Web Tools

If you've ever developed a Web site with Open Source tools you've probably run into those issues too.

• A Perl program to resolve web logs stored in a SQL database. I use it in conjonction with Apache::DBILogger.
• a patch to the Perl module Apache::AuthenDBI version 0.83 used for SQL-based authentication with apache and mod_perl. This patch makes the module use the DBI environment variables DBI_DSN, DBI_USER, DBI_PASS.
• a patch to Apache version 1.2 to force the correct interpreation of tab characters in the configuration file. Note that this has been fixed in a better way in Apache 1.3.
• another patch to Apache 1.2. It add a missing feature to mod_include by interpolating variables inside variables' names. Admittedly it is a little convoluted, but oh-so-useful in some circumstances.
