Do you have mod_perl staticly linked?  I use to have mod_perl loaded as a
DSO with simular results.
Was your Apache, Perl (what version?), and mod_perl (what version?) built
from source code all using the same compiler?

That's true, DM's SOAP module has mod_perl handler, but it's under 
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache namespace, and SOAP::Lite has also
Apache module under the same namespace, but it's just server
implementation, and Apache::SOAP's goal is to provide easy access to
implementation from configuration files (it is actually subclass of
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache).

> you are dedicated to supporting the full SOAP API (not sure what

First thing I did seven months ago was my email to Keith Brown
(author of DM's SOAP/Perl module) about possible ways for cooperation
and I'v been told that he's willing to, but design of his module
should be consistent with other DM's implementations and he has no
plans to change it. There was no easy way to combine our efforts and
I came up with another implementation. Don't want to praise myself,
but feature set seems to be pretty comparable with other toolkits. I
took ::Lite, just because SOAP namespace was already taken. It does
much more than you can expect from something with suffix Lite. "Lite
suffix reflects number of calories you should spend using this
module". 

> In that case, maybe you should call it Apache::SOAP::Lite rather
> than Apache::SOAP
I thought about it, and in fact I released UDDI::Lite, but I also
plan to release DBD::SOAP, DBIx::SOAP and couple of other modules and
don't want to put suffix Lite everywhere, it could lead to confusion.
Also I don't think (IMHO) that DevelopMentor will ever support their
module, since they abandon SOAP development in Java, C++ and Perl and
there is no other SOAP modules in Perl and I don't have plans to stop
development any time soon. Moreover, I have a long TODO list :).

Right, but there is no module specific code (it basically parameters
parsing), so I think I'll keep it inside SOAP::Lite for one more
version and then release as mod_soap.

It works actually with Velocigen and as far as I understand with
PerlEx also, but I don't have any information about SpeedyCGI. It
also provides Daemon, TCP, CGI, IO, POP3 interfaces on server side
(in addition to mod_perl and Apache::Registry) as well as COM
interface and  (hm, did I say already that I don't want to praise
myself?)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache::SOAP 0.47 (mod_soap)

2001-02-23 Thread Gunther Birznieks

Hmmm, I am under the impression that the DevelopMentor stuff has a mod_perl 
SOAP Handler (although I was never able to get it to work) so calling this 
one Apache::SOAP in the official name space seems a difficult sell unless 
you are dedicated to supporting the full SOAP API (not sure what SOAP::Lite 
leaves out).

In that case, maybe you should call it Apache::SOAP::Lite rather than 
Apache::SOAP

The benefit of breaking out Apache::SOAP(::Lite) into its own CPAN module 
is that it will be easier for people to find your module. People who see 
the APache::* module list and are looking for SOAP will say "Ah ha!" and 
find out about your SOAP::Lite module and vice versa. It's like getting two 
directory entries for the price of one. :)

The annoying thing about breaking it out in its own module is that you 
might be tying Apache::SOAP tightly to the version of SOAP::Lite. If you 
consistently release new versions of both at the same time, then it will be 
a pain for people to constantly know they have two packages to download 
instead of one (although I guess it can be bundled).

Another positive thing about keeping the bundle under SOAP::Lite is that 
you might consider releasing SOAP::Lite server code for other persistent 
engines like PerlEx, Velocigen, SpeedyCGI, etc... and you could eventually 
add drivers for these in the one package and presumably add SOAP Server 
code that is shared amongst all the servers instead of breaking them out in 
different packages.

Anyway, all I am saying is that in reply to your question about breaking 
out Apache::SOAP is ...

"It depends".

And hopefully these comments will help you decide for yourself what you'd 
like to do.

Thanks,
 Gunther

path_info *again*! help!!!

