RE: canned footers
This already exists, can't get more canned than that. checkout mod_layout here: http://www.tangent.org/mod_layout/ Granted it's not a perl module, but it works and is rather customizable... -Original Message- From: Alex Menendez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 1:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: canned footers hello, all I am trying to write a module that generates a canned footer for all html and cgi pages on my site. the html part is pretty easy and I have already implemented it.

Re: canned footers
Have you looked at Apache::Sandwich from CPAN? It is easy to implement and I have used it for awhile now to add confidentiality headers and footers to pages in a small to medium site. cpan m /Apache::Sandwich/ Module id = Apache::Sandwich CPAN_USERID VKHERA (Vivek Khera [EMAIL PROTECTED]) CPAN_VERSION 2.04 CPAN_FILEV/VK/VKHERA/Apache-Sandwich-2.04.tar.gz MANPAGE Apache::Sandwich - Layered document (sandwich) maker INST_FILE/opt/gnu/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/Sandwich.pm INST_VERSION 2.04 It could most certainly be use as a basis for your needs and requirements. Peace.
Re: canned footers
Your right. this works great for html! Unfortunately, however, Apache sandwich really does not work for me because it only deals with GET requests and it can not deal with cgi requests directly. I would need to alter my cgi's in order to use sandwich. I am looking for a mod_perl solution that will add footers to unaltered stand alone cgis. any other ideas out there? thanx, -amen "Bruce W.

The only real trick is that you are responsible for the resulting "sandwich" to be valid HTML. Apache::Sandwich does not insert headers/footers in the right place within a complete HTML document. It just pastes text files together. That said, I find it most useful ;-) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D.Khera Communications, Inc.

Re: canned footers
Take a look at Apache::ProxyStuff. It requires you set another server (can be virtual) but it doesn't care about methods or content type.
