I was spoiled by having so much built into mod_perl and I hand ported p5-Apache-AuthCookie for my own use. Right now I have been using PostgreSQL for all of my passwords, usernames and products bought through PayPal IPN. Works great but no longer. PostgreSQL can indeed be accessed with a socket inside of chroot, so that looks like best versus http (yes, best?).
There are a ton of Perl modules to handle all of the stuff I need to replace, but as usual, there are good modules and crap modules and I don't have a clue what to use and what NOT to use. I have been steadily moving all of my http into the database, which I really like. I've begun moving things under -current for testing, which is nice. I have most of my websites in English and Spanish, which was using Apache MultiViews plus browser preferences, links on pages for the other language or adding ?lang=es or ?lang=en if I am producing the new links on the fly. As far as my tastes, I found CGI.pm way of producing http, well, distasteful. But I don't know what else it can and cannot do for what I need. I am currently using cookies for password protected areas. I could also add those for languages, but many people refuse cookies for other uses. Who can really blame them being tracked, etc. Any help appreciated. If the best choices have not been ported, let me know and I will endeavor to bring those into ports. Thanks, Chris Bennett
