Hi,
I was wondering how graceful restarts of apache interact with modperl
and "pre-loaded" modules.
Specifically, if the apache parent process loads module Foo.pm, and I
modify Foo.pm, can I use a graceful restart to get the apache parent
to read the new version of Foo.pm?
Thanks,

I'm trying to use Smart::Comments with mod_perl. The problem is that
STDOUT and STDERR are blessed into the Apache class and they do not
have a TELL method. The Smart::Comments module has several references
to tell(STDOUT) and tell(STDERR).
Is there a way to implement a TELL method for these file

Hi -
I am using mod-perl 1.3.41 with perl 5.8.9.
The only perl I have in my config file is:
warn "This is a section in process $$ at time @{[time]}\n";
sleep(5);
warn "Done sleeping\n";
When I start it up in single process mode (-X), I'll something like
this on stderr (to the console):
The sections don't seem to be executed in the children.
Is there a way to determine which pass you are in?
For large mod_perl apps, is there a way to avoid loading your code in twice?
Note I am using mod_perl 1.3.41.
Thanks,

I'm trying to figure out how mod_perl and mod_rewrite work together.
This is with Apache 1.3.41, mod_perl 1.30, perl 5.8,9.

a mod_rewrite rule rewriting that location to another doesn't have any
effect.

Hi all,
On x86_64 I noticed that perl .so files (XS modules) appear to use a
lot more memory than they do on 32-bit architectures.
In particular, /proc/$$/smaps reports a ~ 2MB segment associated with
the .so library that is not reported in the 32-bit case.

Using RSS-SHARED instead of VSIZE-SHARED should fix the x86_64 issue I'm seeing.

So is this what you are suggesting...
Define $MAX_SIZE to be the largest length of POSTed data you will accept.
For modperl <= 2.0.4 just use a single read and hope for the best:

For modperl > 2.0.4 ( >= 2.0.5?) using this while-loop works:

mod_perl doesn't use Perl's filter layers. $r->print is an octet

Michael - what version of mod_perl are you using?
I want to send all error output to a process for specialized logging.
I know that you can use CustomLog with a pipe. However, will that
capture output from things like 'print STDERR ...' or if an XS module
directly writes to stderr? I need that output to also go to my logging
process.
Does anyone
One operational issue with this is that if the logger process dies,
existing httpd processes will get a SIGPIPE signal on subsequent
writes. Restarting the logger process does not restore the lost
connections.

My concern is about what happens in this scenario:
When diving into a large code base and trying to understand how it
works, one thing that would be very helpful to know is how control
gets to a particular point in the code. That is, for a given
subroutine, what does the stack look like when the subroutine is
executed?
This is similar to what dtra
