{"product_id":"writing-apache-modules-with-perl-doug-maceachern-9781565925670","title":"Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C: The Apache API and mod_perl","description":"\u003cp\u003eApache is the most popular web server on the Internet because it is free, reliable, and extensible. The availability of the source code and the modular design of Apache makes it possible to extend web server functionality through the Apache API.For the most part, however, the Apache API has only been available to C programmers, and requires rebuilding the Apache server from source. mod_perl, the popular Apache module used primarily for enhanced CGI performance, changed all that by making the Apache API available to Perl programmers. With mod_perl, it becomes simple to develop Apache modules with Perl and install them without having to rebuild the web server.\u003ci\u003eWriting Apache Modules with Perl and C\u003c\/i\u003e shows how to extend web server capabilities regardless of whether the programming language is Perl or C. The book explains the design of Apache, mod_perl, and the Apache API. It then demonstrates how to use them to perform for tasks like the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRewriting CGI scripts as Apache modules to vastly improve performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServer-side filtering of HTML documents, to embed special markup or code (much like SSI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhancing server log functionality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConverting file formats on the fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplementing dynamic navigation bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporating database access into CGI scripts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomizing access control and authorization to block robots or to use an external database for passwords\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThe authors are Lincoln Stein and Doug MacEachern.
