I would like to append a small line of log information to a file on certain apache2 requests. For this application, I am very concerned about speed, so i'm looking for fast simple solutions.
I could stuff the information in the error log as per http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/Log.html, and parse it out later off-line, but I'd prefer to reserve the error log for errors. I could stuff the information in the access log, and likewise pull out the data later off-line: how might I get data to the access_log? The most natural place to append the information would be a dedicated file. I've never written to a file from mod_perl, and don't know the correct idiom (flock? etc?) to do so. I'd appreciate any pointers to recipes, modules, etc. to show me the correct (fast, reliable) way to append to a file under MP2. Thanks! :) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
