A while back you may remember I tried to implement a "Safe" version of Apache::Registry for ISP's so that they can get the speedups of mod_perl, without worrying too much about what users are doing to their server. Unfortunately it prevented useful things like DBI from working at all, so would be pretty much useless for any interactive content. However, some kind soul wrote a "SafeHole" - a hole in the safe compartment so that you can call methods outside of the safe compartment. I think this should allow us to make a working Apache::SafeRegistry while still allowing useful tools like DBI to be made to work, by supplying something like a "dbi_connect()" function through the hole. So the questions for the RFC are: - Would people find this useful? - What should we build in - DBI support is the obvious one, sessions maybe another, Apache API support is another. - What should the configuration API look like? -- <Matt/> Fastnet Software Ltd.
