DESCRIPTION ^

DBD::Gofer is a DBI database driver that forwards requests to another DBI driver, usually in a seperate process, often on a separate machine. It tries to be as transparent as possible so it appears that you are using the remote driver directly.

DBD::Gofer is very similar to DBD::Proxy. The major difference is that with DBD::Gofer no state is maintained on the remote end. That means every request contains all the information needed to create the required state. (So, for example, every request includes the DSN to connect to.) Each request can be sent to any available server. The server executes the request and returns a single response that includes all the data.

This is very similar to the way http works as a stateless protocol for the web. Each request from your web browser can be handled by a different web server process.
Use Cases

This may seem like pointless overhead but there are situations where this is a very good thing. Let's consider a specific case.

Imagine using DBD::Gofer with an http transport. Your application calls connect(), prepare("select * from table where foo=?"), bind_param(), and execute(). At this point DBD::Gofer builds a request containing all the information about the method calls. It then uses the httpd transport to send that request to an apache web server.

This 'dbi execute' web server executes the request (using DBI::Gofer::Execute and related modules) and builds a response that contains all the rows of data, if the statement returned any, along with all the attributes that describe the results, such as $sth->{NAME}. This response is sent back to DBD::Gofer which unpacks it and presents it to the application as if it had executed the statement itself.

Fall at Burt’s Farm

Come experience the fall season at Burt’s farm in the secluded North Georgia Mountains where the only thing more beautiful than the fall foliage is the sea of orange created by thousands of Burt’s pumpkins. At Burt’s farm we have pumpkins that range from an eye popping 150 lbs. to a modest 1 lb. We grow thousands of pumpkins, so the selection is vast and the quantity is never ending. One of the most fascinating features of Burt’s farm is the impressive selection of every type of pumpkin, winter squash, gourds and fall decoration. Indian corn, cornstalks and hay bales are also in never ending supply at the farm. We also offer hayrides and fieldtrips pulled by our John Deere tractors that take you through a winding trail filled with nature and beauty. Don't forget to check the "barn" store for Burts fresh baked pumpkin pie and pumpkin roll, candied popcorn and a whole assortmen of other goodies, also shop for Burt's farm wear and other fall decorations. Please remember, no pets allowed.

These guys have 100 pound pumpkins. Seriously.

I generally avoid blog posts that are less than a million words, but today you are in luck; I am just going to share two shell aliases that I find quite helpful for Catalyst development:

alias cs="perl script/*_server.pl -d"
alias carpcs="perl -MCarp::Always script/*_server.pl -d"

cs will start the Catalyst server for the app in the current directory. carpcs will make all warnings/dies give a full backtrace.

Maybe a little hackish, but very helpful. I use bash, btw.

A senior Bush administration official said the text calls for U.S. troops to leave Iraqi cities, cease street patrols and return to their bases by June, unless Iraqis request their support.

The agreement also calls for U.S. troops to leave Iraq by the end of 2011, the senior official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions.

The official said that the Iraqis could ask U.S. troops to stay beyond 2011 depending on conditions on the ground but that the Iraqis would have "sole discretion" as to whether troops remain.
