This is not a real 100% replacement for F because of reduced functionality under some special cases, principal runtime restrictions and speedup decisions. For instance this variant does not (and cannot) provide the SetUID feature of ePerl nor does it check for allowed filename extensions (speedup!), etc. Instead it uses further features like object caching which ePerl does not use. But the accepted bristled source file format is exactly the same as with the regular ePerl facility, because Apache::ePerl uses the Parse::ePerl package which provides the original ePerl parser and translator. So, any valid ePerl which works under F can also be used under Apache::ePerl. The intent is to use this special variant of ePerl for scripts which are directly under control of the webmaster. In this situation no real security problems exists for him, because all risk is at his own hands. For the average user you should B use Apache::ePerl. Instead additionally install the regular stand-alone ePerl facility (F) for those users. So, the advantage of Apache::ePerl against the regular F is better performance and nothing else. Actually scripts executed under Apache::ePerl are at least twice as fast as under F. The reason its not that ePerl itself is faster. The reason is the runtime in-core environment of Apache/mod_perl which does not have any forking overhead. =head2 Installation and Configuration First you have to install Apache::ePerl so that Apache/mod_perl can find it. This is usually done via configuring the ePerl distribution via the same Perl interpreter as was used when building Apache/mod_perl. Second, you have to add the following config snippet to Apache's F file: PerlModule Apache::ePerl Options +ExecCGI SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::ePerl This forces all files under the directory /root/of/webmaster/area/ with extension .iphtml to be processed by the Apache::ePerl::handler function which emulates the runtime behavior of the stand-alone "eperl" program (when run as a SSSL) up to 90%. If you're not paranoid about security (for instance driving a stand-alone webserver without user accounts) you can also just use PerlModule Apache::ePerl SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::ePerl which enables .iphtml files everywhere. Third, when you want to change the defaults of the ePerl parser, you also can add something like this to the end of the snippet above. $Apache::ePerl::Config->{'BeginDelimiter'} = '{'EndDelimiter'} = '!>'; $Apache::ePerl::Config->{'CaseDelimiters'} = 0; $Apache::ePerl::Config->{'ConvertEntities'} = 1; Fourth, you can additionally enable the mod_perl runtime status which then automatically enables an Apache::ePerl status handler: Options +ExecCGI SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Status This enables the URL C in general and the URL C in special. Use it to see how much scripts where run and how much are still cached. =head1 AUTHOR Ralf S. Engelschall rse@engelschall.com www.engelschall.com =head1 HISTORY Apache::ePerl was first implemented by Mark Imbriaco Emark@itribe.netE in December 1996 as a plain Perl module after he has seen the original ePerl from Ralf S. Engelschall. It implemented the ePerl idea, but was not compatible to the original ePerl. In May 1997 Hanno Mueller Ehmueller@kabel.deE has taken over the maintainance from Mark I. and enhanced Apache::ePerl by adding caching for P-Code, adding the missing C stuff, etc. Nearly at the same time Ralf S. Engelschall was unhappy of the old Apache::ePerl from Mark I. and already started to write this version (the one you are current reading its POD). He has rewritten the complete module from scratch, but incorporated the P-Code caching idea and the Apache::Status usage from Hanno M.'s version. The big difference between this one and Mark I.'s or Hanno M.'s versions are that this version makes use of the new Parse::ePerl module which itself incorporates the original ePerl parser. So this version is more compliant to the original ePerl facility. =head1 SEE ALSO Parse::ePerl(3) Web-References: Perl: perl(1), http://www.perl.com/ ePerl: eperl(1), http://www.engelschall.com/sw/eperl/ mod_perl: mod_perl(1), http://perl.apache.org/ Apache: httpd(7), http://www.apache.org/ =cut ##EOF##
