Question...
Hello all, I need to know how to clear the $ENV variables. For example, I use a .htaccess file for specific directories which requires the user to enter userID and password. When they exit the page, I want them to have to re-enter userID and passwd if they enter the page again. Does anyone know how this is accomplished? TIA, Ron
Re: Knowing if a apache server is compiled with mod_perl
You want to parse through the info returned from... httpd -l For example, here's my httpd -l... trex% httpd -l Compiled-in modules: http_core.c mod_env.c mod_log_config.c mod_mime.c mod_negotiation.c mod_status.c mod_include.c mod_autoindex.c mod_dir.c mod_cgi.c mod_asis.c mod_imap.c mod_actions.c mod_userdir.c mod_alias.c mod_access.c mod_auth.c mod_setenvif.c Hope this helps! Ron Mat wrote: Hi everyone, I'd like to know if there is a simple way to find if an apache server is compiled with mod_perl and with which version. My aim is to write a script which compile mod_perl if it is not installed. For the moment I've found only two ways, launch the actual server and telnet it to parse the server signature. But it has the disadvantages of having the Apache server running and the server signature on. The other way would be to get the return of httpd -v, but I won't have the version and I think this won't work if the module is compiled in dso. So is it possible from the Apache binary to check mod_perl ? Cheers, Mat
Re: cgi-lib.pl
John, A number of good suggestions came by regarding this. Here's mine, use the following in place of your cgi-bin.pl include... use CGI qw(:cgi-lib :standard -debug); This will allow you to use CGI.pm and have it default to the cgi-lib commands you're used to. The -debug statement will allow you to run your scripts via command line and enter in the variable=value pairs that you would normally send via html form. Good luck and I hope this helps, Ron John Buwa wrote: Hello, I have a huge system i wrote using the cgi-lib.pl as its core. I attempted to integrate mod-perl with my system and all my cgi-lib.pl which are used via a require in all scripts returns errors. My dont work, if they do the act very strange and unacceptable. My question is how do i use cgi-lib.pl and mod-perl together? Is anyone doing this? How can it be done. Here is a common error in my log: [Mon Jul 23 05:38:06 2001] [error] Undefined subroutine Apache::ROOTwww_2emy_2ddomain_2ecom::cgi_2dbin::pads::welcome_2epl::ReadPar se called at /driveb/usr/web/webroot/cgi-bin/pads/welcome.pl line 7. Any info would be appreciated! John
Re: Questions Concerning Large Web-Site
Is there a good tutorial or book on the subject of constructing Perl modules? I too have done some of this and would like to create actual modules instead of required subroutines. Ron John Armstrong wrote: I'd convert each 'module' into a real Perl module( YourPackage::Search.pm etc ) and then configure it at the directory level. Location /search SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler YourPackageSpace::Search /Location Or you can just take your script and throw it into a single module's handler() routine : Location / SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler YourPackageSpace::YourNewModule /Location Your modules will be pre-compiled and your source is much more manageable in the future for other people involved in the project. I find it best to 'break' the boundary between CGI and ModPerl by generally _not_ writing '.pl' scripts and instead moving everything into pure modules. It just makes the conceptual jump between CGI and mod perl much easier for newbies who join the team. I'm sure it has performance and integration impacts that I am not to knowledgeable on though.

I need to rewrite it so that it works with mod-perl or PerlEx Anyway, I used to tie my site together with a main, and a ton of requires (which required pages of subroutines). I would use a hidden variable to do the navigation. So each time the user hit something, I directed them back to the main and used a hidden variable to go spawn a different subroutine. So it was basically a nested application. The site got large (a lot of perl code, over 20,000 lines), and it got slow because each user ended up recompiling the code for each submit. Lately as I am thinking about rebuilding the site, but not using a nested config, but just offering each page to be its own perl file. So when the user submits for a search, I just point them at the search.pl file. Sounds simple enough, but I work alone, and do not know how the world builds large sites. I was hoping to hear some simple input from people who have architected good, sound sites, and was hoping for some good feedback, or some old sample code that I can study and find out how the other half live. I hope this is not asking too much, Any input would be most helpful. Sincerely Scott Purcell
Re: XMas printing benchmark
Since when???
I've always done...
print"end_o_doc";
form action="../scripts/pgr_req03.cgi" method="post"
table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"
tr
td colspan="4"
div align="left"
font face="Arial" size="4" color="#80"
strongIndividual Requesting the Service:/strong
/font
br

em(Person filling out this form)/em
/font
/div
/td
/tr
tr
tdRequestor's Name/td
tdinput type="text" name="req_name"
value="$ldap_requestor{'fullname'}"/td
tdRequestor's Employee #/td
tdinput type="text" name="req_empno"
value="$ldap_requestor{'uid'}"/td
/tr
tr
tdRequestor's Phone/td
tdinput type="text" name="req_phone"
value="$ldap_requestor{'telephonenumber'}"/td
tdRequestor's E-mail Address/td
tdinput type="text" name="req_email"
value="$ldap_requestor{'mail'}"/td
/tr
end_o_doc
;
which works quite nicely and provides a very neat and indented source
page. It also allows me to use quotes without an escape character.
The only thing you _MUST_ have in column 1 is the "end_o_doc" indicating
the end of the text.
Problems with this???

Why? With HERE you can't indent your code:

Re: WindowsNT Explorer like look and feel??
I do not have a perl or mod_perl example. However in my "Javascript Manual of Style", there is an example of a WindowsNT Explorer like navigator. The code is too lengthy to post and I don't have it loaded myself. However, if you go to... http://www.he.net/~marcj/mos/ch5a.htm you can see an example of the program to see if that's the type of thing you're looking for. It's really a pretty neat procedure and makes navigating something like a manual very easy. You can also contact the author of the book (and code), Marc Johnson at... http://www.he.net/~marcj/index.html Perhaps a mod_perl procedure to build the javascript page which displays the navigational information? In any event, I hope this helps. Regards, Ron
Newbie help - mod_perl use
Hello all, I have built Apache 1.3.12 and mod_perl 1.22 and everything seems to be running fine. I have verified that mod_perl.c shows up as one of the compiled-in modules. How can I test or verify that my perl cgi scripts are actually running via mod_ perl rather than simply executing? Is there a section in some document you can point me to? Thanks regards, Ron
Re: Newbie help - mod_perl use
What does the following do for you... IfModule mod_perl.c Files *.pl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI /Files /IfModule The "Porting CGI Scripts" recommended including this in my httpd.conf file. I assumed it was so I didn't have to put all my scripts into a single directory. Is this not correct? Ron "J.

In order for you to get full mod_perl speed, you will need to put all of your mod_perl enabled cgi scripts into a directory and tell mod_perl to interpret that directory and all perl scripts contained within. Otherwise, you are just taking advantage of the built-in interpreter. Jon J. J. Horner Linux, Apache, Perl, Unix, Stronghold [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.knoxlug.org System has been up: 9 days.
