Best suite

[plvicente]

Hello Perl Monks,

Should I use this way or this way?

use Mojolicious::Lite;
 
app->config(
    hypnotoad => {
        listen => [ 'http://127.0.0.1:8082/' ],
        proxy  => 1,
    },
);
 
# the rest of your application goes here

For mojolicious Apache2

Or this way =>

LoadModule proxy_module lib/httpd/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module lib/httpd/mod_proxy_http.so

<Proxy *>
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
 </Proxy>

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName app1.somehost.com
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName app2.somehost.com
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:3001/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3001/

</VirtualHost>

Should I keep this as it is or should I look for other solution?
Instead this eg.

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI;

my $query = CGI->new();

print $query->header( "text/html" ),
  $query->start_html(-title   => "My First CGI Script",
                     -bgcolor => "#ffffcc" ),
  $query->h1( "This is a pretty lame web page" ),
  $query->p( "Who is this Ovid guy, anyway?" ),
  $query->end_html

I am seeking for solutions to be done on an apache2 server. Take care Monks.

Best Regards Monks,

Whatever you decide to do, don't do that. See the CGI.pm docs for reasons to avoid this.

Proxying your application server (whatever it is) isn’t a bad idea IMHO. Please see this as well as this for further inspiration. I had some success in the past with Tomcat and NGINX. Unfortunately Perl wasn’t part of the projects. Less or more. I placed some «Perls» in it called by Java 😜😎. Guerrilla tactics. Best regards, Karl.

Thank you for all answers and quick. I am learning how to use perl cgi. I am unix systems background. I asked and thank you in due which it suites better. My application for apache2 is a mix, so I need to know which parameters should work better.

For a light-weight, powerful, non-monolithic, friendly, stable, easy-to-get started platform for modern web development I strongly recommend you experiment with Dancer2.

Hope this helps!

Please don't...
As others have said, Mojolicious, Dancer2 or my choice is Template - anything except CGI.pm!

When you ask so generally: I personally very much perfer Mojolicious nowadays, its API is fun to work with and it supports most of the modern web technologies. I have a bunch of Mojo examples linked from my scratchpad. As for Apache, see the section "Apache/mod_proxy" in Mojolicious::Guides::Cookbook.
