of the page
that changes and have the script use flat text files for the build. Have
the script traverse the tree of the source files writing the output to the
html directory. Whenver you update the flat text files, just run the script
from the command line or write it to run from the web with a password.
Mason does something similar I believe.
You can even have the script write in the %%INCLUDES%% dynamically if you
take in the input and assign it like so.
$$Var = $value; instead of $input{'key'} = $value;
Then do the substitutions like so.
foreach (@variables){
$template_txt =~ s/%%$_%%/$$_/gi;
}
Works great for me. You can then make any change to the source.html page
and the flat text file without having to change the script.

Not a mod perl solution, but it will work.

Using Mason to generate a set of HTML pages would not be too terribly
difficult.
If someone is interested in doing this and needs some guidance I'd be
happy to help. It would be nice to include an offline site builder with
Mason (or as a separate project).

Re: Which is good mailing list for perl developers.
Excuse me if I make an error. This is my first post to this list and not sure how it all fits together exactly. I just joined the news perl list you selected to have a look at it and now wonder why you don't put this mailing list in the same type of setup. There may be a way to do it that I don't know about and if there is, info greatly appreciated. Anyway, It is very tough keeping up with all of the emails and subjects. I now see that I should have joined with an email address created just for this list so that I could filter it to a folder somewhere. Anyway, why doesn't someone put this list on a news feeder. It would be much easier to maintain from a users point of view.

Actually, your best bet is on Usenet, not a mailing list: news:comp.lang.perl.misc
