Hi People, I am thinking to use IOCP in perl in one of our network related code. Currently Active State Perl till 5.10 doesn't offer this feature? Is anyone aware of free module to use ASIO feature like IOCP in perl? -Karthik ...
We have a setup where most code, before being promoted to full production, is deployed in BETA mode - meaning, it runs in full production environment (using production database - usually production data; and production web server). We call that stage BETA testing. One of the main requirements is that BETA code promotion to production mu...
I have an Apache2/mod_perl2 system up and running. I'm using GD to create an image on the fly, and I'm then printing it like this: $r->content_type('image/png'); binmode STDOUT; print $im->png; But is this the correct way to do things in mod_perl2? (Ignore the fact that I'm generating an image on the fly and not caching it etc ...) ...
The Short Version I have a mod_perl handler in Apache that uses generated code (from wsdl2perl) to make SOAP calls to a web service. One of the methods from the WSDL is failing to create valid SOAP XML unless I "touch" the generated perl module after Apache has been started. Other methods from the WSDL are fine. A standalone perl script ...

Hello, I recently discovered that one of our sites has a memory leak in it, it's very strange because it happened all of the sudden. I've used GTop to measure the memory size per process and it tells me that the real value is somewhere around 65 MB (on the server) per request and and additional 5 MB shared. I tried preloading the modul...
Hi everyone, I've got this project running under mod_perl shows some information on a host. On this page is a text box with a dropdown that allows users to ping/nslookup/traceroute the host. The output is shown in the text box like a tail -f. It works great under CGI. When the user requests a ping it would make an AJAX call to the serv...

Right now we have a large perl application that is using raw DBI to connect to MySQL and execute SQL statements. It creates a connection each time and terminates. Were starting to approach mysql's connection limit (200 at once) It looks like DBIx::Connection supports application layer connection pooling. Has anybody had any experience...
I've written a website in Perl. It has a root handler, that all HTTP requests are sent to. This root handler then processes the request, and things like cookies, POST and GET vars, etc, then chooses a sub-handler and forwards the request on to that. Because the root handler includes all the sub handlers, and all the sub handlers includ...

We have a web-based calender App, which was written long before I was hired by our company. It uses a proprietary system (our own) to store and work with them. I was told it wasn't that bad of an App back in the day, but with the inception of web calendars (notably Google Calendars), it just seems outdated and unusable. Our boss wants u...

However, even though the process number is the same, it seems that variables changed during the child_init() call revert back to their default values when handler() gets called. The basic scenario is: ...
I have been successfully using SQLite as a data store for my web applications, but now I am implementing a web site with mod_perl, and am running into database locking issues. As expected, my entire web application is loaded by the Plack Apache handler (Plack::Handler::Apache2) when the web server is started. Well, the first db query cr...
Hello, I wonder if and how it is possible to write a custom "protocol handler" (listening at a custom port) for Apache 2 in PHP? In C and mod_perl you can write so-called "protocol handlers", which intercept the early Apache stage (after a client socket connection has been accept()ed, but before any content has been written to it) and ...
