Links SQL Help

Links SQL Developers Guide: mod_perl Setup

mod_perl is, simply, integrating perl inside of the Apache web browser. Links SQL fully supports mod_perl, and it is very easy to get started.

Add the following section to your httpd.conf file:

<Location /url/to/links/cgi>
     SetHandler perl-script     
     PerlHandler Apache::Registry
     PerlSendHeader On
     Options +ExecCGI
</Location>

And to your perl startup file you need to add:

     use lib '/full/path/to/admin';
     use Links::mod_perl;

And you are done! Links SQL will pre load all the modules needed, and also sets up a mod_perl handler which can be used to increase performance for ceartain tasks.
