Re: HTTP and MPM support

I would prefer to see a mod_perl 2.6 or 3 against perl 5 rather than perl 6 - I think it wouldn't go to far against perl 6 as there isn't the uptake - we would be unlikely to migrate to a perl 6 backend - there is too much pressure already to move to an alternative language (python at the momen

Re: HTTP and MPM support

Agree with this we use AAA handlers - but more importantly output filters to allow content to be decorated per site (independent of what generates the content perl/java/php proxied content etc...} and add in a few useful extra logging features that rely on things like transHandlers and log & cl

Re: Future MPM Support?

Unfortunately Plack (and Catalyst especially) are a fairly poor comparison to using mod_perl properly {unfortunately very few people do so} I've looked at Dancer and Catalyst - both are OK at what they do - but they don't really handle things in the really clean easy way that mod_perl does {if

Re: Alternatives to CGI perl module

CGI.pm is still good - but i you are using modperl "properly" then it is worth look at APR, which when you use CGI.pm under mod_perl it is what is used under the hood... and is faster than CGI (one less level of abstraction) although there is a minor bug in it - in that is broken if you use mod

Re: Upgrade to Apache 2.4 breaks encoding in a PerlOutputFilterHandler

I knew it was a problem - but due to our set up of front end proxy / mod_perl then this wasn't an issue.. the mod_perl server handles the filter - and the front end proxy does the gzipping (we use Brocade Traffic Mangers and Apache in different places) - in most production environments this is

Re: Random segmentation fault

John, Sometimes it's difficult to see what the error is because you can't see the request (doesn't get logged) To get round this - add: * a transhandler which writes a tag (e.g. ST), the request and the PID to the error log * a cleanuphandler which does the same... with a different tag (

Re: Enquiry about mod_perl project state

I agree with Randolf, I have watched a number of projects move away from mod_perl - often to Dancer/ Catalyst etc and then they ask can I do X, Y or Z... I say "if you were using mod_perl you could do that easily" but usually find the tool chain for doing something similar in Dancer or Cataly

Re: Large File Download

You can effectively stream a file byte by byte - you just need to print a chunk at a time and mod_perl and apache will handle it appropriately... I do this all the time to handle large data downloads (the systems I manage are backed by peta bytes of data)... The art is often not in the output
