Description
Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C: Extending Web Server Capabilities Lincoln Stein and Doug MacEachern explain how to use the Apache API and mod_perl to extend web server functionality, regardless of the programming language used. This book demonstrates how to rewrite CGI scripts as Apache modules for improved performance, filter HTML documents, enhance server log functionality, and more. The authors provide a comprehensive guide to the design of Apache, mod_perl, and the Apache API, making it possible to develop custom modules with Perl or C. With this knowledge, you can customize your web server to meet specific needs, such as implementing dynamic navigation bars, database access, and access control. By following the examples and techniques presented in this book, you can take full advantage of the Apache API and mod_perl to create customized web applications and improve the performance of your existing CGI scripts.
