RE: [Mason] Using a handler to setup different globals for virtual sites

Hello There.


If you are using Apache::DBI, then just be aware that it can handle only =
two
database handlers. And even that using some trick - normally it can =
handle
only one handler.=20
See Apache::DBI's documentation.=20

Subject: [Mason] Using a handler to setup different globals for virtual
sites


Hi folks,

I've got a bit of a problem that I beleive I can solve using a
handler, currently I configure mason using httpd.conf directives.

The problem is that I have several different mason apps running on one
machine, but they all want globals with the same name. Preferbly,
they'd be able to save that variable's reference over multiple
requests as well (we are of course talking about a database handle
here).

My current approach is to change my apps, so one uses a global of
'$fdbh', another uses '$dbh', and so on. This is kind of ugly.

I'd like them to all be able to use $dbh, and get their own handle
connected to their own database using it.

I'll keep experimenting, but for now my question is fairly simple - is
a line like:

  PerlSetVar MasonAllowGlobals $dbh

in httpd.conf, equivalent to something like:

  package HTML::Mason::Commands;
  my $dbh;

in handler.pl ?=20

Because I think it's not, at least the way I'm doing it :-)
