Apache with Plack deployment woes seem to be back
by P Kishor 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Per 1.1811 deployment docs, if running from Apache with Plack, the following should do the trick <Location /> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Plack::Handler::Apache2 PerlSetVar psgi_app /Sites/app/app.pl </Location> When I try to run with the above, I get the following error in my Apache logs [Sat Sep 11 20:37:56 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Error while loading /Users/punkish/Sites/app/app.pl: unable to load application app : Can't locate app.pm in @INC (@INC contains: lib /usr/local/apache2/bin/lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.1/darwin-2level /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.1/darwin-2level /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl . /usr/local/apache2) at (eval 57) line 2.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 57) line 2.\n My app directory looks like so -rw-r--r-- 1 punkish punkish 635 Aug 25 00:23 Makefile.PL -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 punkish punkish 80 Sep 11 20:39 app.pl* -rw-r--r--@ 1 punkish punkish 682 Sep 11 21:01 config.yml drwxr-xr-x 4 punkish punkish 136 Aug 25 00:23 environments/ drwxr-xr-x 5 punkish punkish 170 Sep 11 20:57 lib/ drwxr-xr-x 3 punkish punkish 102 Aug 25 00:32 logs/ drwxr-xr-x 11 punkish punkish 374 Sep 7 13:38 public/ drwxr-xr-x 4 punkish punkish 136 Aug 25 00:23 t/ drwxr-xr-x 6 punkish punkish 204 Sep 11 21:04 views/ and my app.pl file looks like so #!/usr/local/bin/perl use Dancer; use lib ('lib'); load_app 'app'; dance; and my app/lib directory looks like so drwxr-xr-x 6 punkish punkish 204 Sep 11 21:30 app/ -rw-r--r--@ 1 punkish punkish 397 Sep 11 20:57 app.pm What am I doing wrong? -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science =======================================================================

Code refactoring gotchas?
by Flavio Poletti 11 Sep '10

11 Sep '10

Hi All, I'm just starting with Dancer, pointers to applicable documentation are more than welcome if you don't have time to give an extended answer. I sometimes am in the need of refactoring code that should be shared between different routes. As an example, I could have a POST route '/do-operation' that has to perform some operations and then generate a page exactly as if a GET route '/default' had been called. I understand that it's not possible (not advisable) to call a route from another route, so the obvious solution that comes to mind is to create a function that encapsulates all that the '/default' route action is supposed to do, then call it from the two different routes: sub default { # ... } get '/default' => \&default; post '/do-operation' => sub { # do whatever I need, then... return default(); } Is this approach save and future-proof? In particular, what are the constraints of using the different Dancer functions - e.g. var, session, splat, ... - inside a sub that isn't "installed" as a route action in the way all the examples report? To give a bit of perspective to my concern, I heard a lot about Devel::Declare and related stuff that plug in during the parsing phase, and I wouldn't like to incur in problems by not adhering to some "best practice", whichever it is (e.g. use HTTP redirections to force the browser to send a new request for '/default', but I would like to avoid this). Thank you, Flavio.

'set' and 'any' redefined by PDL
by P Kishor 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Hello, I have a problem... I am incorporating PDL (http://pdl.perl.org) into my Dancer web site, and I am getting the error message that 'set' and 'any' are redefined. 'set' and 'any' are important PDL methods. Is there any way I can redefine Dancer's 'set' and 'any' to something like 'dancer-set' and 'dancer-any' and have everyone live in harmony? -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science =======================================================================

Thank Kish for your time, I can do my web in PHP and HTML but just looking for basic web programming and if possible, join existing project to learn better not to learn basic stuff here. Perl GUI or webui is not as common as python, Ruby and PHP are. Anyway, appreciate your response.

Hello kishor, I have read cookbook and just need a guide in doing basic web design before moving to development. I have enjoyed my perl scripting but need to fill up the gap of near non-existing small CRM suite from perl. I will be glad for mentoring Thanks On Sep 5, 2010 4:07 PM, "P Kishor" <punk.kish(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, Sep 5, 2010 at 8:29 AM, Goke Aruna <p6klass(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hello list, > > Can someone just give me the basic concept used in using dancer? > > I have been looki... > did you see Dancer::Cookbook, Dancer::Introduction and perldancer.org? >

runtime error
by Maurice Mengel 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Hi! I get a "runtime error" with the message: "Warning caught during route execution: objId544" I don't understand what that means nor where it comes from. It seems to happen after every thing is done. At least I still get the debug message from the last line before the last return in the route. "objId544" refers to REQUEST_URI which is "/oai?verb=GetRecord&identifier=spk.berlin.de:EM-objId-544&metadataPrefix=lido" in this example. The stack (see below) doesn't point anywhere useful. At least for not useful for me. l. 142 is "dance;" Any tips for me? Thanks!

issue tracking - RT or github
by Naveed Massjouni 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

The http://perldancer.org/contribute page says to report issues on rt.cpan.org. The 'View/Report Bugs' link on http://search.cpan.org/~sukria/Dancer-1.1809 points to github. So when should we submit tickets to rt.cpan.org versus github? Thanks, Naveed

return part of the data
by Maurice Mengel 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi fellow dancers, So far I know only how to return output via return. As far as I can see, this requires that I already have the full content available at the point when I return. I wonder if there is there is a webapp equivalent to this foreach (@big_loop) { my $result=do_something(); print STDOUT $result } where I can calculate a piece, output it and continue to do so until done. This would bring down the lacency (until response begins) enormously. I am working on a OAI data provider, see http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html. The specification requires me to deliver a potentially big xml via http. I would love to generate this xml on the fly. Or do I get something totally wrong here? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. thanks from the beginners' dance class Maurice
