Re: [Catalyst] server memory usage
You are right in this case: the pages would be shared just after the fork, but would probably start to get copied individually for each process again as soon as the process starts doing something useful. For perl, which works as some kind of JIT compiler, the script executable code is just data and probably gets rewritten very often, so each process would end with its own set of pages. I'd bet for a KSM capable machine and OS. You can activate and deactivate it, so benchmarking it with your app would be trivial. I would suppose that loading all the modules needed would generate the internal perl representation, and that won't change during execution. It doesn't get rewritten unless it's unloaded, which doesn't happen to named package contents. It's plausible that multiple fire-ups of the same program would wind up with identical pages, if no memory allocation ever depends on timing or anything other than static configuration. In Windows, the executable code of a process is backed by the exe file and shares physical pages with every process that loaded it. Paging out just forgets it, and paging it reads it from the exe file again. Would you know if Linux, with its fork/exec model, does likewise? Of course, I know that doesn't help the Perl code, which is data as far as the Kernel is concerned. FWIW, VMWare does its own KSM at a higher level, across virtual machines. So if that is possible it does reduce the real load on the host hardware. But it doesn't change how I'm billed! ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

Better yet, is there a rich editor or wiki- or phpbbs-like translator that I might use for soliciting the input that I might use instead?

[Catalyst] help with :Path and config
I want to make an admin page available on a URL that's not called admin, but is
something less obvious that people might guess. Even though it will have a password, it
will stop people from just trying to find it.
I thought to configure it using the normal config features:
use 5.10.1;

use Moose;
use Method::Signatures::Simple;
use namespace::autoclean;
BEGIN {extends 'Catalyst::Controller'; }
has url_name = (
is = 'ro',
required = 1,
);
method index($c) :Path($url_name) :Args(0) {}
However, the debug screen tells me that the Loaded Path action is /admin/$url_name. Why
did it take the stuff in parens as a literal string, when I didn't use any kind of quotes
around it? An example in the manual is
sub bar : Path('foo/bar') { }
which shows that it is quoted normally: not :Path(foo/bar).

That's a stretch, because you can argue that any side-effect is a change of state to the universe at large and there happens to be no accessor to read the results of the change. It clearly matches side effect, not state, unless you stretch the definition to make all side effects into state and lose all distinction.

That is certainly something the Controller is allowed to do, and is the Controller's responsibility.

As we can see by the above example, it's more or less the same amount of code.
In this example yes, you are right, because Mail::Builder::Simple requires very
few lines of code in any case, but if the mail sender is SMTP and needs to
specify the host name, possibily the port if it is not a common one, the
username and the password if it requires authentication, and also specify if it
uses SSL... then it would be more simple to use a model to access
Mail::Builder::Simple. The model is very thin anyway. But as you said...

[Catalyst] Sending Email from Page?
Any pointers as to the right (or best) way to send an email from my Catalyst App? I see there is a Plugin::Email and also a View::Email, which seems to be something totally different? Obviously any integrated module should be simpler than just calling sendmail or Email::Send::SMTP from the controller's function. However it's done, the question remains on how to properly secure the ability to send mail. The SMTP server on the machine is normally secured, with Postfix configured to require authentication and password to drop off new outgoing mail. A different port communicates with other public servers and only accepts messages for local delivery. My current idea is to set up another port on Postix that only allows local connections and only accepts mail TO: the addresses that are used by the web app. Is there a better (or simpler) way? ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

I didn't see any feature similar to the -r on the development server. Looking at the process list, I see lots of Apache2 processes, none named fastcgi.

[Catalyst] Basic help with deployment
I'm going through the Packt Publishing book, and I can't help but wonder first of all why I had to return to it, instead of finding this in the online documentation? I find tips on configuring fastcgi, but it completely leaves out all mention of the makefile and the available options! I did find some tips on using PAR instead, but I want to do the regular way since I should install modules on the server machine and don't need to end-run around cpan. So, following chapter 9 in that book, it states to run $ perl Makefile.PL $ make distclean but distclean removes the makefile itself, so make it again. $ make manifest inspect the MANIFEST file for junk and create a skip file, as needed. I notice the mysterious 'inc' directory is being included, but 'blib' is not. Finally, $ make dist and you get a tar.gz file. Then it states to copy the tarball to the server, and issue: $ tar xzvf MyApp-0.01. tar. gz $ cd MyApp $ perl Makefile.PL $ make make test Ah, but what is extracted is not a subdirectory called MyApp, but MyApp-0.01. This won't match the following instructions, and naturally doesn't match the Apache config file. Now maybe I should go with it and generate /var/www/MyApp/MyApp-0.01/files, and point all the Apache lines to the inner directory? This would facilitate switching them easily. Running tar from /var/www is problematic because doing this as a user can't create the directory, and doing it as root will create all the subdirs as root, not as the user. And it's called MyApp-0.01, not MyApp. Now, does 'make' by itself load the Perl dependancies? Copying it from dev to the Apache directory on the same machine, naturally everything was found, and it told me it checked. But I seem to recall there being a different make item that specifically populated any dependencies? Now, another question I need settled before I proceed: I found that I need to run cpan -i Module as root, because sometimes it needs to create directories. Does that mean that this 'make' step needs to be done as root? That's also why I want to use a make step that only does the Perl dependencies, so I can do that separately. Finally, the favicon is missing when I serve the app via Apache/fastCGI. The file is under static/favicon.ico, it just doesn't work. In general, how do I verify that Apache is indeed serving static content without going through the app, as intended?

