To make things thing even more complicated I agree the need of a name with a sounding image, which will help mod_perl to grow into corporate computing (our future jobs). Recently I had a discussion with a Java programmer, who said that mod_perl is a try to save the obsolete language Perl. His argument was that only Java programmers are searched, especially here in Europe. So I see three requirements: - Having a name and logo which tells the truth, it's Perl and it was good. - The name should defer to Perl, should be it's own brand. - The sounding must be stronger then API > putting bars underneath the d and p of "modperl"? Just a suggestion First I liked the idea 'DP' oder 'dPerl'. On the other hand we have the A, which stands for Apache, Application ... A is first, is best. So I came to aPerl or Parl 'Practical Application R* Language'? On and on just some funny thoughts :-) BR Christian == beginn original == Date: Freitag, 15.

So, without further ado, point your web-browsers at: http://beverley2.digital-word.com/mod_perl/winner/ The winning logo, designed by Michael Demers (mike [at] inteo.com), won by a very clear majority. Congratulations Mike, and thanks for a great effort! The new mod_perl button vote resulted in a tie between two designs: Juergen Spechts' (the existing button) and new design by Tyler Rorabaugh. Following a brief discussion with Stas (stas [at] stason.org), I think it might be a good idea to have several mod_perl buttons, the idea being that a designer can then choose a button that doesn't conflict with his/her design. However, I request your comments on this idea: should we have just one button (helping to develop a distinct identity for mod_perl) or should we have several (for choice)? It's up to you... Thank you to everyone who participated in this project. Kudos to the designers for their efforts. Thanks to Stas for his input and ideas, and Eric Cholet for the voting script. Jonathan M.

Re: Site Host Providers that Support mod_perl?
Hello My company and Simplicity Ltd. are offering dedicated hosting, this includes: - A or some virtual host with access to own httpd.conf over Webmin - Ability to restart the server (!). - DNS for multiple hosts/domains, also the ones not with us. - FTP access by dedicated IP. - Mail domain and account mgmt. over Webmin. - Standard stats per domain. - Optionally mySQL account. - And of course mod_perl installed! - HTML::Mason ready (others upon request) - Midgard ready (sorry to mention this :-) The price? This might be very individual, not much cheaper than others (the economic ones). It really depends on traffic 10 MB or 10 GB per Month (including mail) or on additional RAM load (no cache limits, sexy servers). We specialize on individual services for SMB's who want to keep control over basic technologies. Feel free to give some details on your hosting project and you will get a straight offer.

Alright, I'm a total mod_perl newbie and would like to find a host for my personal site that allows me to develop mod_perl scripts. First off, I'm assuming that there is no way to install mod_perl on my current provider due to (obvious) access privilige restrictions to Apache? Secondly, the obvious question here, whom would you folks recommend for hosting services, assuming the afforementioned? Thanks! David === end original
mod_perl cookbook ... next steps
Yep! Thanks for the book, it just arrived Friday. So now I'm sitting on something what I wanted to do since a long time: Splitting all my logic in the PerlHandler into PerlInitHandler, PerlTransHandler, PerlAuthzHandler, PerlHandler and PerlCleanupHandler. I would catch user sessions in PerlInitHandler/PerlTransHandler, store/check them in PerlAuthzHandler, where I would also set the cookie, and close or refresh them in PerlCleanupHandler. The content would be created by PerlHandler, where I use HTML::Mason. As I need information between the stage of life, I would use $r->notes to communicate down the cycle. But then again, if I have some data tied to the session (I use Apache::Session), how can I give it to the PerlHandler. Is $r->notes proofed for any export, object or blessing behavior? Question: Is this approach ok, to be said, normal? BR Christian
Re: ANNOUNCE: Bricolage 1.2.0

Best Regards Christian - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - . == beginn original == Date: Freitag, 11. Januar 2002, 04:06:23 Subject: ANNOUNCE: Bricolage 1.2.0 I'd like to announce the release of Bricolage 1.2.0. It will shortly be available for download from http://bricolage.sourceforge.net/. This release features several bug fixes and quite a few important new features. It uses HTML::Mason exlusively for its UI, and uses either HTML::Mason or HTML::Template for its templating architecture. Here's a brief description of Bricolage: Bricolage is a full-featured, enterprise-class content management system. It offers a browser-based interface for ease-of use, a full-fledged templating system with complete programming language support for flexibility, and many other features. It operates in an Apache/mod_perl environment, and uses the PostgreSQL RDBMS for its repository. Here's a list of the changes from 1.0.2: VERSION 1.2.0 New Features * Added Context-sensitive, online help. [Sam] * Added separate interface for editing templates (via FTP). [Sam] * Added the ability to use HTML::Template Templates. [Sam] * Added ability for differnt Output Channels to function as different component roots for in Mason templates. This will allow for templates that can't be found in the current Output Channel to be searched for in other Output Channels. [David] * Added link to Event log to Find Story, Find Template, and Find Media screens. [David] * Added true previewing for media assets. Now, when you click their URIs to preview them, they will be distributed to the preview server(s) before redirecting the user to them, rather than just serving them up from where they live on the Bricolage file system. The latter can still be accessed under "Download" in the Media Asset profile. This will continue to be the preferred way to grab media files for editing and such, as it will not incur the overhead of distributing the media file. [David] * Allow only one template with a given name for a given category, element, burner and output channel. [Sam] * Added a Maintainer section to the About page. [David] * Updated About page to mimic the layout of the help pages. [David] Bug Fixes * Fixed a bug with local previews where a preview page could show up instead of the Bricoalge UI. Thanks to Sara for the spot. [David] * Fixed a bug where Mason component calls failed in previews when the PREVIEW_MASON directive was enabled. [David] * Changed default value for text area fields added via the form builder (i.e., in Contributor Type and Element profiles) to 0. The values 0 and "" always make the the new field unlimited in length. [David] * Fixed a couple of buttons to be proper case rather than upper case. [David] * Separated the filesystem destinations for assets burned for publication and for assets burned for previewing. This will prevent someone previewing and stomping all over a published version of an asset before the published version is distributed. [David] * Removed hard-coding of the local preview directory in httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf. Now using the values stored in PREVIEW_LOCAL, instead, to determine the proper directory. [David] * Added the DEF_MEDIA_TYPE directive. Bricolage will use the value in this directive to assign a Media Type to all file resources if they Bricolage can't figure it out from their file extentions. This fixes a bug where Bricolage would choke if it couldn't figure out the MediaType itself. [David] Enjoy!

Tie Database Manipulation
Basel, Donnerstag, 6. Dezember 2001, 20:39:06 . Hello I'm just in some considerations for data handling using mysql. I can not decide if I should work directly with sql statements near the displaylogic (as I like sql, simple and quick) or if I should build some functions and pack them to the back. Regarding mod_perl with mason (to be in topic) what is slimmer? Probably the second is less resource using? Tieing sounds on top of it the best. Now if I would start here by zero I could not finish it before Christmas, and my first simple db manipulation on mod_perl/mason should be up and running next week ... ...does somebody have some suggestion to show me the WAY OF CODE to start on :-) Right now I would inspire myself on MySQLMan (my old stuff is really crap and each time different).

You can also use the tie() feature of Perl to abstract read/write to database. In fact you can write a pretty flexible module to figure out many things, such as table name, col name, etc... Add Mason, EmbedPerl and you can compete with that company in Portland... what was their name? Micro...something...
