Apache::PerlRun(3)    User Contributed Perl Documentation   Apache::PerlRun(3)

NAME
       Apache::PerlRun - Run unaltered CGI scripts under mod_perl

SYNOPSIS
	#in httpd.conf

	Alias /cgi-perl/ /perl/apache/scripts/
	PerlModule Apache::PerlRun

	<Location /cgi-perl>
	SetHandler perl-script
	PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun
	Options +ExecCGI
	#optional
	PerlSendHeader On
	...
	</Location>

DESCRIPTION
       This module's handler emulates the CGI environment, allowing program-
       mers to write scripts that run under CGI or mod_perl without change.
       Unlike Apache::Registry, the Apache::PerlRun handler does not cache the
       script inside of a subroutine.  Scripts will be "compiled" every
       request.	 After the script has run, it's namespace is flushed of all
       variables and subroutines.

       The Apache::Registry handler is much faster than Apache::PerlRun.  How-
       ever, Apache::PerlRun is much faster than CGI as the fork is still
       avoided and scripts can use modules which have been pre-loaded at
       server startup time.  This module is meant for "Dirty" CGI Perl scripts
       which relied on the single request lifetime of CGI and cannot run under
       Apache::Registry without cleanup.

CAVEATS
       If your scripts still have problems running under the Apache::PerlRun
       handler, the PerlRunOnce option can be used so that the process running
       the script will be shutdown.  Add this to your httpd.conf:

	<Location ...>
	PerlSetVar PerlRunOnce On
	...
	</Location>