uri_for() generates the URI as it needs to be accessed on the server and not as it

It will give:
a href=/path/eggs%20amp;%20ham.jpg?a=1amp;b=2label/a
In contrast, the 'uri' filter in TT converting any characters outside of the permitted
URI character set (as defined by RFC 2396) and that includes ||, |@|, |/|, |;|, |:|,
|=|, |+|, |?| and |$|.
The 'url' filter in TT is less aggressive, and does not include those.
The '' is a Reserved Character according to §2.2 of RFC 2396. That is what the code
sample you quoted notes: the set of reserved characters. They may have specific meanings
as delimiters within the overall URI, so should be escaped. Just skimming, I see that
it's reserved within the query component.

I also plan to start using SVG, so a flag that tells the TT template to give the IMG or the OBJECT, based on whether the browser is on the list of those chosen to get SVG. Looking toward the future, I'm hoping that IE9 will be a sea-change. So as with normal programming languages, I'm thinking that a new project should use up-to-date features. By chaining actions, you mean how http://site.com/foo/bar/baz will have a base action at foo, then more action at bar, etc? I don't think my current project works well for that.

The reason that example makes sense is because the underlying model/data is similar: searchable, sortable rows. If you're trying to shoehorn in something dissimilar, you might be making a mistake. -Ashley I'm not sure to what extent it is wise or correct. The whole point of models is that it abstracts the model and I can change where the data comes from later, right? So don't they all have an underlying abstract interface regardless of how they are sourced? I can see that DBIC itself abstracts which database is used; e.g. SQL Lite for testing and MySQL on a dedicated server for deployment. But I was thinking that the Model, over all, did a similar level of abstraction: change from a database to a XML file or other representation, and the data is still presented the same way. For example, I currently have 8 items, and want to just list them in Perl so I don't have to worry about another data representation or parsing it. But if needs to become user-changable or grows to a few dozen items, a separate XML file would be better. And if it grows to a search result of a few thousand items, it should be in a database. Clearly there are differences in capabilities of a Model: to wit, all in or searchable. And a full database can return different results depending on selected columns, across joins, etc. So I think the level of abstraction is that of a list of records. The View is given a list of records, and the Controller knows to pull it by name directly, perform a search on a more complex model, or access an attribute of a more encompassing model. It obtains the list and passes it to the View via the stash. The examples I've read using DBIC use [% WHILE ( item = list.next) %] and I can imagine that in general we don't have efficient random access to the rows; in C++ I would characterize this as a forward iterator or even weaker, if I can't make a copy of the earlier state and go forward a second time. I would have hoped that the TT [% FOREACH %] directive would work here. That seems like the natural means of abstracting the list. That is, the controller can set anything into the stash that FOREACH knows how to handle, including a plain Perl array. So, is it an oversight of the documentation examples or of the framework that FOREACH isn't used on the DBIC result set? --John ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
[Catalyst] Simple literal Model
I'm planning several web pages that will be the same except for the actual
content.
Rather than code the details in the TT template or prepare a list literally in
the Controller, I'm thinking that this ought to go into a Model.
But, it can just be a Perl declaration. Something like:
my @data= (
{ foo='bar', items=[qw/first second third/], bar='baz },
# 7 more rows
);
and add to that some subs to slice and dice the information so the TT doesn't
have to; e.g. give a list of all the foo's.
How do I create a static, literal Model?
And, what would its form be in order to make it properly abstract, so it
=could= be replaced with a standard DBIC or other model back-end without
affecting the code?

they won't work if you'll want to make some changes and want to put the whole
application to listen to a different base than /, for example /old-site.
So use $c-uri_for('/path/to/static/file');
or
$c-uri_for_action('/path/to/action'); #for the dynamic pages
I see, so do that for static files too, not just actions?
