I'm glad to announce a new version of the guide: http://perl.apache.org/guide/ As usually comments are very welcome!!! The Changes: * all.html has gone (all htmls in one) -- it became more than 1Mb, too big - use the PS version instead * reorg: moved the "perl reference" chapter to be one of the first ones, because it should be read first. Moved the strategies and implementations toward the middle. * snippets: started "Code Unloading" as hinted by Doug. * porting: updated "Output from system calls" (Doug) * porting: fixed the "\n\n" vs. "\r\n\r\n"(Philip Newton) * debug: added "Debugging when Server Crashes on Startup before Writing to Log File" (Cliff Rayman) * snippets: added "Redirecting While Maintaining Environment Variables" (Vivek Khera) * troubleshooting: added "libexec/libperl.so: open failed: No such file or directory" (Christophe Dupre) * performance: added "Upload/Download of Big Files" (Ken Williams) * install: added a reference to "Static debian package" (by David Huggins-Daines) * troubleshooting: added Windows: "Apache::DBI and PERL_STARTUP_DONE_CHECK" (Gerald Richter, Randy Kobes) * performance: added KeepAlive notes (Craig, Pascal Eeftinck) * performance: added HTML::Mason notes (Pascal Eeftinck) * porting: added new "die() and mod_perl" * porting/perl: moved most of the perl specific reference material into perl.pod removing duplications of this material on the way and replacing it with pointers to perl.pod * performance: rewritten "Object Methods Calls Versus Function Calls" * porting: FindBin is not mod_perl compatible (Andrei A. Voropaev, Joao Fonseca) * scenario: denoted the ProxyReceiveBufferSize limit by SO_RCVBUF in kernel (Vivek Khera) and kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=2621440 on BSD (Oleg Bartunov) * snippets: added "mysql backup and restore scripts" * snippets: added "Subclassing Apache::Request example" * snippets: added "CGI::params in the mod_perl-ish way" * debug: added "Using print() and Data::Dumper for Debugging" * snippets: started a "Sending email from mod_perl" topic * control: Preparing for Machine Reboot * download: added more load ballancing URLs * performance: added "Tuning with httperf" * intro: added "High-Profile Sites Running mod_perl" (Rex Staples) * review: Ged W. Haywood was very kind to review and correct the following chapters: start, intro, strategy, porting (!), databases, dbm, security. * install.pod: perl Makefile.PL troubleshooting - added "A test compilation with your Makefile configuration failed..." and "missing/misconfigured libgdbm.so" (Tom Brown and Steve Willer) * install.pod: make troubleshooting "unrecognized format specifier for..." during the build process (Scott Fagg) * porting: a bug in a script from "Exposing Apache::Registry secrets" spotted and fixed (John Deighan) * install.pod: integrated the "manual mod_perl build process" remarks and patch (Robin Berjon) * install.pod: don't put mod_perl sources in a sub-dir of Apache sources. It wouldn't build! (Ask Bjoern Hansen) * review: Dale Couch was very kind to review and correct the following chapters: porting Enjoy! _______________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stason.org/stas Perl,CGI,Apache,Linux,Web,Java,PC http://www.stason.org/stas/TULARC perl.apache.org modperl.sourcegarden.org perlmonth.com perl.org single o-> + single o-+ = singlesheaven http://www.singlesheaven.com
