Re: [cgiapp] CGI::Application::Dispatch Install Issues
Hello Todd, I had the same issues, see bug: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=33498 I found that I needed to patch a Build.PL and Makefile.PL when Apache::Test wasn't installed. There are patches attached to the bug, give them a try. I'm pretty confident they will work (that probably means something is mucked up with them :) Good Luck, Lee - Original Message From: Todd Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CGI Application cgiapp@lists.erlbaum.net Sent: Friday, March 7, 2008 9:34:00 AM Subject: [cgiapp] CGI::Application::Dispatch Install Issues I've seen quite a few posts on this list concerning CGI::Application::Dispatch.

I am using HTML::Template and CGI::Application::Plugin::ValidateRM. Page content is generated dynamically which works fine until a validation error occurs. Unfortunately err_TMPL_VAR field_name is not valid H::T. Could you provide a more complete example? I have been using ValidateRM and H::T with complex websites for years and haven't gotten stuck here. I suspect there's another way to accomplish your goal while still using sing these tools.

The next thing I found is that the environment contains the correct runmode. But, the C::A instance thinks it's a different run mode. You can add something to his webApp.pm to dump the environment and you'll see it has rm=1 even though the method for runmode 2 is being executed. I was going to dump the query object and then discovered, if I do my $q = $self-query() anywhere in webApp.pm, the problem disappears. So, it seems like cgi.pm is persisting. But, I don't understand how. I'm to the end of my capability. If you can figure it out it would be interesting to know what's going on.

Re: [cgiapp] CGI::Application::Dispatch Install Issues
Hello Michael,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/perltemp/CGI-Application-Dispatch-2.12] perl
Makefile.PL
This module can optionally use Apache::Test to test the mod_perl
functionality.
Undefined subroutine ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt called at
Makefile.PL
line 31, DATA line 547.
I'm curious about this one. I'm not sure which version of
ExtUtils::MakeMaker
added prompt (it's in at least 6.31, but I don't know about
6.30). It works just
fine for me.
This isn't a problem with ExtUtils::MakeMaker not having prompt in some old
version, it is an issue with trying to use the 'prompt' sub before requiring
the library. The require of it occurs only if you install module::build above,
if you have it installed it makemaker won't get loaded.
snippet
# see if they have Apache::Test, if not, ask if they want it
my $build_pkg = 'Module::Build'; unless(eval use Apache::Test 1.30; 1) {
print This module can optionally use Apache::Test to test the mod_perl
functionality.\n;
my $yn = ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt(' Install Apache::Test now from
CPAN?', 'y');
/snippet
I am trying to be smarter than the average Makefile.PL, but I
just seem to be
getting more trouble then it's work at this point. I'll probably
just go back to
being dumb and not run the Apache/mod_perl tests unless the person
already have
Apache::Test installed.
I think its nice to try this. These problems aren't anything major.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/perltemp/CGI-Application-Dispatch-2.12] perl
Build.PL
Can't locate object method new via package Module::Build
(perhaps you
forgot to load Module::Build?) at Build.PL line 2.
You need to install Module::Build using CPAN.
I had Module::Build installed, the problem was w/out apache::testmb it didn't
try to require or use it.
Here is the snippet from the Build.PL:
my $build_pkg = eval require Apache::TestMB ? 'Apache::TestMB' :
'Module::Build';
my $build = $build_pkg-new( ...
If you notice Module::Build is never loaded.
Is there a known problem with CGI::Application::Dispatch? How have
others
installed this?
I had these same issues but once I patched the Makefile.PL and Build.PL it
worked just fine.
These are really small things and nothing to get angry about. Thanks for your
work on C:A:Dispatch, it is a great tool.
Take Care,
Lee

Re: [cgiapp] cgiapp with Net::Server
Hi Mark The sample code uses Net::Server::PreFork. I'm not sure, but if you have multiple server processes waiting for connexions, it's possible the first run mode is run inside one process, and the second run mode is run inside a different process, right? That would explain how a run mode is fixed inside a given process. -- Ron Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://savage.net.au/index.html # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####

I don't know. But, each process has the correct environment. For
example if you add print $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to Turston's WebApp.pm
(in each run-mode method), it will show that the URI has the correct
run mode. But, that's *not* the runmode C:A knows about.
It seems like CGI.pm is remaining persistent. But, I don't understand
why because the WebApp.pm is created new each time.
And, like I said, if you add my $q = $self-query() somewhere in
WebApp.pm the odd behavior stops. It also stops if I add a
cgiapp_get_query method to use CGI::Simple.
Turston's ok with using fork instead of PreFork. It's still puzzling
though. And beyond my capability to figure out.

Re: [cgiapp] Test Failures with CGI::Application::Plugin::TT
Hi Michael, I knew about these problems already because of the amazing CPAN testers. However, I was waiting for someone to pipe up that might help me in solving the problems :) The first two problems look to be cosmetic issues in Template Toolkit (ie it is using the wrong path separator on windows). My guess is that this doesn't actually cause any problems, but we should be able to fix the test suite to account for it. Like you said, the third problem looks like it could be an issue (although it is only an issue with the new precompile feature, so upgrading on windows should still be safe if you avoid that new feature). I don't have a windows box to play with so there is not much I can do to fix this. I would appreciate if someone could take a few minutes to do some debugging. A patch would be greatly appreciated, and/or SVN access to my CAP::TT repo can be organized for anyone willing to put in a bit of time to fix this problem.

Re: [cgiapp] cgiapp with Net::Server
Browsing the source for CGI.pm I noticed it calls initialize_globals() when the class is loaded, but not when instances are created. But, it does call it for each instance if the mod_perl environment variable is set. (But, that does other things you wouldn't want to do if you're not really using mod_perl). I also noticed that it detects ActiveState's PerlEx (persistent Perl utility) and calls _reset_globals which calls initialize_globals. I added a teardown method to Torsten's WebApp.pm and called $self-query()-initialize_globals(). The problem disappeared. (I used teardown because that was the only place I could think to do it. I guess a cgiapp_get_query would be more appropriate. Do the new and then initialize_globals.). So, it's definitely an issue with CGI.pm. Apparently the params are globals (class data). And, it doesn't have a catch-all persistence flag. It has a flag for mod_perl. And, detects PerlEx. But, if you use something else (like Net::Server's prefork) you're screwed. CGI::Simple doesn't have this problem. The params aren't class data. And, it calls initialize_globals with each instance (without going through a bunch of questions about mod_perl or perlex). Reminds me why I like CGI::Simple.
