Hi, I'm looking for a solution to the following problem.
I have an engine library MySite which is a common base of code used to build a new site upon. Site1, Site2, and Site3 each have a copy of MySite at various stages in development; the copies of MySite aren't always in a consistent state because as I fix something or add a feature to the engine for a particular site, I have to regression test it before running the other sites against it. I'm trying to figure out how to have three varying copies of MySite under the same mod_perl server. As far as I can tell, perl just uses the first one it encounters. I could rework things like putting MySite under Site1 (yielding Site1::MySite::Foo) or renaming MySite for each site (yielding MySite_Site1::Foo), but both of these methods aren't going to let me use CVS on the live copies. I could run a separate mod_perl server for each site using MySite, but this eats up more memory and requires extra initscript handholding. I had a fleeting thought about some kind of kludge in the startup script for each site that would do something like the following: read each library file and application file into a string, s/MySite/MySite_Site1/g, and eval the resulting string. But I'm not enough of a Perl guru to know whether that will work or not. So I'm here soliciting advice. I hope that was somewhat clear and that I'm not crazy.... thanks, -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
