The settings are documented below.
Make sure Global is set to where your web applications global.asa is

</pre></font>You may use other Apache configuration tags like <Directory>,
<Location>, and <VirtualHost>, to separately define ASP
configurations, but using the <Files> tag is natural for
ASP application building because it lends itself naturally
to mixed media per directory. For building many separate
ASP sites, you might want to use separate .htaccess files,
or <Files> tags in <VirtualHost> sections, the latter being
better for performance.</font>

</pre></font>Perl package namespace that all scripts, includes, & global.asa
events are compiled into. By default, GlobalPackage is some
obscure name that is uniquely generated from the file path of
the Global directory, and global.asa file. The use of explicitly
naming the GlobalPackage is to allow scripts access to globals
and subs defined in a perl module that is included with commands like:

so that subroutines defined in one script will not collide with another.
<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>
</pre></font>By default, ASP scripts in a web application are compiled into the
*same* perl package, so these scripts, their includes, and the
global.asa events all share common globals & subroutines defined by each other.
The problem for some developers was that they would at times define a
subroutine of the same name in 2+ scripts, and one subroutine definition would
redefine the other one because of the namespace collision.

</pre></font>default 0. <a href=ssi.html><font size=-1 face=verdana><b>SSI</b></font></a> file includes are normally inlined in the calling
script, and the text gets compiled with the script as a whole.
With this option set to TRUE, file includes are compiled as a
separate subroutine and called when the script is run.
The advantage of having this turned on is that the code compiled
from the include can be shared between scripts, which keeps the
script sizes smaller in memory, and keeps compile times down.

<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>

a directory list separated by a semicolon ';' as in

</pre></font>Using IncludesDir in this way creates an includes search
path that would look like ., Global, ../shared, /usr/local/asp/shared
The current directory of the executing script is checked first
whenever an include is specified, then the Global directory
in which the global.asa resides, and finally the IncludesDir

an attack is successful, the hacker must also present identical
browser headers to authenticate the session, or the session will be
destroyed. Thus the User-Agent acts as a backup to the real session id.

IP addresses may change between requests during a session.

caching, see <a href=objects.html><font size=-1 face=verdana><b>OBJECTS</b></font></a>, or XSLT caching, see <a href=xml.html><font size=-1 face=verdana><b>XML/XSLT</b></font></a>, then
Apache::ASP must be loaded in the parent httpd like so:
<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>
# httpd.conf

use Apache::ASP;
</Perl>
</pre></font>The cache layer automatically expires entries upon
server restart, but for this to work, a $ServerID
must be computed when the Apache::ASP module gets
loaded to store in each cached item. Without the
above done, each child httpd process will get its
own $ServerID, so caching will not work at all.
<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>
</pre></font>This said, output caching will not work in raw <a href=cgi.html><font size=-1 face=verdana><b>CGI</b></font></a> mode,

only support key/values pairs of around 1K max in length,
the default for this is MLDBM::Sync::SDBM_File, which is very
fast for < 20K output sizes. For caching larger data than 20K,
DB_File or GDBM_File are probably better to use.

</pre></font>By default, the cache directory is at StateDir/cache,
but CacheDir can be used to set the StateDir value for
caching purposes. One may want the CacheDir separate
from StateDir for example StateDir might be a centrally
network mounted file system, while CacheDir might be
a local file cache.
<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>
PerlSetVar CacheDir /tmp/asp_demo

<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>
</pre></font>By default, this is 10M of data per cache. When any cache,
like the XSLTCache, reaches this limit, the cache will be purged
by deleting the cached dbm files entirely. This is better for
long term running of dbms than deleting individual records,
because dbm formats will often degrade in performance with
lots of insert & deletes.
<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>
</pre></font>Units of M, K, and B are supported for megabytes, kilobytes, and bytes,

penalty.

will not be reloaded. Coupled with Apache <a href=http://perl.apache.org><font size=-1 face=verdana><b>mod_perl</b></font></a> startup and restart
handlers executing Apache::ASP->Loader() for your application
this allows your application to be frozen, and only reloaded on the
next server restart or stop/start.
<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>
</pre></font>There are a few advantages for not reloading scripts and modules
in production. First there is a slight performance improvement
by not having to stat() the script, its includes and the global.asa
every request.
<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>
</pre></font>From an application deployment standpoint, you
also gain the ability to deploy your application as a
snapshot taken when the server starts and restarts.
This provides you with the reassurance that during a
production server update from development sources, you
do not have to worry with sources being used for the
wrong libraries and such, while they are all being
copied over.
<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>
</pre></font>Finally, though you really should not do this, you can
work on a live production application, with a test server
reloading changes, but your production server does see
the changes until you restart or stop/start it. This
saves your public from syntax errors while you are just
doing a quick bug fix.

SSI is implemented through this mechanism by using Apache::Filter.
A sample configuration for full SSI with filtering is in the

<font face="courier new" size=3><pre>
