Apache::ASP and HTML::Parser

[Mike Dameron <mi...@ephibian.com>]

Has anyone used these two together?  We have developed a tool which
allows you to edit simple HTML pages within you browser using
HTML::Parser and CGI scripts.  We have been porting those scripts over
to ASP.  When testing the new scripts it appears as if it unable to
reparse the HTML file after about five to eight times.  So what we see
is the HTML page in our editing state then after reloading the page five
to eight times the HTML content is gone and never comes back unless you
touch the ASP script.

We have none of these problems when using plain old CGI and
HTML::Parser.  Any ideas on why this would be happening?

No good ideas for you really.  Try the UseStrict setting, 
which will compile all your scripts with "use strict" turned on.
This may uncover some subtle bugs that are causing you this 
problem, which might be occuring because of general CGI to modperl 
porting issues, with globals cached and scoping issues.

Make sure you read the guide.  Most of what you read with respect
to Apache::Registry CGI is relevant to Apache::ASP as they share
a similar compilation model under the hood, and the modperl 
environment more generally.

If you would like more help, you might get me a snippet of 
code that reproduces the problem.
