Re: templating system opinions
I wanted to add that you *can* use Mason for MVC type programming. I do that on my current big project, www.better-investing.org, in the admin areas. I have a controller index.html page which chooses what component to run based on a run mode, just like CGI::Application, but then gives me all of the other stuff like autohandlers for the display. I'm using Template Toolkit and Apache Handlers (which work like CGI::Application) for another project. I'm not sure which I like better at the moment. I'm much faster in Mason still. -- Barry Hoggard Tristan Media LLC e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.tristanmedia.com aim: hoggardb
Re: templating system opinions
Jesse Erlbaum wrote: The big players are Template::Toolkit and HTML::Template. It's no secret that I'm a fan of HTML::Template -- Sam and I worked together when he wrote it, and my module, CGI::Application, uses it out of the box (although it does support TT). I use HTML::Template because designers can't be trusted to set variables. Boolean logic is about all their simple minds can handle. Anything which doesn't look like HTML is likely to cause them to have a stroke. Yes, I'm a programmer-snob and a fascist, and I like to take sharp objects away from the gentle creative types. Aside from the fact that HTML::Template uses less RAM and is faster than TT, this is the foremost reason I continue to use it. I used to use HTML::Template for projects, but I moved to Template::Toolkit because I felt the former's syntax was just too limited. I know we want to separate code and logic, but H::T keeps me from even referencing the attribute of an object. You can't say TMPL_VAR NAME=user.name and pass in a user object with the attribute (method) or even a hash key called name. You have to either treating it like a loop with one item (because loops use arrayrefs of hashrefs) or flatten it into variable names in your code. In a good OO system with objects representing the data model, I found it exhausting to use H::T when I could just to this in TT: [% user.name %] Am I just being stupid, or are there better ways of doing these things in H::T? -- Barry Hoggard Tristan Media LLC e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.tristanmedia.com aim: hoggardb
Re: [OT] Better Linux server platform: Redhat or SuSe?
Since everyone's become distracted by the lines of code number, I answered a few of the questions that I feel I can answer. Apache/modperl installation and updates: I assume installation is straight forward, how about keeping current? As those are remotely administered platforms, chances are the OS may not be kept current. So is it still easy to deal with security updates (Apache, sshd, bind etc) when the platform is a couple of years old? With FreeBSD this has become somewhat harder lately (still running 3.x, but the ports system doesn't support 3.x any longer). You're talking about using their packages? I suspect most people on this list build their own apache/mod_perl binaries. Remote maintability: Is it possible to remotely upgrade between OS versions for either of those platforms (not a must, but would be a plus)? I would be afraid to do that remotely, since it normally involved a kernel change as well. Sendmail: Does the system make it easy to replace sendmail with another mailer of choice (qmail in my case)? I don't know about Red Hat, but it's certainly easy in SuSE. Footprint: Is it easy to weed out unused system components to have a smaller footprint of the OS? Or does that mean fighting the installer left and right? I don't know if Red Hat is getting any better, but I've always found it difficult to do a minimal install. SuSE has options for a very minimal install which is what I use for server installs. perl: Any iussues with perl/modperl? Besides modperl I will be running a perl application with a few hundred thousend lines of code... My current project: http://www.better-investing.org runs on Red Hat. I'm not aware of any perl/mod_perl issues, but I built perl and the apache binaries myself. I don't use their RPMs. Security: Is it easy to 'tie down' the system? The web site is behind a firewall and load balancers, so the web servers themselves don't have ipchains, etc. but they also aren't running any services available to the outside except http and ssh. Software-based RAID 1: Is it usable (only for a data partition, not required for the root partition)? Is it easy to recover from a broken disk? Robustness: While almost all systems I have are/will be on UPSs, they still tend to occasionally be 'unplugged' (not shut down cleanly), be it due to an empty or dead UPS battery, someone tripping over or accidentaly unplugging the power cable etc. etc. Does the system tend to survive the then due fsck without manual intervention? Better yet, would it be possible to mount / and /usr read-only, and have a /var partition that (if the worst should happen) can be recreated on the fly? Can't help you on RAID, but I have found SuSE with ext3 or ReiserFS to be VERY recoverable. -- Barry Hoggard Tristan Media LLC e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] p: 212-627-1596 aim: hoggardb
Re: separating C from V in MVC
I forgot to ask one thing about Jesse's comments. I don't think the standard HTML::Template has support for formatting numbers, dates, etc. How do you make sure that it's done consistently in your applications? It seems problematic to me to require the programmers to do work when a designer wants to change the number of decimals in a page, for example. -- Barry Hoggard Tristan Media LLC e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] p: 212-627-1596 aim: hoggardb
Re: separating C from V in MVC
Jesse Erlbaum wrote:
As you have already identified, the Model is simply a Perl module. The most
important thing to think of when writing a Model module is to make sure you
make it entirely separate from the user interface. It helps me to think of
the methods in the Model as potentially being called from a web application,
a cron script, or an email-based interface. The Model should not contain
anything specific about any of the interfaces through which it might be
accessed.
Hi, Jesse. I think this part is probably an evolution from the earlier
days of CGI::Application, at least in the applications your company
wrote for my former, now defunct, employer. :)
There was a tendency to make the CGI::Application-derived modules both M
and V. I'm glad to see that's less the case these days.
My current approach is to use Mason for implementing the controller and
view, with a lot of the business logic put in the model. I'm probably
going to explore using CGI::Application and either HTML::Template or
Template Toolkit for a current side project.
Do you have a favorite approach for writing the Model objects? At
Investorama we created a class called TableObject that would deal with
getting/setting values from the database, plus doing data verification
like checking for values being present and well-formed XML in fields
that needed it. I still use that approach on my consulting projects.
It's not a very complex object, and it doesn't do things recursively,
like mapping an attribute to an object and handling that object as well.
TableObject doesn't act as a base class. It just becomes one of the
attributes of the object.
A typical invocation is something like this:
my %fields = (
id = { type = 'num', pkey = 1, sequence = 'seq_users' },
email = { type = 'string', required = 1 },
password = { type = 'string', required = 1 },
first_name = { type = 'string', required = 1 },
last_name = { type = 'string', required = 1 },
valid = { type = 'num', required = 1},
member_id = { type = 'num' },
);
my $table = NAIC::TableObject-new(DBH = $self-dbh,
OBJECT = $self,
TABLE = 'users',
FIELDS = \%fields,
VERIFY = 1);
$table is then put into $self as an attribute called '_table'.
Storing/retrieving/verifying are done with $self-_table-store etc. It
expects that the attributes of an object like $self-email match the
database columns.

