Apache::Wyrd is a Perl module for HTML embeddable perl objects under mod_perl.

Apache::Wyrd is the core module in a collection of interoperating modules that allow the rapid object-oriented development of web sites in Apaches mod_perl environment (LAMP). This collection includes a very flexible, HTML-friendly method of defining dynamic items on a web page, and interfacing directly to perl objects with them. It comes with many pre-built objects to support a web site such as an authentication module, an reverse-lookup database, granular debugging, and smart forms/inputs and their interfaces to a DBI-compliant SQL application.

The collection is not meant to be a drop-in replacement for PHP, ColdFusion, or other server-side parsed content creation systems, but to provide a more flexible framework for organic custom perl development for an experienced perl programmer who favors an object-oriented approach. It has been designed to simplify the transition from static to dynamic web content by allowing the design of objects that can be operated by a non-perl programmer through the modification of the HTML page on which the content is to be delivered.

The Apache::Wyrd module itself is an abstract class used to create HTML-embeddable perl objects (Wyrds). The embedded objects are interpreted from HTML files by an instance of the abstract class Apache::Wyrd::Handler. Most Wyrds also require an instance of an Apache::Wyrd::DBL object to store connection information and to provide intermediary access to the Apache request and any DBI-style database interfaces.
Each Wyrd has a corresponding perl module which performs work and generates output at the Wyrds location on the HTML page, if any. Each of these objects is a derived class of Apache::Wyrd, and consequently draws on the existing methods of the abstract class as well as implements methods of its own. A few "hook" methods (_setup, _format_output, and _generate_output in particular) are defined in the abstract class for this purpose.

The modules in this distribution are not meant to be used directly. Instead, instances of the objects are created in another namespace (in all POD synopses called BASENAME, but it can be any string acceptable as a single namespace of a perl class) where the Handler object has been configured to use that namespace in interpreting HTML pages (see Apache::Wyrd::Handler).

Apache::AppSamurai Perl module protects vulnerable or sensitive web applications. The target use is in reverse proxy configurations, with a Apache mod_perl proxy inside a DMZ and a backend web server in another DMZ or an internal network.
Main features:
- Modular multi-factor authentication system
- Form based or basic auth based logins
- Encrypted storage of session data on proxy
- Able to use any Apache::Session storage type (including MySQL or Postgress for clustered deployment)
- Configurable from httpd.conf (no coding required)
- Coded with security in mind
Example uses of AppSamurai include:
- Moving authentication in front of sensitive web applications, only allowing traffic from authenticated users to even touch the web applications.
- Adding a strong authentication factor to a network appliances canned web interface.
- Protecting Exchange Outlook Web Access/ActiveSync with strong, multi-factor authentication, including dynamic tokens.

Apache::NNTPGateway is a NNTP interface (Usenet newsgroups) for mod_perl enabled Apache web server.

SYNOPSIS

You must be using mod_perl, see http://perl.apache.org/ for details.

For the correct work your apache configuration should contain apache directives look like these:

In httpd.conf (or any other apache configuration file):

< Location "/path/to/newsgroup" >
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::NNTPGateway
PerlSetVar NNTPGatewayNewsGroup "newsgroup"
PerlSetVar NNTPGateway... (see L< CONFIGURATION > Directives)
< /Location >

This module implements a per group interface to NNTP (Usenet) News-Groups, it allow users to list, read, post, followup ... articles in a given newsgroup/newsserver depending of configuration. This is not a replacement for a real powerful newsreader client but just pretend to be a simple, useful mapping of some news articles into a web space.

Apache::TestMB is a subclass of Module::Build to support Apache::Test.

SYNOPSIS

Standard process for building & installing modules:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

Or, if youre on a platform (like DOS or Windows) that doesnt like the "./" notation, you can do this:

perl Build.PL
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install

This class subclasses Module::Build to add support for testing Apache integration with Apache::Test. It is broadly based on Apache::TestMM, and as such adds a number of build actions to a the Build script, while simplifying the process of creating Build.PL scripts.

Heres how to use Apache::TestMB in a Build.PL script:

use Module::Build;

my $build_pkg = eval { require Apache::TestMB }
? Apache::TestMB : Module::Build;

my $build = $build_pkg->new(
module_name => My::Module,
);
$build->create_build_script;

This is identical to how Module::Build is used. Not all target systems may have Apache::Test (and therefore Apache::TestMB installed, so we test for it to be installed, first. But otherwise, its use can be exactly the same. Consult the Module::Build documentation for more information on how to use it; Module::Build::Cookbook may be especially useful for those looking to migrate from ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
