Written for Web developers and managers who are considering alternatives to commercial products, this guide to Apache and Perl provides information and instructions for building Web sites. Criteria for selecting an operating system and strategies for configuring a Web server are introduced, and a discussion of Open Source databases and development tools is included. Also provided are sample designs for common types of Web sites and techniques for content development and management. Topics such as security, performance, and ways to merge scripts and HTML, all using freely available software, are highlighted. Describes the open source tools available for building web sites. The author begins with the selection of an operating system, the Apache web server setup, and the basics of Perl CGI scripting. He then discusses databases, ways to speed up the performance of CGI, secure communications, and tools for embedding Perl scripts into web pages.
Mod_perl embeds the popular programming language Perl in the Apache web server, giving rise to a fast and powerful web programming environment. Practical mod_perl is the definitive book on how to use, optimize, and troubleshoot mod_perl. New mod_perl users will learn how to quickly and easily get mod_perl compiled and installed. But the primary purpose of this book is to show you how to take full advantage of mod_perl: how to make a mod_perl-enabled Web site as fast, flexible, and easily-maintainable as possible. The authors draw from their own personal experience in the field, as well as the combined experience of the mod_perl community, to present a rich and complete picture of how to set up and maintain a successful mod_perl site. Written for Perl web developers and web administrators, Practical mod_perl is an extensive guide to the nuts and bolts of the powerful and popular combination of Apache and mod_perl.
Apache is the most popular web server on the Internet because it is reliable. This guide to Web programming teaches you how to extend the capabilities of the Apache Web server. The book explains the design of Apache, mod_perl, and the Apache API. It then demonstrates how to use them to perform tasks such as: using mod_perl to vastly improve the performance of Perl-based CGI scripts; rewriting CGI scripts as Apache modules to give them full access to the Apache API; server-side filtering of HTML documents to embed special markup or code (much like SSD); enhancing server log functionality; converting file formats on the fly; implementing dynamic navigation bars; incorporating database access into CGI scripts; customizign access control and authorization to block robots or to use an external database for passwords. Included with the book is a detachable mod_perl quick reference card for easy lookup of mod_perl syntax and functionality.
A guide to writing CGI applications with Perl, showing how to accomplish everyday tasks necessary for online operations. Includes line-by-line code explanations, examples, and skill-stretching exercises. Also covers working with HTML, web forms, obtaining user input, cookies, tracking clicks, and access countries, using the mod_perl Apache module, connecting to a POP3 server for e-mail, Perl DBI and databases on the Web, tying a hash to a database, embedding Perl in HTML with HTML::Mason, remote file management via the Web, creating dynamic images, XML and its derivatives: RSS and RDF. Two longtime Perl programmers show how the CGI scripting language can accomplish the tasks needed for many online applications. Each chapter covers a specific Web-based application and explains the code line by line (or block by block). Includes an introductory overview for users new to CGI or Perl and numerous appendicies include handy references.