Re: [OT] Inspired by closing comments from the UBB thread.
I think a lot of people's approach, including mine, is to have OO Perl modules for all database access. In my code (I use Mason), a web page only gets its data through calls like this: my $obj = NAIC::User-(DBH=$dbh, EMAIL='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'); $obj-load; my $groups_list = $obj-groups(); That way any needed SQL changes, or even ports to a new database, don't have to be done everywhere in my code.

HTML::Mason/ AxKit / Apache::Filter
Does anyone have this combination working? I'm using Mason 0.89, Filter
1.011. I'm getting my files twice, and headers twice.
I have asked on the Mason and AxKit mailing lists, but we haven't been able

I'm trying to debug using HTML::Mason as the provider (using Apache::Filter)
for AxKit's XML step. I'm forwarding mine and Matt's discussion so far to

Apache::Filter is 1.011
HTML::Mason is 0.89.

and it's attempting its own XSLT transformation):

Re: Templating System
Thanks for the information below, Ian. Our site is very content-oriented, and a lot of our business projects are starting to involve things like co-branding and licensing content, so I'm very interested to hear more about how you are integrating XSLT and Mason. Do you generate XML documents in mason and then transform them via XSLT? Are individual components responsible for their own transformations, or do you do it all at the end with the whole page? I agree that HTML::Mason is awesome, and the fact that it parses components into anonymous perl subs gives it great performance. The other aspect that's so great is its cacheing system, which can be so easily controlled programmatically. At 07:26 AM 7/27/00 -0700, Ian Kallen wrote: I'm not going to disparage any of the other templating systems but since noone has chimed in for HTML::Mason, I guess I'll have to. Important aspects of such a beast is componentization, not just "mail merge" behaviors. Mason components can be just HTML (or XML or fooML) or just Perl or both. The "heavy lifting" can be moved to the bottom of a page so you can get away from top to bottom processing whih generall demands expressing complex code in the middle of HTML. Caching by distilling components down into Perl code. In many other respects, the API, the execution and the object models are the most empowering. My current focus is on using Mason as a component system but XSLT when I need ad-hoc transformation a la AxKit, Cocoon and other XSLT processor-based systems.

"redirect" to www.domain.net. They are both the exact same web
site, I
simply want the domain name to show up as www.domain.net. Any
thoughs
on how to do that?

Re: Re: Re: redirecting a domain [OT]
Nothing is wrong with that solution if you only have a few domains.
We own a lot of misspellings of our company name, so I don't want to
add each of them individually to the conf file.

No! That's a silly way to do it. You want to use mod_rewrite.
Here's the relevant part of my httpd.conf:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.investorama.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule /?(.*) http://www.investorama.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
Too complicated. What's wrong with this:
VirtualHost ip.of.domain.org
ServerName www.domain.org
Redirect permanent / http://www.domain.net/
/VirtualHost

Re: Problem running LWP under modperl (LONG)
The line where it dies is here (warnings added by me) in LWP::Protocol::http. I never get the second warning under Registry. warn "CREATING SELECT with $socket"; my $sel = IO::Select-new($socket) if $timeout; warn "SELECT CREATED"; hmm, any difference if you add 'PerlModule IO::Select' to httpd.conf? No difference. I see IO::Select in my perl-status modules list. Could it be a problem of shared .so perl? Is that what you're using, or the libperl.a version? -- Barry Hoggard http://www.investorama.com voice: 212-741-7954 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
