Re: The latest templating system: PSP in DDJ
FWIW, Greg McCarroll is writing an article for perl.com on a short comparison of templating systems, and of course we'll have a talk on the subject at TPC by Perrin. Ahhh, 'short'. But that's another problem. I realize such articles are hard work, but (especially for those of us struggling to choose a templating system) is anybody collecting URIs of articles which give practical examples of using such systems?

Help: Image::Magick and Apache and mod_perl/ 'v' cgi-bin/
Folks
I'm using:
Apache/1.3.20 (Win32) mod_perl/1.25_01-dev mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6a running...
If I run the script (below) in d:/apache/mod_perl/ it works.
If I run it in d:/apache/cgi-bin I get this error:
Read(gradient:#ff-#ff) Warning 330: Unable to open file (#ff-#ff) [No
such file or directory]
However, if I uncomment lines 17 and 18 and run it in d:/apache/cgi-bin, it works,
even without lines 20 .. 22.
Note: Removing PATH from line 15 has no effect on this problem.
Note: Setting $ENV{'PATH'} in the code to be exactly the same as it is for any non-CGI
script has no effect on this problem.
Any ideas?

This is off topic, I know. I'm accessing your general knowledge, not your mod_perl knowledge. And the CGI script must run under Apache and Zeus. Exit mod_perl. Imagine a club membership db.

Did you consider using my module CGI::Explorer?
I wasn't aware of it's existence. I just now downloaded it and
played
with the demo. Unfortunately, it looks like it might not have
helped in
my case. It appears that it is doing a round trip to the server and
back on every open/close of a node. That's exactly what I had to
avoid.
Yes, it does a round trip. Such is life.
Our tree has 1000 elements (and growing) pulled dynamically out of
a
database. In a multi-user environment we don't want to be hitting
the
server that hard just for a navigational menu for every click of
every
user. We serve up the entire tree when the user logs in, and all of
the
state maintenance is handled client-side in terms of what's been
opened,
etc... we never go back to the server unless the user has requested
a
refresh of the tree. I could be wrong in how your module operates,
that's just from a 3 minute session with the demo. It's good that
you've made this available though, most people will have more
reasonably
sized and constructed trees than we do and should find that module
useful. :-)
Thanx.

PS - May want to take a look at it on Mozilla. There seemed to be
slight table layout issues on my Mozilla 1.0 (yeah, I need to

That may be due to me using some non-standard (Netscape-specific)
HTML. Eg 'absmiddle' as in
$q - img({src = $image, align = 'absmiddle', width = 17, height
= 17})
And when Mozilla has stabilized, in a year or so, I'll consider
installing it. Reports of its stability today are not going to sway
me :-). Such, too, is life.

The part of httpd.conf controlling /perl/. Note Dummy is not included
here, but the original module, which revealed the original bug, is:

PerlModule Apache::Reload

PerlSetVar ReloadAll Off
PerlSetVar ReloadModules CGI::Explorer DBIx::AdminEngine Monash::*

SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry

Order deny,allow

I'll keep working on the original problem.

Doc clarifications requested
Folks
(1)
On this page:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/compat/compat.html
Under this heading:
$r-args in an Array Context
I see this item:
if one wishes to simply read POST data, there is the more modern
{setup,should,get}_client_block API, and even more modern filter API.
Along with continued support for read(STDIN, ...) and $r-read($buf,
$r-headers_in-{'content-length'})
I feel the sentence stating with 'Along' should not belong under that
dot point. Also, it's not a complete sentence, so what does it mean?
(2)
Same page.
I see this text:
$r -is_main is not part of the mod_perl 2.0 API. Use !$r-main
instead.
(a) Is the '!' correct?
(b) Should it refer to is_inital_req
(c) Would it be possible to add a reference for is_initial_req?

Re: Skipped Tests (was: handler help)
We're getting out of my area of experience here, I don't use mod_perl2, but I hear there are recent changes to CGI.pm. Did you install the latest CGI.pm? You should. 73, Ged. For the record, the last CGI.pm which I could get to work under Win2K/IE 6 is 2.97. V 2.99 corrupts the string returned by $q - url() by %-etc encoding /-etc characters. -- Ron Savage, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 04/08/2003.

Re: Apache::Reload and INC path partialy working
Hi Folks Fascinating to see this on a non-Windows box. Reloading modules after they have been editied, eg httpd like so: PerlModule Apache::Reload PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload PerlSetVar ReloadAll Off PerlSetVar ReloadModules CGI CGI::Application ... Sweep::* works about 99% of the time under Win2K and XP. I've been assuming it's a Windows thing. Perhaps the problem lies deeper?
