Ok mongers.   We need a volunteer speaker for this month.   If I don't
get any takers, we're going to let Matt Hahnfeld talk about how
mod_perl and Apache work together.

I think a single quote from Matt pretty much sums up his depth of
knowledge: "I'm not doing anything illegal, I'm just using
undocumented Apache features."

I know I talked to somebody else about speaking this month, but can't
remember the name.    If you were planning on speaking this month, let
me know before I book Matt.

I also need everybody's ideas for the December social.    We need to
pick a date and venue.   I'm currently thinking a 4:00 or 5:00pm event
at someplace like Cambridge House or maybe Grand Rapids Brewing
Company.    There can be a topic, possibly perl poetry or some kind of
perl-based game (think: what does this one-liner actually do?  or some
variant on pictionary but you have to code it).

I'd like to have some fun, but need better ideas than I'm capable of having.

Hi all,

Just subscribed to the list. I was looking forward to joining and meeting
everyone at the next monthly meeting. However I see that the site
(http://grand-rapids.pm.org/) does not have the next meeting listed. Will
there be a meeting this month?

A short introduction about me :)

I work for Spectrum Health, been programming in perl for 6 years, a huge
unix geek (AIX @ work, FreeBSD @ home), work a lot in web site development
with mason and embperl in my spare time, love learning new ways to dazzle
my peers and leaders with perl-based solutions to seemingly difficult
problems (especially when proprietary solutions cost mucho $$$ and perl is
free!), and generally love to meet others with similar interests.

Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

I will be sending a formal anouncement soon - consider this the informal
anouncement.     Because of Thanksgiving, the meeting will be on Friday,
December 1.    It starts at 11:30am at the Priority Health Conference
Center.

Priority Health Conference
Center<http://maps.google.com/maps?q=3111+Leonard+St+NE,+Grand+Rapids,+MI+49525+%28Priority%20Health%20Conference%20Center%29&spn=0.016144,0.039312&hl=en>

Matt Hahnfeld will be exposing Apache for what it really is ... I mean show
how to 'sploit the internals of Apache ... err ...

We really like to razz Matt here at Priority Health for his ability to find
new ways to utilize the internals of Apache and mod_perl to get the job done
faster and better than before.     He will be talking about how he does this
and how you can do it, too.

Hope to see you there!
-Al Tobey
President, Grand Rapids Perl Mongers

Subject: [grand-rapids-pm-list] Log::Dispatch:FileRotate
Message-ID: <456EA6D1020000F10001CF32@mail2.gfs.com>

I have a callback method I use to dynamically return the logfile name I
want Log4perl to use  log4perl.appender.FileAppender.filename=sub{
return getLogFileName(); }.

The method, defined in main:: is sub getLogFileName { return
$logFileName; }

This works just fine when I'm using, Log::Log4perl::Appender::File.

However, I'd like to switch to Log::Dispatch::FileRotate, to leverage
the date rotation.

Unfortunately, using the callback method doesn't seem to work.  I
haven't changed the text of the method and my rotator definition is as
follows:

	log4perl.appender.FileRotator=Log::Dispatch::FileRotate
	log4perl.appender.FileRotator.filename=sub { return
getLogFileName(); }
	log4perl.appender.FileRotator.min_level=info
	log4perl.appender.FileRotator.mode=append
	log4perl.appender.FileRotator.max=2
	log4perl.appender.FileRotator.TZ=GMT
	log4perl.appender.FileRotator.DatePattern=0:0:0:1:0:0:0
	log4perl.appender.FileRotator.layout=Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
	log4perl.appender.FileRotator.layout.ConversionPattern=${default_layout_format}

When my script is run, the correct log file is created but, nothing is
written to it.

To find out whether the problem is in the config file or the callback
method, I changed the callback method to the following, 
sub getLogFileName {
  my $string = "c:\winnt\temp\util\util.log";
  return $string;
}
This works just fine.  The log file is created and output written to
it, as expected.  My problem is that I want to build the log file name
dynamically, depending on which environment and other factors.  I've
tried several different ways to pass the dynamic text "quoted", to no
avail.

The closest I've come is to have a "CODEhhhhhh" reference passed to
config but, I'm not sure how to dereference that into a string.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Message-ID: <5ac7acb10611300758r17c69451y616bf68cdc2b05f4@mail.gmail.com>

The Grand Rapids Perl Mongers will be meeting tomorrow at 11:30am at
the Priority Health Conference Center.    Pizza will be provided, as
will the entertainment.

Abstract:

Matt Hahnfeld will be talking about the Apache 2 lifecycle and how to
pollute it ... err modify it from mod_perl 2.    Specifically, Matt
has used Apache 2 to implement a single sign-on solution that works
across multiple applications written in multiple languages, running on
multiple platforms.   His examples will be based on this work.

Door Prizes:
SAM's Publishing: Ajax for Web Application Developers
Others, when I find them ;)
Did I mention free pizza for everybody?

Directions:

The Priority Health Conference Center - is at the corner of East
Beltline and Leonard St. It is on the North side of Leonard in the old
Funeral Home building, parking is available behind the building.
Please use the entrance from Leonard Street.
