PerlOptions +Parent and virtual hosts

Hello,

I have successfully been using name-based virtual hosts and have just
added "PerlOptions +Parent" as a way to have multiple branches of my
codebase running on the same server.  A typical virtual host is
configured as:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName    trunk.translator.xcma.devo
    DocumentRoot  C:\depot\trunk\perl\xcma\translator\html

    PerlOptions  +Parent

    <Perl>
        use lib 'C:\depot\trunk\perl\common';
        use lib 'C:\depot\trunk\perl\xcma\common';
        use lib 'C:\depot\trunk\perl\xcma\translator';
    </Perl>

    PerlRequire  C:\depot\trunk\perl\xcma\translator\translator.pl

    PerlSetVar MasonAutohandlerName autohandler.mas
    PerlSetVar MasonCompRoot        "site =>
C:\depot\trunk\perl\xcma\translator\html"
    PerlAddVar MasonCompRoot        "comp => C:\depot\trunk\perl\common\html"
    PerlSetVar MasonDataDir
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\mason\trunk.translator.xcma.devo
    PerlSetVar MasonEscapeFlags     "h =>
\&HTML::Mason::Escapes::basic_html_escape"

    <LocationMatch "\.(css|html|js)$">
        SetHandler   perl-script
        PerlHandler  HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
    </LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>

The only difference versus the other virtual hosts is the replacement
of "trunk" with "release".

When I launch Apache, it crashes unless I also have the following
virtual host configured at the end of my httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName    localhost
    DocumentRoot  C:

    PerlOptions   +Enable
</VirtualHost>

I've found that I can have any perl-related directive in place of
"PerlOptions +Enable" (e.g., replaced with "PerlModule  HTML::Mason").
 If I remove the directive, or if I remove this virtual host
altogether, it crashes (with no error).  This is on Windows ... my
development environment ... haven't experimented on my Linux server
yet.

Hoping somebody can help ... thanks!

Jeff,

Since this is a general Perl question, not a mod_perl question, you'd
be better off asking on the Win32 perl mailing list or perlmonks.org.

$r->subprocess_env
$r->headers_in
$r->notes

depends on what the other apps understand. I think subprocess_env is 
best choice.

subprocess_env manipulates environment variables. So, if your 
application can read them it fetches them from that place.

Somehow you managed to execute an internal redirect between the time 
your filter is invoked and the CGI script. Is there an ErrorDocument 
involved? Another way to get an internal redirect is a CGI script that 
prints these 2 headers:

Status: 200
Location: /new/url

Apache then copies all environment variables (subprocess_env) from the 
original request to the environment of the new (redirected) request 
with "REDIRECT_" prepended to all names. That is why you see a 
REDIRECT_XXX variable.

Vulnerability ?

Re: Vulnerability ?

For mod_perl 2 users, this only affects you if you use
ModPerl::PerlRun or ModPerl::Registry.