2001-02-23 Thread Pierre Phaneuf


So I have this very clean Red Hat 7.0 system:

[root@tetine httpd]# rpm -V apache mod_perl
[root@tetine httpd]#  

I download the Apache::TreeBrowser module from http://modperl.com/ and
put the TreeBrowser.pm file in /etc/httpd/Apache (which I just created).

At the very end of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, I add the following four
lines:


SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::TreeBrowser


I restart my web server (with "/etc/init.d/httpd restart"), wait a
little, then go fiddle with it.

*** It doesn't work. ***

The first part of path_info is "eaten" somewhere. Let me explain:

If I start at the root (http://127.0.0.1/), everything looks fine,
path_info is "/". I click on "bark". Now it's not fine, path_info still
says "/", URL says "/bark/" (just like my location bar in my browser)
and the web page says that I am at the "Tree Root" node.

Now, if I click *again* on "bark", I am now at /bark/bark/, the
path_info is "/bark/", the URL is "/bark/bark/" and the web page says
that I am at the "bark" node. The translated path says
/var/www/html/bark, even though there is no such directory, of course.

Now for the most interesting:

If I change the  into a , EVERYTHING IS
FINE. So this seems to be an exceptional case that happens only at /!?!

So what's going on here?!?

[ANNOUNCE] Apache::SOAP 0.47 (mod_soap)

2001-02-23 Thread Paul Kulchenko

Apache::SOAP provides SOAP server functionality by simply adding 
couple of line in .htaccess or .conf file. Based on SOAP::Lite 
module, hence inherits all functionality, like, for example, 
compression on wire introduced in last version. For now released as
part of SOAP::Lite module. 
Is there any value to ship it separately (probably as a mod_soap)? 

Module is available from www.soaplite.com or CPAN.

Documentation and examples are included. Any comments are very 
welcome.

Significant new features since 0.52:
  - much better OO API
  - new memory level setting to store only certain information

  - customizable Content-type: headers in http requests
(need content type "text/xml" for soap and xml/rpc)


NAME
   HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench - Perl API for Apache
   benchmarking and regression testing.

SYNOPSIS
 use HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench;

 my $b = HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench->new;

 # global configuration
 $b->concurrency(5);
 $b->priority("run_priority");

 # add HTTP request sequences (aka: runs)

GOALS
   This project is meant to be the foundation of a complete
   benchmarking and regression testing suite for an advanced,
   transaction-based mod_perl site.  We need to be able to
   stress our server to its limit while also having a way to
   verify the HTTP responses for correctness.  Since our site
   is transaction-based (as opposed to content-based), we
   needed to extend the single-URL ab model to a multiple-URL
   sequence model.

   ApacheBench is based on the Apache 1.3.12 ab code
   (src/support/ab.c).

You could defined a different port in your  tags.  Then you can start
thttpd to bind to that port.  You shouldn't have a problem binding to ports
higher that 1024(?) I think.  Unless they have done something to prevent
this which is doubtful.

Example:
http://www.foo.com:/test/test.gif">

Unfortunately it could mean changing lots of code on your site.  Of course,
you could use something like Apache::filter to alter your image tags on the
way out.  I don't think this would be a difficult issue though.  The main
thing is if you can bind to ports over 1024.

I have not used the APXS configuration method for a long time (due to
the inherent memory leaks it has), so I could imagine that a problem is
still lurking here. Could you try if the normal APACI mathod works? For
example:

perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING=1 DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 \
APACI_ARGS="--enable-module =most --enable-shared=max \
--disable-shared=perl --disable-shared=include"

It is the probably the import file with a dot thing ("#! ."), the
emulation I did in the past handled that differently. The dot thing
means importing from the main program, whereas before without the dot it
meant import later by use of the loadbind() system call explicetely. But
the native dlopen from AIX does not use loadbind(), so the old plug-ins
references back into the main part do not get resolved.

[OT] Re: Just learning, and a little stuck...

2001-02-23 Thread Steve Reppucci


Yes, this doesn't belong on this list.

