If you're developing web under modperl + Mason,maybe you should read the book of 'Practical mod_perl' written by Stas Bekman.Below pieces are coming from this book:
6.4.10 END Blocks As the perlmod manpage explains, an END subroutine is executed when the Perl interpreter exits. In the mod_perl environment, the Perl interpreter exits only when the child process exits. Usually a single process serves many requests before it exits, so END blocks cannot be used if they are expected to do something at the end of each request's processing. If there is a need to run some code after a request has been processed, the $r->register_cleanup( ) function should be used. This function accepts a reference to a function to be called during the PerlCleanupHandler phase, which behaves just like the END block in the normal Perl environment. For example: $r->register_cleanup(sub { warn "$$ does cleanup\n" }); or: sub cleanup { warn "$$ does cleanup\n" }; $r->register_cleanup(\&cleanup); will run the registered code at the end of each request, similar to END blocks under mod_cgi. As you already know by now, Apache::Registry handles things differently. It does execute all END blocks encountered during compilation of Apache::Registry scripts at the end of each request, like mod_cgi does. That includes any END blocks defined in the packages use( )d by the scripts. If you want something to run only once in the parent process on shutdown and restart, you can use register_cleanup( ) in startup.pl: warn "parent pid is $$\n"; Apache->server->register_cleanup( sub { warn "server cleanup in $$\n" }); This is useful when some server-wide cleanup should be performed when the server is stopped or restarted. ---- Yonghua (Jeff) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: mason-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Thu, 24 Aug 2006 6:51 AM Subject: [Mason] Catching Apache Child Exit What is the Mason-native equivalent of an END {} block? That is, how can I trap the exiting of an apache child, and run my own code just before it goes away? Thanks. -- Patrick -- .------ Patrick M. Jordan ------.
