Provider Module method called twice

[Scott Penrose]

I have started a number of new provider methods for converting PDF, APT, vCalendar and other formats on the fly to XML and allowing processing. They are getting close to release but I have hit a small snag.

A short fragment...

sub get_strref {
        my $self = shift;
        warn "STR FILE = $self->{file}\n";







Thanks

Scott

Microsoft is not the answer. It's the question. And the answer is no.

For some reason, even if checking for the cached version, the sub get_strref is called. This means it is called twice on a normal request and once on a cached request. One particular module is fairly slow at converts and I need it to work properly on the caching side. This module inherits from Apache::AxKit::Provider::File, but maybe it should not ? One thought was that get_strref is supposed to return the string and do its own caching ? Is that true? If so, is there an easy way to add caching to it, and how does it then know if the file has changed. Obviously I can easily do all this myself, but I want to do it the "standard AxKit way".
