Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello!

I am looking for some help with Apache::RegistryLoader. I am trying to preload some of my scripts but when I try to install Apache::RegistryLoader it starts an infinite loop, or stalls. Something not right is happening. I would really like to see if I can save some more memory by doing this.

Anyone have any advice?

Thanks!

    We can't just help you based on this information.
    You should at least give the following information.
    - What server are you on (windows / linux / bsd)
    - How is apache compiled (did you install a binary package?)
    - What are the specs of the server
    - Versions of your software
    etc.etc.

    Then you might get possible ideas to search for:
    - Did you try each script separately?
    - Are you referencing scripts to eachother, and are there circular references?
    - Do you use strict and warnings
    - Do the scripts work properly without preloading?


    Please send an example of a script that doesn't preload.

      My problem is that I can not get apache::registryloader to install at all.. It hangs during install. My scripts work fine and is on a linux machine.

        You still don't give enough information about the problem, but if you can't get it to work, lets try a work-around:
        Why don't you try to use a 'startup.pl' script to compile your modules in the first apache server?
        example for apache2: 
        # in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/perl.conf:
PerlModule Apache2
PerlModule ModPerl::Registry
PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload
PerlRequire /etc/apache2/startup.pl


# in /etc/apache2/startup.pl
use lib qw(/var/www/cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin/modules);

use DBI;
use CGI qw(:cgi);
use File::Find;
use HTML::Template;
use OwnModulesHere;


 print STDERR "Pre-loading HTML Templates...\n";
 if (1) {
 find(
   sub {
   return unless /\.tmpl$/;
   HTML::Template->new(
     filename => "$File::Find::dir/$_",
     cache => 1,
   );
 },

   '/var/www/TemplatesFolder', 
   );
 }

        Did you install mod_perl? If so, you already have Apache::RegistryLoader. It comes with mod_perl.

        Define "Install".

        Do you mean the initial install (from CPAN presumably) or the "working" install done by running Apache2?
