Hello, just a quick question...
Has anyone out there successfully deployed HTML::Parser in an apache
1.3.x / mod_perl / HTML::Mason environment (dynamically parsing pages)
?
I realize that the module itself is kind of crunky, and additionally
an XS module, so, i'm left wondering.
Basically, what i'm seeing is everything working as you'd expect on
the first load of the page which creates and uses an HTML::Parser
object, but, on any subsequent loads from that same apache child,
things are partially broken -- specifically, during parsing, callbacks
to text() don't seem to be happening, but callbacks to start() and
end() seem to work fine.
I'm wondering if there's any way around this -- that is, any way to
completely destroy any previous data that HTML::Parser is letting
linger that's causing a problem, and reloading the module. Not sure
about the feasiblity of this due it being XS.
I have seen odd behavior using Netscape::Bookmarks (which uses
HTML::Parse to parse the file) under mod_perl 1.3.x and Mason. I
thought it was my code maybe, but what you are saying reminds me that
we got garbage back sometimes from a parse.
