It sounds like you're not actually using the package statement: pack1.pm
should have a line at the beginning of the file saying 'package pack1;'
and pack2.pm should have a line saying 'package pack2;'
I'm only guessing what the problem is here, as you don't state exactly
what the error message is.

If the character you're getting is a circle with 4 'spokes' extending
from it to the top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right, then
it's working - however, that's the universal currency symbol.
For the euro, use € or €

Re: FW: mod_perl / PerlAuthenHandler question
It sounds like mod_perl is installed and running OK. Quoting from
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#limit>:
In the general case, access control directives
should not be placed within a section.
Do you need the section? Can you run without it?

Re: Using Constants from seperate file
What does 'Constants.lib' look like? Does it have a 'package' statement?
Does it use Exporter?
If it's a package then unless you've got some magic in 'Constants.lib',
that BEGIN block will not pull the constants into the current package -
the 'import' call is missing. (See perldoc -f use)
If it isn't a package, then it will only get pulled into the first
package that 'require's it. In this case you probably want to be using
'do "file"' rather than 'require', however it would probably be better
to convert the file into a proper package.
What's so terrible about loading the constants file at startup?

Re: mod_perl PerlAccessHandler/PerlAuthenHandler question
How is your mod_perl configured? Based on the error message you're getting, it appears that you may not have compiled in support for authentication or access control. If you built it yourself, you may need to add PERL_AUTHEN=1 and PERL_ACCESS=1 to the 'perl Makefile.PL' command line when building mod_perl. Unless you have reason not to, I'd recommend that you compile it with EVERYTHING=1.

IE 5.50.4807.2300 (SP2) on Win98SE I had different problems - the first time I went to the page, IE crashed my machine, so I had to reboot. After I'd rebooted I went back to the page.

I definitely agree with this. I'd like to see some more colour
variations (maybe just background colours even) to allow it to fit into
a site's design better.
Jonathan asked whether we should have just one button, or several. I'd
say just one theme, with several variations as mentioned above.
Others have suggested several buttons and I'm assuming they mean with
differing themes. I'm against that, as the point of a logo is to
reinforce the branding of mod_perl. Of course, if people don't want to
use this theme, they won't. That's fine. That's no worse than the
current situation.
Finally, I think the mod_perl/modperl/ModPerl/Mod_perl thing is a
non-issue. We all know what is being talked about, right? It's nowhere
near as bad as the .gif "hard 'G' or soft 'G'" or the vi "V.I. versus
'vie'" problems.

Re: Question...
Do you need to expire the cookie when you leave the page? How about the following. When they login, you send down a cookie. when they go to that page, you check the cookie they sent, but send out a new value for that cookie, invalidating it. So when they leave that page they send back your invalid cookie. When they go back to the page, they'll send the invalid cookie, and you can then prompt them to log in or whatever. You'll get the invalid cookie sent back for images on that page, but that usually isn't a problem.

(Please correct me if I am wrong. :) Do cookies get set if returned via an image? If so, once the user has logged in, you could return a page with invisible images on it, where each image is from each site that the user needs to be authenticated to. Each image is unimportant. The important bit is that an authentication cookie is set for each domain the image is returned from. This leaves one tricky point as far as I can see: you need to securely identify which image request comes from each user. The obvious/easy way would be to put some sort of unique identifier in the path or query string, but this may not be secure enough for your purposes. Oh yeah, it'd break if they didn't have images on. :-( Steve -- Steve Piner Web Applications Developer Marketview Limited http://www.marketview.co.nz

They are regular perl modules. They only run under mod_perl though. :-) If you can, use the CPAN shell to install modules, (see 'perldoc CPAN') Otherwise, download and extract the module then change into its directory.

PerlInitHandler w/o PerlPostReadRequestHandler.
I came across an unexpected feature of PerlInitHandler today. In the distant past, for whatever reason, I configured mod_perl to have PerlInitHandler, but not PerlPostReadRequestHandler. Today I tried to hook a handler to PerlPostReadRequestHandler, and got an error on start up, saying that I hadn't compiled it in. Rather than recompile Apache, I dug out the Eagle book to find another suitable handler. I discovered PerlInitHandler. The Eagle says that PerlInitHandler is an alias for PerlPostReadRequestHandler when used at the 'top-level' of a configuration file. Great, I thought. I'll try it. Apache started quite happily. But my handler wasn't being called. Hmm, I thought. So I had a closer read of the PerlInitHandler section, and noted it said *alias*. To cut the story short, I recompiled apache, adding the 'PERL_POST_READ_REQUEST=1' necessary. It worked perfectly first time. My question is this: should PerlInitHandler have given me an error message? Steve -- Steve Piner Web Applications Developer Marketview Limited http://www.marketview.co.nz

Thanks, but that's not it.
Allow => ['from 1.2.3.0/24', 'from 192.168.1.0/24'],
is treated as the directive 'Allow from 1.2.3.0/24 from 192.168.1.0/24'
which of course doesn't work.
Allow => [['from 1.2.3.0/24'], ['from 192.168.1.0/24']],
gives me the following error:
[Mon Jul 30 09:55:21 2001] [error] : allow requires at least two
arguments, 'from' followed by hostnames or IP-address wildcards
The Eagle says that directives that occur multiple times should be an
array of arrays. And it works when I'm not using a single arrayref for
the configuration.

Problem with arrayrefs in PSections
I've come across an oddity in configuring Apache through Perl sections.
If I have a local as follows,
my %access = (
Order => 'deny,allow',
Deny => 'from all',
Allow => [['from', '1.2.3.0/24'],
['from', '192.168.1.0/24']],
);
then set up locations (or directorys) as follows
%Location = (
'/server-status' => {
SetHandler => 'server-status',
%access,
},
'/server-info' => {
SetHandler => 'server-info',
%access,
},
);
Then only one of the locations will let me access it.
http://servername/server-status will let me in,
http://servername/server-info won't.
The problem seems to be with the shared reference: changing the 'Allow'
line above to
Allow => 'from all' works - though without the desired restriction of
course, as does
changing the code above to the following.
%Location = (
'/server-status' => {
SetHandler => 'server-status',
%access,
Allow => [['from', '1.2.3.0/24'],
['from', '192.168.1.0/24']],
},
'/server-info' => {
SetHandler => 'server-info',
%access,
Allow => [['from', '1.2.3.0/24'],
['from', '192.168.1.0/24']],
},
);
Is this a bug, a stupid-user problem, or something else?
I'm using Apache/1.3.20, mod_perl/1.25 and 1.26, and Perl v5.6.1

Re: Content-Disposition to change type and action?

The form always submits to a .html, and the browser usually > expects an html. My suggestion is to use mod_rewrite to create a mapping so that the actual file name doesn't matter. I have a rule in the Apache conf file: RewriteRule ^/reports/ /bin/report.pl [PT] So going to <http://www.mysite.com/reports/foo.csv?param1=val1> would be the same as going to <http://www.mysite.com/bin/report.pl?param1=val1> except if the page is to be downloaded, the browser will use the name foo.csv. There's another parameter which gets passed to /reports/whatever.csv to indicate that it should generate a csv, and send a suitable Content-Type, but getting the 'name' right solves half the problem.
