in reply to mod_perl memory question
If the cache needs to be shared among children - I second the vote for memcache.
If each child needs its own, I'd do something like the following using the End module:
When your handler goes out of scope - the object stored in $clear_cache will go out of scope and the stored coderef will fire - clearing your cache.
If each child needs its own, I'd do something like the following using the End module:
# add clear_cache method to your sharedcache package sharedcache; sub clear_cache { $cache = undef } # inside your apache handler use the following: use End; sub handler { my $clear_cache = end { sharedcache::clear_cache() }; # normal handler operations go here }
When your handler goes out of scope - the object stored in $clear_cache will go out of scope and the stored coderef will fire - clearing your cache.
my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];
