APM: questions about Perl, Apache, local::lib setup on Centos 6.4

Sat Mar 14 16:49:01 PDT 2015

I would go as far as to say that mod_perl should be shunned whenever possible.  It was a great idea at the time, but it leads to applications that tend to be hard to upgrade and change over time.  Every company that I know of that used mod_perl got stuck on whatever version of Perl and Apache they started with on day 1 (and often whatever CPAN modules they had on day 1 as well. 
best of Luck

 Hi Jack,
I forgot to mention that I use FastCGI instead of mod_perl whenever possible.  It is much faster and helps keep Apache more stable.
You will see various FastCGI commands and comments throughout the LAMP University document I linked in my previous message.

Thanks, Andrew. I gravitate toward Apache because I'm so familiar with it. However, that is mostly from the CGI way of doing things. I'll check out the links you sent.

Hi Jack
You might want to consider using Nginx rather than Apache2 - my own experience is that Nginx is easier. It's also worth using Plack so that - from the viewpoint of your code it doesn't matter whether you're using Apache2, Nginx or anything else (in principle).

... just food for thought:)

Yes, that makes sense. Just the jump start I needed.

Hi Jack,
We use ShinyCMS on Catalyst on Apache2 on Ubuntu.
There may be some useful info for you in my LAMP University install notes document, starting around line 428:
https://github.com/wbraswell/lampuniversity.org/blob/master/docs/LAMP_install_notes.txt

Note the <Perl> sections of that Apache2 site config file.
I use local::lib to install Shiny/Catalyst as my non-root user 'wbraswell', then chown the '/home/wbraswell/public_html' directory for Apache use, then set the above-linked Apache config file to find everything needed in the home directory.
As for Wordpress, we barely have the time to handle our existing Shiny/Catalyst site, so personally I'll have to pass on anything extra right now.
Hope this helps!

Respected Perl Mongers,

For some time I've been installing local::lib and PerlBrew to my home
directory. This allows me to install whatever Perl I want to use without the
restrictions of the system Perl. I'm using PearlBee - https://github.com/Perl-Evozon/PearlBee - for blogging software and running plack to serve it up. I'm the only one perusing the web site.

I'm getting ready to some more serious work and would like to use Apache2. My
questions are: how do make my local::lib available to the pages being served by
apache, and do I install local::lib to the directory in Apache? Is there a secure way to still serve the web site from my home directory with Apache?

TIA for insight or reference to relevant documentation.
Jack Lupton

PS, I need to get PearlBee working with WordPress themes. Seems very similar to what is being done with the Austin Perl Mongers website. Anyone up for special sessions of APM on this subject?
