I'm using mod_perl. Basically I want to be able to set the $r->output
or a template variable to the output from another uri. Something like
this in the model:
$r->output = wget 'https://secure.myoldsite.net/beer';
I don't think there's a particular way to do it. One solution would be:
For a start I'd use LWP::simple, or WWW::Mechanize for that kind of
thing, depending on the complexity of your needs (i.e. either trivial
or not trivial - wget is handy but probably not here).
Then I'd stash the output of either of those modules into somewhere
in $r (probably in template_args), and then have a template that
serves up the portion of $r to the user when they visit http://
my.host.name/app/external_data/ or wherever.
It would be easy to start caching things in your database - use the
Net::Amazon example in Manual::Request (code in SVN docs is cleaner)
as a starting base for this kind of thing.
