Subject: Using EmbPerl's Caching Functionality
As part of my performance tuning, I thought I'd also give the new caching
functionality a whirl. I did get it to work, and when it did, it worked very
well (thanks Gerald). BTW, I found some posts from people that want the cache
to be disk-backed, but I MUCH prefer it to be in memory, as being disk-backed
would produce much worse performance that dynamically generating pages for me,
especially under high-load.
I did encounter a couple problems, one of them is still preventing me from
using the caching.
1) I couldn't get EMBPERL_CACHE_KEY_FUNC, or EMBPERL_EXPIRES_FUNC to work in my
httpd.conf (and I do have Embperl_UseEnv on) Trying to set either one would
cause Apache to seg fault.
Setting
EMBPERL_CACHE_KEY_FUNC "sub {$ENV{REQUEST_URI}}"
or
EMBPERL_EXPIRES_FUNC "sub {1}"
...and making a request would cause the following in the error_log:
[Mon Dec 19 16:38:23 2005] [notice] child pid 9518 exit signal Segmentation
fault (11)
2) I got the EMBPERL_EXPIRES_FUNC functionality to work by specifying and
EXPIRES sub in my base.epl. As in:
[!
sub EXPIRES {
<decide to return 0 or 1>
}
!]
However, I couldn't get the documented &CACHE_KEY sub to get invoked. I tested
by putting a print to STDERR, which never printed anything. This prevents me,
and probably others from using the caching because EmbPerl's default
computation of a cache key doesn't seem to make a distinction between:
- http://coolhost.com/foobar
and
- http://coolhost.com/helloworld
...which is a very important distinction on my site, thus I would get the
/foobar page, when making a request for /helloworld, or vice versa.
Does anybody have any working sample of the EMBPERL_CACHE_KEY_FUNC?
Happy Holidays,
-Carl
