Embperl is a module for embedding Perl code in HTML pages. See
http://perl.apache.org/embperl/ (english) or http://www.ecos.de/embperl/
(german) for more informations.
This is hopefully the last release before the final 1.3 release. I have
added
some more session stuff and enhanced EmbperlObject. Please give it a try
and report me any problems.
Enjoy
Gerald
Changes since 1.3b5:
- Embperl now runs on ActiveState Perl. (At least in offline mode,
mod_perl mode seems to still have some problems). With a lot of help
from Randy Korbes.
- Changed EmbperlObject search order:
* If EMBPERL_OBJECT_STOPDIR is set, this directory is taken as
the last directory in the normal search path, instead of the
directory where the base template (EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE) is found.
* EMBPERL_OBJECT_ADDPATH is _always_ added to the search path
* Now Embperl also searches the path for files like
../foo.html, or bar/foo.html, which includes a relative path.
- ../* is now a shortcut for the requested file, but in the
parent directory (or upper depending on the search path)
- Added access to Embperl session handling for modules and
calling scripts (see SetupSession and GetSession)
- Embperl is now able to output binary data if EMBPERL_ESCMODE
and/or $escmode is zero. This also include that no CRLF is
added at the end of the file, if escmode is zero.
- Added method for deleting session data and cookie
- Added method for triggering resend of session cookie.
- Added Test for pnotes ('EMBPERL_ERRORS')
- Added hash %CLEANUPFILE. All variables defined into the files given
in this hash, are also cleanup at the end of the request.
Patch from Todd Eigenschink.
- Changed the way the C Requestobject is attached to the Perlobject,
so it should now also work on 64Bit Processor like Alpha.
Spotted by Andre Landwehr.
- Fixed a problem with importing files that contains foreach and
do until loops, which may caused a syntax error or endless
loop. Spotted by Steffen Geschke.
- embpcgi* and embpexec* are now geratated out of *.templ instead
of editied in place to avoid problems with cvs conflicts
and lower/uppercase on Win32. Suggest by Jens-Uwe Mager.
- make test works with Apache that has mod_jserv compiled in
- Embperl now cache same files with relative path, which are located
in different directories correctly.

AuthCookie consulting Basic for AuthZ?
Hello! I' m using AuthCookie for authentication, but I would like to use all the normal authorization possibilities in .htaccess files (especially 'require group', Limit and LimitExecpt). Do I have to implement all the handling of .htaccess directives in my AuthCookie-derived module? Is it possible to ask the Apache's Basic auth to do the authorization? A subrequest with some special headers maybe? Am I totally lost with this one? In my case the cookie does not contain the password neiher there is any flat user file (nor group file). So maybe some kludge must be done to give the Basic auth headers all the information needed (for example base64 coded username:password)? Any help greatly appreciated!!! -- Kari Nurmela, [EMAIL PROTECTED], (02) 333 8847 / (0400) 786 547

Installation problems!!!
I installed mod_perl 1.24 successfully ( the web server used is apache 1.3.9 and perl 5.004-4 ). No errors during configure, make , make test or make install. I added the loadmodule and addmodule lines to httpd.conf. But when I started the apache I get the following error message: "Starting httpd: httpd Syntax error on line 132 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libperl.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/libperl.so: undefined symbol: ap_ctx_get" Can anyone help me?

possible bug in mod_perl 1.24_01
I have had an application working under apache 1.3.12/mod_perl 1.24 for several months now with no problems. I am currently trying to make the jump to apache 1.3.14/mod_perl 1.24_01 (since mod_perl 1.24 will not easily build agains 1.3.14). When I do this, and then try to start apache, it goes into an infinite loop proocessing perl sections. The stack trace from gdb looks like this: #0 0x4010a6a1 in buffered_vfprintf (s=0xfbad2887, format=Cannot access memory at address 0xbf7ff184 ) at vfprintf.c:1736 1736vfprintf.c: No such file or directory.

Re: possible bug in mod_perl 1.24_01
I should also have mentioned: I am using perl 5.6.0, Linux 2.2.x I used the same perl / os for both apache1.3.12/mod_perl 1.24, and apache 1.3.14/mod_perl 1.24_01. Mike
Mod_perl, DBI, and Postgres install procedures...
Does anyone have a set of procedures to install Mod_perl, Apache, Postgres, DBI, DBI.pm, and anything else needed to make Modperl talk to a postgres database. I'm new to Linux and Mod_perl, and I've followed all the setup procedures I can find to do this, but I still cannot get a database connection. I think I'm just missing a step somewhere, and if I can get the procedures on how to do this from start to finish from one source, I think I'll be allright. I've been piecing together all the information I've found on the Internet, but I'm not having any luck. Currently I'm receiving the error Can't locate object method "connect" via package "DBI" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/DBI.pm in my error_log whenever I start up the apache server. I've tried installing using RPM's and using the source files, but I always end up with a similar error. Thanks in advance
Re: XML help (offtopic)?
Have you looked at SOAP::Lite and the rest of the SOAP:: hierarchy on CPAN? They may not be of direct help if you've already got a home-grown XML transport protocol, but it might give you some good ideas. And, it may save you lots of time in the long run if you can convert your home-grown XML system to use the SOAP standard. BTW, has anyone played with these SOAP modules much? Specifically, are they well-written / optimized for mod_perl? -Adi Geoffrey Gallaway wrote: I know this isnt the right place to ask this question but if someone could at least fill me in and point me in the right direction I'd be gratefull. I'm trying to find a way to do XML over HTTP. I have a project at work that I'm doing where we have a XML based system. The system would connect to port 80 and do XML over HTTP. I'm not exactly sure what this entails but I'm guessing using the HTTP protocall to send XML. So, you get the HTTP methods (GET, POST, HEAD, etc) and headers (Date, Server, Content-Type, etc) but with XML data instead of HTML. Now, I understand I could easily use apache to send XML data (GET) but I'm not to sure how I should handle receiving XML (POST). I definetly want to do the XML parsing and such with perl (I've been playing with XML::Parser, very cool). What am I missing? Thanks, sorry for being offtopic and for the bad explanation...

Its a great concept, and just seemed to work, except in certain cases, for example you can't pass a DBI handle over SOAP, obviously, and the same goes for globs and filehandles.