But: Couple of immediate problems:

- If you pass a hash in an argument list, it gets inserted into the list
as just a sequence of key,value pairs -- there's no way in the subroutine
to determine that a hash was passed, as opposed to a simple list, or an
array.  You *can* pass it the way you're doing in your first example
(since the final thing you're taking off the argument list in the
subroutine is the hash), but I think most perl folks would agree that the
second example (passing a hash reference) is better form.
Obviously, this depends upon the semantics of the function you're
writing.

- 'shift' shifts one item off a list.  You seem to be inferring that it 
will shift off as many as needed -- you can just use a list assignment,
if that's what you want to do.

I think you want one of these options:

  &join( $db, \%post);

  sub join {
my ($db, $post_ref) = @_;
foreach $key (keys %$post_ref) {

or:

  &join( $db, %post);

  sub join {
my ($db, %post) = @_;
foreach $key (keys %post) {

No, you definitely want to limit yourself from using 'local' until you
understand the semantic differences between it and 'my'. 'Effective Perl
Programming', by Joseph Hall has a nice description of this.

I tried your patch on v5.6.1 trial2. It built and the resulting perl
passed all its tests.

However when I try to use this perl to build mod_perl, it doesn't
even succeed in performing the configuration. I use the
following configuration command:

/usr/local/bin/perl5.6.1 Makefile.PL  \
USE_APXS=1  WITH_APXS=/usr/local/bin/apxs  \
PERL_USELARGEFILES=0

No error messages are dispayed, the configuration just stops.
When I add a -w to the options I get 2 warnings:



PerlSSI.disabled (enable with PERL_SSI=1)

but with perl5.6.0 I also get these warnings:

Perl5.6.0 completes the configuration normally.

The only thing I can imagine is that the "new" perl is
trying to open modules in the 5.6.0 or 5.5.3 site_perl subdirectories,
and that there is an incompatibility with the link options. But I can't
imagine what that incompatibility is.

2001-02-23 Thread Alec Smith

This isn't specifically a mod_perl question, but something I'm having
trouble doing within mod_perl code. I'm far from a Perl expert, but I
try...

I've got a hash called %post which contains submitted form info and a
variable $db which is the result of a DBI->connect call. I need to take
these 2 values and pass them into a subroutine. I've tried something like

&join($db, %post);

sub join
{
   my ($db, %post) = shift (@_);
   ...

   foreach $key (keys(%post))
   {
...
   }
}

and

&join ($db, \%post);

sub join
{
  my ($db, $post) = shift (@_);

  foreach $key (keys(%$post))
  {
 %$post{$key} = $db->quote("%$post{$key}");
  }
}

Using CGI-based Perl I suppose I could just use local() instead of my()
to avoid having to pass arguments, but didn't think this would be
advisable in mod_perl code.

How can I manage to do what I'm trying to do?

[bug] PerlModule reloads modules twice on start

2001-02-23 Thread Stas Bekman

I've noticed an inconcistency between PerlModule and use() (and
PerlRequire and require()).

When Apache starts, it immediately restarts itself to see whether it can
sustain the reload. So when you have

PerlModule Apache::Registry

you will see:

Subroutine handler redefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Apache/Registry.pm line 27.
Subroutine compile redefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Apache/Registry.pm line 174.
Subroutine parse_cmdline redefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Apache/Registry.pm line 190.

but if you have:

use Apache::Registry;

in startup.pl/ sections, Perl won't reload the files, since they are
already in %INC.

So it looks to me that Perl{Module|Require} directives should check %INC,
before execute the load.

This behavior is seen under Perl 5.6.x (apache 1.3.17 /mod_perl-1.25). I
think that I didn't see it under 5.005_03.

And Matt, as I've told you before that I saw:

Subroutine import redefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/Reload.pm line 15.
Subroutine package_to_module redefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/Reload.pm line 22.
Subroutine register_module redefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/Reload.pm line 29.
Subroutine handler redefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Apache/Reload.pm line 48.

It has nothing to do with Apache::Reload.
