perl-script vs cgi-script
Hi,
I'm relatively new to perl so bear with me please. I'm seeing a strange
behavior with perl
When I use the following config in apache
ServerName perly
DocumentRoot /var/www/perl/perly
AddHandler perl-script .pl
PerlOptions ParseHeaders
PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlSendHeader On
Options Indexes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
The following code
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;
use Cwd;
use CGI::Pretty qw(:standard);
my %config = (
host => 'localhost',
database => 'perly',
username => 'root',
password => ''
);
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:".$config{'database'},
$config{'username'}, $config{'password'});
print header,
start_html(-title => 'Please Login',
-base => 'true',
-target => '_blank',
-meta => {'keywords' => 'login',
'description' => 'This is the login screen'},
-style => {'src'=>'/styles/style1.css'} );
require("/var/www/perl/perly/login.pl");
print end_html;
print "\n";
The login.pl file gets executed only once. Upon subsequent refreshes it
dissapears.
If I have AddHandler cgi-script .pl above, the script works fine.
Can someone please help me fix this issue?
Thanks,
Roland

Are there any errors in the error log? Can you log that it is being actually invoked? -- Randal L.

Re: perl-script vs cgi-script
Well, Anthony Esposito replied to me personally explaining that the files get compiled once, I suppose to speed things up. So, the login.pl gets rendered only once (when it's compiled), but not thereafter. The solution is to turn the stuff in login.pl into a method and invoke it later.
