mod_perl and access to the parent processes environment?
|
|
|
So how can I set up the environment prior to launching httpd so that
these values are available in <Perl> stanza's in httpd.conf?
It doesn't look like this is possible.
It looks like the only thing I can do is say
-Ddefinesomething
and then in httpd.conf
ifdefined definesomething
do something
but I need to do more than this.
I want to be able to pass information from the script that launches
httpd and have that information available within a <Perl> stanza. |

Set an environment variable then access it via %ENV?

You could also, of course, just include a file into httpd.conf which has
the relevant values set. If necessary this included file could be created
with the relevant values added in dynamically by the startup script.

That won't work out well because the server would have to be
restarted.
Robert, instead I suggest you modify an .htaccess file
instead. Htaccess files are re-read on each access. However, I
doubt you need to do this. Probably anything you can do in a
<Perl> section of an Apache config file can also be done in a
custom perl-handler.

"prior to launching" indicates to me that this is a one-off setting at
startup.
