Re: Should I use CGI.pm?

2000-11-29 Thread Thierry-Michel Barral

except it's a little buggy ! (Apache::Request)

I have been obliged to return to CGI.pm, coz libapreq cannot handle
correctly the multipart enctype, as for file upload

What about the 0.32 ?

I'm a bit underskilled to patch and compile such a tool, but If someone can
help me, I will be pleased to start the process.

Re: [ libapreq ] desesperatly need of .32 or .33

2000-11-22 Thread Thierry-Michel Barral



Thierry-Michel Barral [
Hi everyone,
I'm using Apache::Request, and I've encountered a bug !
please, could it be possible to see very very soon a new release ?
]


Doug mentioned to me at ApacheCon (or it may have been back at TPC) that
he would like someone else to take over maintainence of
Apache::Request. If nobody volunteers, I'm willing to look at doing so,
although I've only just started that long road into using XS, so I'm more
likely to spend time applying patches than writing them.


I'm not sure I can do it myself, sorry [not good/talented/... enough] :( .

It could be really great if you can spend some time applying the
patches...
For me, but I'm pretty sure others would be very happy, because, after a
glance at this mailing list, I've concluded each guy has is own libapreq !

thanks for your help, in advance :o)

[ libapreq ] desesperatly need of .32 or .33

2000-11-22 Thread Thierry-Michel Barral

Hi everyone,

I'm using Apache::Request, and I've encountered a bug !
[
I've done a POST multiform data, and the first field, a textarea, could contains at 
the end some garbage. Garbage because data is changing.
]

I'm quite sure [ after a quick glance at mod_perl ML archive] one of the patches 
proposed could solve the problem.

So I need desesperatly a new version of libapreq, the .32, or .33 if it's finished !

I do not know if Doug still maintains it, or if it's someone else.

But please, could it be possible to see very very soon a new release ?

thanks,

How to have a sub process or a fork ?

2000-05-06 Thread Thierry-Michel Barral



buongiorno a tutti, [sorry, but I'm currently 
listening Le Nozze di Figaro !]
 
I have a little question :
 
( I'm using mod_perl 1.23, scripts under 
Apache::Registry)
 
I have a script updating a db from parm given by 
the client, and building a HTML page.
 
The process of update is fast enough, but the 
building is a litlle too long, too many updates arriving.
 
I cannot stopping the frequency of updates (human 
!), so my question ;
 
Is it possible to have another process / script, 
allways running, which my script can talk ?
(I do not want to use the crontab)
 
Is a fork a good idea ?
 
Is a handler necessary here ? (frighten me, I'm 
just a beginner here)
 
thanks,
 
kktos
 
ps: thanks for your 
answers of my previous questions q:-D
 
 
 
 


[Q ]Differences between RequestNotes and Request ?

2000-05-05 Thread Thierry-Michel Barral



Hi there,
 
sorry for this "beginner question".
 
I use Apache::Request (no more CGI.pm), and it's 
fine for me (I use Apache::Registry for my scripts).
 
 
So, what are the diff betwenn Request and 
RequestNotes ?
Is it useful for perl scripts running under 
Registry, i.e no Apache handler for the moment
 
Useful only for handlers ?

 
I have another question, no connection from the previous 
one:
I believe using 
open FH "
is in fact a call to the shell. Right ?
So, in mod_perl, I prefer not to call the shell, so 
is
$fh= new IO::File($filename, "r");
a better solution ?
 
tia,
 
kktos
